Stevie Nicks Shows Off Her ‘Rumours’-Era Barbie Doll
Stevie Nicks is a legend, but she reached new levels of legend-dom over the weekend.
Per Rolling Stone, the two-time Rock Hall inductee showed off her new limited edition Barbie doll during her Sunday night (October 1) performance at Madison Square Garden. The doll captures Nicks during the Rumours-era of Fleetwood Mac.
Nicks took to X (formerly Twitter) following the performance to share close-up images of the special edition Barbie. She wrote, in part, about the Barbie, “Of course, I questioned, ‘Would she look like me? Would she have my spirit? Would she have my have my heart…'”
Nicks added, “When I look at her, I see my 27-year-old self. All the memories of walking out on a big stage in that black outfit and those gorgeous boots come rushing back.”

My Stevie @Barbie has been with me now for several months. When Mattel came to me asking if I would like to have a Barbie made in the “Rumours” cover style I was very overwhelmed. Of course I questioned “would she look like me? Would she have my spirit? Would she have my heart…”… pic.twitter.com/JQXjF7XSMK

Fleetwood Mac's 'Rumours': 30 Facts About the Iconic Album
Rumours, the landmark album from Fleetwood Mac, is an absolute monster, both critically and commercially.
There are countless breakup songs across the musical landscape, but Rumours — released on February 4, 1977 — is much more than that; it’s a breakup album that happens to be dripping with the band’s coked-out excess. The making of Rumours, of course, is famous for everyone in the band breaking up with each other and its other “indulgences.” (AKA: So much cocaine it would make Tony Montana blush.)
Truthfully, personal lives absolutely falling apart have never sounded so catty and catchy at once as they do on Rumours. Between the divorce filing of John McVie and Christine McVie, the breakup of Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham (and Nicks’ eventual “shacking up” with Mick Fleetwood) and Mick Fleetwood’s own marriage on the rocks after his wife had an affair, the band weren’t exactly hurting for material.
In short, Rumours is the ultimate cheating/break-up record. In honor of its anniversary, here are 30 facts about the iconic album.
