Taylor Swift played Clara Bow for the very first time and dedicated the track to her ‘hero’ Stevie Nicks at her third and final Dublin Eras Tour gig.

The Fleetwood Mac legend, 76, was among the A-listers who attended Taylor’s star-studded Dublin show on Sunday.

And to celebrate, Taylor sang Clara Bow – which has a verse dedicated to Stevie – for the first time as the surprise song.

The Fearless hitmaker, 34, made a speech ahead of her performance paying tribute to her ‘hero’ Stevie, who she praised for being a trailblazing female artist.

‘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,’ Taylor said. ‘

‘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 and she’d never tell anybody. She’s really helped me through so much over the years. I’m talking about Stevie Nicks!’

Stevie could be seen in the VIP section wearing a face mask, as she was spotted recording the entirety of Taylor’s touching tribute.

Taylor’s third and final concert in Dublin proved to be as star-studded as the shows in days past, with Julia Roberts among the big names in attendance.

The singer took to the stage for the latest stop on her Eras Tour, with many eagle-eyed fans spotting the VIP guests at the Aviva Stadium.

Julia was in high spirits as she chatted to fans inside the venue, with the Oscar winner aptly sporting a range of friendship bracelets for the concert.

Meanwhile Bridgerton star Florence Hunt was also seen chatting to Swifties in attendance.

During her second Dublin show the previous evening, Taylor sent fans into a frenzy by confirmed that her lockdown album Folklore was inspired by the ‘storytelling’ of Ireland.

Taylor released her eighth album back in July 2020, and during her latest concern she told the crowd she first started writing songs for Folklore just two days into the Covid lockdown.

‘Folklore in general, it just belongs to Ireland,’ she said, adding: How I imagined the album world looking [was like] Ireland. Storytelling with lots of different characters. You guys have that on lock, too. That’s very Irish, the storytelling.’

‘I had to create an album where the imaginary world that I pretended to go to every single day while I was writing it… I gotta be honest, kinda seemed like Ireland.’

‘So we’re back to where we belong. Folklore belongs with you guys!’

The moment, which sparked huge cheers from her Irish fans in attendance, was captured by a spectator at the Aviva Stadium.

Taylor has also shown her love for the Emerald Isle by donning not one but two green ensembles for different eras in the show.

Her first tribute look was a forest green cape dress adorned with leaves and a cut-out at her abdomen – which she changed into for Folklore.

Later in the show, for her 1989 era, Taylor again sported the country’s colours as she wore bejewelled orange bralet and ombre green skirt.

The surprise looks delighted fans, especially her Irish followers.

‘Green Folklore outfit for Ireland slay Taylor’ and ‘Folklore is so Ireland coded’.

‘She did green ahhh,’; ‘Ireland is such a Folklore country’.
