Stevie Nicks was seen looking visibly emotional at a recent Taylor Swift concert in Dublin.

Last night (June 30), Swift performed the last of a three-show run at the Aviva Stadium as part of her ongoing ‘Eras’ tour, and played ‘Midnights‘ track ‘You’re On Your Own, Kid’ during her set.

Nicks has previously thanked Swift for penning the song because it captured how she felt about losing Christine McVie. Last year, she told fans at an Atlanta show the significance of the track, saying: “That is the sadness of how I feel.”

She explained: “As long as Chris was, even on the other side of the world. We didn’t have to talk on the phone, we really weren’t phone buddies. Then we would go back to Fleetwood Mac, and we would walk in and it would be like, ‘Little sister, how are you?’ It was like never a minute had passed, never an argument in our entire 47 years.

“So, when it was the two of us, the two of us were on our own, kids, we always were. And now, I’m having to learn to be on my own, kid, by myself. So, you help me to do that. Thank you.”

Elsewhere in the set, Swift dedicated the live debut of ‘Clara Bow’ to the ‘Rhiannon’ singer.  It marked the first time ‘The Tortured Poets Department’ track had been played live, and Swift dedicated it to her “hero” Nicks in the audience.

“I’ve never played this song live at all,” she said, before explaining: “The reason I want to play this tonight is because a friend of mine is here who is watching the show is one of the reasons why I or any other female artists get to do what I get to do.

“She’s paved the way for us… she’s a hero of mine and also someone I could tell any secret to; she’d never tell anybody. She’s really helped me through so much over the years. I’m talking about Stevie Nicks.”

After leaving Dublin, Swift will spend a two-night stop in Zurich, before touring Italy, Germany, Poland and Austria. She’s then set to return to London to close the European leg of the ‘Eras’ tour.
