In one of the verses Swift sings: “You look like Stevie Nicks/ In ’75, the hair and lips/ Crowd goes wild at her fingertips/ Half moonshine, a full eclipse.”

Some of the lines read: “He was in love with her/ Or at least she thought so/ She was broken hearted/ Maybe he was too/ Neither of them knew”.

Nicks has spoken about Swift’s songwriting on numerous occasions in the past and even performed with her at the 52nd Annual GRAMMY Awards in 2010.
