Taylor Swift enjoys night out with Stevie Nicks and Paramore at Dublin bar
Taylor Swift enjoyed a night out with Stevie Nicks and Paramore in Dublin after wrapping up her three-show run in the city.
The trio along with Travis Kelce showed up at the Hacienda Bar in the capital after Swift performed her final night at the Aviva Stadium as part of her ongoing ‘Eras’ tour, on Sunday (June 30).
“Great to welcome Taylor Swift with all her musicians and dancers to the Hacienda last night,” the bar staff wrote on Facebook. “Special to also welcome Superbowl champion Travis Kelce, the legendary Stevie Nicks and Paramore.”
Olivia Rodrigo and Ed Sheeran have previously dropped in on the bar.

That same night Nicks was seen looking visibly emotional at Swift’s concert after she performed ‘Midnights‘ track ‘You’re On Your Own, Kid’.
The Fleetwood Mac frontwoman previously thanked the singer-songwriter for penning the song because it captured how she felt about losing Christine McVie.
Last year, she told fans at an Atlanta show the significance of the track, saying: “That is the sadness of how I feel. As long as Chris was, even on the other side of the world. We didn’t have to talk on the phone, we really weren’t phone buddies. Then we would go back to Fleetwood Mac, and we would walk in and it would be like, ‘Little sister, how are you?’ It was like never a minute had passed, never an argument in our entire 47 years.
“So, when it was the two of us, the two of us were on our own, kids, we always were. And now, I’m having to learn to be on my own, kid, by myself. So, you help me to do that. Thank you.”
Elsewhere in the set, Swift dedicated the live debut of ‘Clara Bow’ to the singer. It marked the first time ‘The Tortured Poets Department’ track had been played live.
“I’ve never played this song live at all,” she said, before explaining: “The reason I want to play this tonight is because a friend of mine is here who is watching the show is one of the reasons why I or any other female artists get to do what I get to do.
“She’s paved the way for us… she’s a hero of mine and also someone I could tell any secret to; she’d never tell anybody. She’s really helped me through so much over the years. I’m talking about Stevie Nicks.”
Nicks is set to play a solo headline set at London’s BST Hyde Park 2024 on Friday, July 12, with support coming from Brandi Carlile, Anna Calvi and Paris Paloma.
