Stevie Nicks on Rivalries in Music Industry

Stevie Nicks recently recounted advice she gave Katy Perry about a decade ago regarding online rivalries among female pop singers, stemming from a conversation about internet 'armies' and the negativity they generated. Nicks, who avoids social media, told Perry she doesn't have rivals, only friends, and advised her to disconnect from the internet to avoid unnecessary competition. This conversation resurfaced amid ongoing critiques of Perry's latest album and her past feud with Taylor Swift, which began over professional disagreements and inspired Swift's 2014 song 'Bad Blood'. The feud between Perry and Swift has since been resolved, with Perry extending an olive branch in 2018. Nicks' comments have sparked renewed interest, highlighting the toxic impact of internet rivalries and the value of focusing on friendships over competition in the music industry.
