To the legend in the VIP tent of the Eras Tour, you look like Stevie Nicks.

The Fleetwood Mac singer-songwriter watched the three-hour plus show Sunday on the final night in Dublin, Ireland.

During the surprise, acoustic set Swift honored her by belting “Clara Bow” from “The Tortured Poets Department.” The 16th track mentions the rock-and-roll icon in the second verse: “You look like Stevie Nicks / In ’75, the hair and lips / Crowd goes wild at her fingertips / Half moonshine, a full eclipse.”

“This one is a pretty easy one because I’ve never played this one live before,” Swift said in her sunset orange dress. “The reason I want to play this tonight is because a friend of mine is here who is watching the show and who has really been one of the reasons why I or any female artist gets to do what we get to do. She’s paved the way for us. And she’s mentored so many artists that you don’t even know she’s doing it.”

Swift added how Nicks has mentored her and so many female artists. “Just to be a guiding hand, I can’t tell you how rare that is,” Swift said. “She’s a hero of mine and also someone that I can tell her any secret and she would never tell anybody. She’s really helped me through so much over the years.”
