> It’s culturally relevant because Taylor is literally America’s main export of sorts around the world for the moment. And Steve Nicks is a generation bridge musically.

It's a noteworthy juxtaposition of musical generations and styles. While I'm not a fan per se of either woman, as a lifelong musician I acknowledge their God-given talents and respect their career successes.

IMO neither is a paragon of virtue, but virtue doesn't get airplay, then or now. This was a nice gesture on Swift's part. It's very clear that Nicks was a huge influence on her musical development.

I like Nicks. Bought lots of her albums. I’ve never heard Swift. BFD.

Yep 4 note samba Stevie and annoying vibrato- whatever. Was her best when it was Buckingham Nicks. Which of course almost no one remembers her much better voice and range then and Lindsey’s finger style (banjo player originally) electric.
Why Mick Fleetwood hired both of them:
