Stevie Nicks just blew away fans with her performance at BottleRock Napa Valley – and eagle-eyed spectators spotted a subtle nod to Taylor Swift among the Fleetwood Mac icon’s accessories.
Nicks, 76, was wearing a bracelet from Swift’s The Tortured Poet’s Department merch during her live performance, making it clear that she counts herself among the legions of Swifties who have kept TTPD as the number one album for weeks.
Wearing all black and looking like an astrological witch as per usual, the Dreams icon sported layers of necklaces and bracelets, though the chunky gold-plated bracelet stood out among them.
In a video a fan captured from the crowd, Nicks’ sleeve slipped back as she sang Gold Dust Woman, revealing the accessory.
The bracelet is a chunky chain link that features the album’s logo and can be purchased for $40 from Swift’s official merch shop – a low price considering it can now technically be counted as a friendship bracelet with Stevie Nicks.
Swift and Nicks have reportedly been friends for quite some time, and Swift even drops her name in Clara Bow on her new album, singing: ‘You look like Stevie Nicks / In ’75, the hair and lips / Crowd goes wild at her fingertips / Half moonshine, a full eclipse.’

The two singer songwriters first collaborated in 2010 when they duetted Rhiannon and You Belong with Me at the 2010 Grammys.
It’s clear the friendship remains strong, as Nicks was intimately involved in the creation of TTPD, even writing a poem that tells the story of star-crossed lovers and is included in physical copies of the album.

The poem, which is entitled For T and Me, reads in part: ‘He was in love with her / Or at least she thought so / She was brokenhearted / Maybe he was too / Neither of them knew / She was way too hot to handle / He was way too high to try / He couldn’t even see her.’
It continues: ‘He really can’t answer her / He’s afraid of her / He’s hiding from her / And he knows that he’s hurting her.’
Nicks has previously praised Swift, saying in 2010 in a TIME profile: ‘Taylor reminds me of myself in her determination and her childlike nature. It’s an innocence that’s so special and so rare,’ she said.

‘Taylor can do ballads that could be considered pop or rock and then switch back into country. When I turned 20 years old, I had just made the serious decision to never be a dental assistant. Taylor just turned 20, and she’s won four Grammys.’
Nicks also told Today in an interview last year that her and Swift have a lot in common in terms of their songwriting styles: ‘I never don’t tell the truth. And I think that’s something that if Taylor Swift, who is my friend, if Taylor got anything from me, that’s what she got.’
She continued: ‘I don’t ever lie in my songs,and if you broke up with me, I don’t put I broke up with you. I tell the truth, always.’
