On Sunday, Stevie Nicks performed at the legendary Madison Square Garden Arena in New York.
After performing “Bella Donna,” Stevie debuted a new Barbie doll that Mattel had created in her likeness. The doll, fashioned after Stevie’s flowy black chiffon look on Fleetwood Mac’s 1977 Rumours album cover, displayed on the large monitor at the back of the stage for everyone to see. Stevie gifted the special doll to fan in the front row who happened to be named…Sara! When Stevie walked back to the mic, she gave a most fabulous impromptu acapella rendition of the classic “Sara” from Fleetwood Mac’s Tusk. “She said, Sara… You’re the poet in my heart / Never change / Never stop.” Then Stevie paused and told her, “You have your very first Barbie, Sara. I hope you enjoy her as much as me.”
