Stevie Nicks Gets Her Own Barbie Doll: ‘This Little Person Makes Me Happy’

Rock star Stevie Nicks, 75, recently had a Barbie doll created in her likeness, dressed in her iconic Rumours album cover outfit, from Fleetwood Mac’s 1977 hit album.

Nicks announced the launch of her own Barbie on October 1 at her show in Madison Square Garden. Before her performance, Nicks shared how she was sucked into the world of Barbie months before everyone else.

“I have been living in my own Barbie Universe since March,” she told Today. “And I can honestly say that this little person makes me happy. And that’s the thing I love about her the most. I can be in the worst, worst mood, and I walk in and see her – she’s like my happy pill. I instantly feel better. I have so many reasons to love her.”

Nicks was approached in March by Mattel, curious if she’d be interested in a Barbie doll of herself in her famous black dress and boots from the album cover.

Nicks told Mattel: “I’ll go into my vault and I will find the original ‘Rumours’ outfit and I will send it to you.”

A few months later, she received the prototype in the mail. She requested her Barbie have a slightly rounder face and more dramatic eye makeup, and she received Mattel’s second try in June.

Nicks said as soon as she saw the doll, she knew it was perfect.

“I have probably taken, I don’t know, 500,000 pictures of her,” Nicks laughed. “It’s like seeing my younger self. She brings back memories that I had forgotten. When I look at her I think of stuff that has gone out of my mind.”

Nicks expanded that at heart, her songs are poems, which is why she thinks people have connected with them so much, and has helped younger artists better articulate themselves. Nicks speculated that her music influences other artists such as Taylor Swift.

“I never don’t tell the truth. And I think that’s something that if Taylor Swift, who is my friend, if Taylor got anything from me, that’s what she got,” she said. “I don’t ever lie in my songs — if you broke up with me, I don’t put I broke up with you. I tell the truth, always.”

Nicks is currently on tour across the globe for her Stevie Nicks: Live in Concert show.

“I always was a person who said, ‘I’m never going to make a comeback because I’m never going to go away,’” she said.

Nicks noted she will likely tour for another four to five years before she rents her dream castle in Scotland. She added that she has a secret book of poems that never became songs, which she will “someday release.”

Mattel has begun to create a Music Series Barbie, with iconic musical artists represented in doll form. Artists like Elton John, David Bowie, Gloria Estefan and Tina Turner, have all been commemorated in Barbie doll form.
