Taylor Swift is getting poetic about Stevie Nicks.

The pop superstar, 34, praised the legendary Fleetwood Mac 76-year-old singer, who performed at the final night of Swift’s Eras tour in Dublin on June 30.

During a speech announcing her set of unique surprise songs at each stop on the tour, Swift called Nicks someone “who has truly been one of the reasons why I — or any female artist — can do what we do.”

“She paved the way for us and she mentored so many artists that you don’t even know she’s doing it. She’s become friends with so many female artists just to be a mentor. I can’t tell you how rare that is,” Taylor said of Nicks’ impact and their friendship. “She’s a hero of mine and also someone that I can tell any secret that she would never tell anyone. She’s really helped me through a lot over the years. I’m talking about Stevie Nicks.”

Swift then performed her song “Clara Bow” from her latest album, The Department of Tortured Poets — an appropriate choice since she mentions Nicks’ name in the lyrics.

“You look like Stevie Nicks/In ’75, hair and lips/Crowd going wild at her fingertips/Half moonlight, total eclipse,” she sings in the song.

Stevie showed his appreciation by writing a poem, “For T – and Me…,” which is included in The Department of Tortured Poets.

And it looks like Taylor and Stevie were able to spend some time together after the show. According to The New York PostStevie was with Taylor as she celebrated her gig at the Hacienda Bar in Dublin on Sunday night. Taylor’s boyfriend was also present at the bar, Travis Kelce, Lover and members of Taylor’s crew.
