The Eras tour party doesn’t end when Taylor Swift exits the stage. This weekend, after performing three back-to-back sold-out shows at Aviva Stadium in Dublin, Ireland, the musician kept the night going during a bar outing with Paramore and Stevie Nicks. Her boyfriend Travis Kelce also joined the crew of artists as they stopped in at Hacienda Bar.

“Great to welcome Taylor Swift with all her musicians and dancers to the Hacienda last night. Special to also welcome Superbowl champion Travis Kelce, the legendary Stevie Nicks and Paramore,” the local bar wrote on Facebook on Monday. “It was such a warm and genuinely friendly night, we did not request our ‘usual’ Hacienda photo so as to allow Taylor and friends the chance to properly relax and enjoy their well-deserved time off.”
On Sunday, Nicks could be seen wiping her tears while Swift performed “You’re on Your Own, Kid,” a deep cut from Midnights . Last year, the legendary musician revealed that the song had brought her comfort and understanding following the deal of Fleetwood Mac’s Christine McVie.
“Thank you to Taylor Swift for doing this thing for me, and that is writing a song called ‘You’re On Your Own, Kid,’” Nicks said during a performance in Atlanta. “That is the sadness of how I feel. 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.”
Taylor Swift Dedicates Live Debut of 'Clara Bow' to Stevie Nicks
Swift has found comfort in Nicks, as well, not just as an artist but as a friend. On her latest album, The Tortured Poets Department , she name-drops the musician on “Clara Bow,” singing: “You look like Stevie Nicks/ In ’75, the hair and lips/ Crowd goes wild at her fingertips/ Half moonshine, a full eclipse.”
Sunday’s concert fittingly saw the live debut of “Clara Bow” — mashed up with “The Lucky One” — with a special dedication to Nicks.
“The reason I want to play this tonight is because a friend of mine is here who’s watching the show and who has been one of the reasons why I, or any female artist, get to do what we get to do,” Swift told the audience during the surprise song portion of the set. “She’s become friends with so many female artists just to be a guiding hand. I can’t tell you how rare that is. She’s a hero of mine and also someone that I can tell any secret about, and she’d never tell anybody. She’s really helped me through so much over the years. I’m talking about Stevie Nicks!”
