Stevie Nicks recalls talk with Katy Perry about not using the internet
The whole world is connected to the internet these days and we don’t even think that much of how life was before all of it. But there are many people who prefer to stay offline, at least in terms of social media. Stevie Nicks is one of them and in an interview with Rolling Stone, she recalled how the pop star Katy Perry was impressed when she said she wasn’t on social media and didn’t have any rivals.

Stevie Nicks recalls talk with Katy Perry about not using the internet
She was asked if there was internet on her Iphone and Nicks said: It isn’t connected, it’s just a camera. I hate it. About 10 years ago, Katy Perry was talking to me about the internet armies of all the girl singers, and how cruel and rancid they were.”
“I said, ‘Well, I wouldn’t know because I’m not on the internet.’ She said, ‘So, who are your rivals?’ I just looked at her. It was my steely look. I said, ‘Katy, I don’t have rivals. I have friends. All the other women singers that I know are friends. Nobody’s competing. Get off the internet and you won’t have rivals either’.”
Then she continued reflecting on how it would be for Fleetwood Mac if there was internet since the 70s.
“It would’ve been terrible. We never had terrible paparazzi. Our fans always really honored us and treated us with care. Nobody chased us down. It was all fun, it was never terrorizing, was never stalking. It was never weird. I couldn’t live like that.”
Fleetwood Mac’s final show happened back in 2019 and since then Stevie is focused on her solo career.
