Stevie Nicks wants a piece of the Taylor Swift Fever

It’s true. The rate in which the cheese has slid off the ritz has really accelerated since the death of her mother. The only person that kept her in this stratosphere.

God forbid LB passes before her. It's going to be all about her.

Obviously it’ll be horrible when either one of them dies, but having said that, if Lindsey should pass first, I can’t wait to make some popcorn and check out the Ledge! Knowing that every comment Stevie makes will have certain folks twirling more than Stevie ever did, not to mention speaking in tongues like she hilariously and supposedly did during Sisters of the Moon circa Mirage tour, well I wouldn’t miss that for the world! The word by word analysis by the Ledge of every sentence she utters will keep me entertained for hours!

Honestly, I don't think she'd post about him or if asked for comment, she'd decline. I really think she can't stand him.

They'd never get her to shut up about it.

Oh my goodness. You've got that right. Let's face it, she's going to be talking about him on her deathbed, even if it's just to accuse him of doing something insane to her, like knocking over her oxygen tent.

She'd have her spirit catcher out.

And a dream catcher. I am waiting for her to say Christine came to her in a dream.

I think it’s actually a bit sad now that Stevie really is not capable of communicating about her friends who have passed on, people she admires like RBG, or a tragedy like Uvalde without centering herself in the story. It’s clear she doesn’t even see how odd it truly is. I don’t think she means any harm by it, but it just feels very sad to me to be that out of touch with life outside your own persona. The Uvalde statement was well meaning, but, hoo boy, it sure did take her a long time to mention the kids or anyone except herself.

Stevie remains very talented at attaching herself to current trends and boosting her celebrity that way. She probably didn’t really need to do that kind of thing before Street Angel, but since then, she’s made a point to connect herself to the younger generations (Sarah McLachlan, Sheryl Crow, Courtney Love, Vanessa Carlton, Harry Styles, Taylor Swift, Haim etc. etc.). The quality of Stevie’s best songs and the persona she carved out for herself are timeless and she will always find younger artists who will include her.

I would be VERY surprised if Stevie is silent about Lindsey, if that comes to pass. I would expect an emotional statement centered on herself that somewhat ignores the sad and petty end to their musical partnership. I don’t think either Stevie or Lindsey has conducted themselves all that well over the course of their 60+ year relationship so I expect she has a lot of negative feelings towards him. But losing him would be losing a big part of her own story, which she would mourn.

Well said. I think this is what happens with someone whose world revolves completely around themself. She has nobody around her who would dare tell her that her statement(s) are coming off in more of a self-serving way. She has surrounded herself with yes-men whose livelihood depends on Stevie. I truly believe the major shift toward the extreme self-absorbed Stevie (let’s face it most people of her ilk are pretty self centered and egotistical regardless) happened after her Mom died. I think her parents kept her grounded to some degree. I would agree that her Uvalde statement was likely well intended but it’s ALL ABOUT HER.
