This Taylor Swift Song Helped Stevie Nicks Grieve The Loss Of Her Fleetwood Mac Bandmate

During her May 22, 2023 Atlanta show, Stevie Nicks took a minute to talk about how Taylor Swift has helped her grieve Christine McVie. "Thank you to Taylor Swift for doing a favor for me, and that is, writing a song called 'You're on Your Own, Kid,'" the Fleetwood Mac singer said on stage, per a Twitter video from the concert. "That is the sadness of how I feel." Nicks recalled that she and McVie didn't need to stay in touch over the phone to maintain a close relationship. Rather, they'd go without speaking for a long time, and then whenever they saw each other again, it would always feel exactly the same.

"When it was the two of us, the two of us were on our own, kids," Nicks continued, alluding to Swift's song. "We always were, and now, I'm having learn to be on my own, kid, by myself. You helped me do that. Thank you." In the clip, the singer seems emotional, but also at peace as she concludes her speech.
