Stevie Nicks Returns to ‘SNL’ After 40 Years With Powerful Women’s Rights Anthem ‘The Lighthouse’
Nicks also performs “Edge of Seventeen,” the classic from her 1981 debut solo album.
Stevie Nicks, whose last Saturday Night Live appearance came in December 1983, returned to the late night show at a critical time to impart a critical message.
Nicks first sang “The Lighthouse,” a call-to-action for women’s rights that she wrote shortly after Roe v. Wade was overturned two summers ago.
“Don’t let them take your power / Don’t leave it alone in the final hours,” she sings. “Don’t close your eyes and hope for the best / The dark is out there, the light is going fast.”
Nicks, although not explicitly endorsing a presidential candidate, recently praised Taylor Swift’s message supporting Vice President Kamala Harris.
Nicks’ second performance was a rousing rendition of “Edge of Seventeen,” one of the standout tracks from her 1981 debut solo album, Bella Donna.
“Edge of Seventeen” is also ranked number 217 on Rolling Stone‘s “Greatest Songs” list.
