Stevie Nicks Reveals Advice She Gave Katy Perry About 1 Pop Star's 'Internet Armies'

LOADINGERROR LOADINGStevie Nicks is recalling the single-most valuable advice she ever gave Katy Perry.The legendary Fleetwood Mac singer recently sat down for an expansive interview with Rolling Stone and discussed politics, death and the internet.One particular tidbit about modern-day pop star rivalries has already taken social media by storm.“About 10 years ago, Katy Perry was talking to me about the internet armies of all the girl singers, and how cruel and rancid they were,” Nicks told the outlet.“I said, ‘Well, I wouldn’t know because I’m not on the internet.’ She said, ‘So, who are your rivals?’”Advertisement “I just looked at her,” the 76-year-old continued.

“It was my steely look.I said, ’Katy, I don’t have rivals.

I have friends.All the other women singers that I know are friends.

Nobody’s competing.Get off the internet and you won’t have rivals either.”While the iconic songstress certainly knows a thing or two about musical rivalries herself, Nicks became famous long before social media even existed — and hasn’t had to endure them in front of millions like Perry did in her former feud with Taylor Swift.Nicks previously opened up about this chat with Perry in The New Yorker in 2022, and said she advised Perry to “just walk away from that” because “they’re winning” when the “Teenage Dream” singer rued that the “Taylor Swift army” was duking it out with her “Katy army” online.Perry and Swift were publicly friendly with each other in the early days of social media, but whispers of their beef grew stronger as their respective careers flourished, with Swift divulging in 2014 that her song “Bad Blood” was about another female pop star.Advertisement Perry and Swift at the 2010 Grammys, before their since-concluded feud even began.Kevin Mazur/WireImage/Getty Images“For years, I was never sure if we were friends or not,” Swift told Rolling Stone at the time, noting that this mysteri...
