Taylor Swift has opened up about the influence of Stevie Nicks on her life and career.
During her appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, the singer called herself "very lucky" to have the guidance of Nicks.
While promoting her upcoming Disney+ docuseries The End of an Era, Swift said, "I try really hard not to do the whole like, ‘Oh, my god, there’s no one that can relate to what I’m going through!’ You know what I mean? Nobody wants to hear that. I don’t want to hear it."
Adding, "It annoys me when I start to go down that path. So I try to find through-lines in many people’s experiences. Like, I think we can relate to each other, even if our lives aren’t identical."
Swift went on to share, "I’ve been very lucky. I have Stevie Nicks in my life in a way that affects me positively constantly. Being able to talk to her and have a phone call with her and hear what she’s been through, she paved the way for me and any other artist to get to do this on this level."
She noted, "So I feel very lucky that she’s lended her very magical, wonderful, wise approach to life to me."
Taylor Swift and Stevie Nicks share a close bond. They performed together for the first time in 2010. Nicks found comfort in Swift's track You're on Your Own Kid which helped her process grief of losing Fleetwood Mac bandmate Christine McVie in 2022. Meanwhile, Swift had dedicated Clara Bow performance to Nicks during Eras Tour stop in Dublin.
