The 75-year-old presented her "Stevie Barbie" doll to fans at her show at Madison Square Garden in New York City on Sunday.
Mattel announced on Monday that they have created a Barbie doll to celebrate Stevie Nicks' 75th birthday, paying tribute to her iconic style. Nicks' birthday took place in May.

In a recent post on X (previously known as Twitter), Nicks expressed her admiration for her Stevie Barbie doll. She described the doll as "beautiful, authentic, and utterly captivating," emphasizing its significant presence in her life over the past few months. Nicks expressed the immense value and sentiment this doll holds for her.
"When Mattel approached me with the offer to create a Barbie in the style of my Rumours cover, I was completely overwhelmed," she expressed. "Naturally, I had my doubts. Would the Barbie truly resemble me? Would she encapsulate my essence and embody my passion?"
"As I gaze upon her, I am transported back to my younger self at 27~ all the cherished memories of strutting onto that grand stage in my striking black ensemble and those stunning boots come flooding back~ and then, I see a reflection of my present self in her face. The shared experiences and hardships we have endured together since 1975~ the battles we have fought and the invaluable lessons we have learned~ bind us as one. I am her and she is me. She undeniably possesses my heart," she concluded.
