Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham cryptically post lyrics, prompting landslide of reactions from fans
Hope (silver) springs eternal. Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham posted matching excerpts from their 1973 song 'Frozen Love' on Thursday, prompting speculation among fans that something more may be coming. Nicks, who is scheduled to begin a solo U.S. tour in August, shared on X a white background image with black cursive text that read, 'And if you go forward …' About an hour later, Buckingham posted the lyric's second half: 'I'll meet you there.' The lyric is the final line of 'Frozen Love,' a track from 'Buckingham Nicks,' the only album the two released as a duo before joining Fleetwood Mac in 1975. Nicks and Buckingham — and more pointedly their tumultuous personal relationship — remain a pop culture symbol of intense romance followed by even more intense heartbreak, fueled in part by a live performance of 'Silver Springs' that has remained a fixture online. The pair had a complicated personal and professional history — both as former romantic partners and as bandmates. Their arrival in Fleetwood Mac in the 1970s helped usher the band's most commercially successful era, but Buckingham was dismissed from the band in 2018, and the pair have not performed together since. The apparently coordinated nature of the posts, which came just one day after Mick Fleetwood shared an Instagram video of himself listening to 'Frozen Love,' raised questions about whether the former bandmates might be planning something together. In the video, Fleetwood removes his headphones and calls the song 'unbelievable.' 'The marriage of Stevie and Lindsey, the marriage of coming into Fleetwood Mac when they did, it's all in this song,' he said. 'It was magic then, it's magic now.' Buckingham and Nicks both liked Fleetwood's post and recently began following each other on Instagram — a change noticed by fans who flooded the comments of both musicians' posts asking if a reunion was in the works. As of Thursday afternoon, neither Nicks nor Buckingham had commented further on the posts. Nicks confirmed that singer and keyboardist Christine McVie's death in 2019 meant the end of Fleetwood Mac.

March 28 is International Women in Music Day — here are the icons our editors think you should stream
Happy International Women in Music Day! To celebrate this holiday, you'll want to fire up Spotify, Pandora, Apple Music – or wherever you get your tunes these days, because we're honoring the remarkable contributions of women in the music industry. The history of International Women in Music Day This female-centric holiday was first established in 2008, and sought to spotlight the achievements of female artists, composers, and producers who have shaped the musical landscape. It gives us an opportunity to appreciate and support female musicians – across genres and eras. How to celebrate International Women in Music Day If you need a few ideas, here are some ways to celebrate: this unique holiday. Curate a ladies-first playlist of your faves. Start the day with the artists, genres, and eras that you already know you love. Dig up an old favorite from college, or even high school, or stream that current pop hit that's stuck in your head all day. (If it's 'That's So True' by Gracie Abrams, you're not alone.) Discover a new favorite artist. Dig into a genre or time period that you're not familiar with, and try to find something new that you like. Take it a step further and share their work with your family and friends. Support an emerging or established artist in person. Attend a live performance at a venue in your local neighborhood. Not only will you be supporting the artist, you'll also be supporting local businesses in your community. Our editors' picks: Iconic female artists for Women in Music Day To commemorate this day, we compiled a list of our editors' favorite artists – these are musicians who we feel have made significant impacts in the industry, and who have brought excitement, joy, and inspiration to our personal lives. Stevie Nicks, selected by Melissa The mystical frontwoman of Fleetwood Mac and a powerhouse solo artist, Stevie Nicks is probably top of mind for many when the topic of women in music comes up. And rightfully so — Nicks is an icon who leverages her raspy voice against a backdrop of rock and poetry. Take that and combine it with her ethereal personal style and witchy stage presence, and Nicks is somehow not just a singer — she's a whole vibe. Top song pick: 'Silver Springs' (which Nicks says is 'probably the best song I've ever written') Lady Gaga, selected by Mark Nobody does reinvention quite like Lady Gaga — from her early days as an electropop icon, to her interlude in jazz, to her Oscar-winning acting turn. She nails every metamorphosis, and her genre-defying turns and bold fashion sense (remember the meat dress?) have turned her into a cultural force. Top song pick: 'How Bad Do U Want Me' (from her newest album, Mayhem, which she's currently getting sued over by a surf company) Neko Case, selected by Jerry If this is your first exposure to Neko Case, we're kind of jealous — because you're about to discover one of the most powerful voices in music. Her vocals are like a force of nature: raw, unflinching, and utterly captivating. She blends elements of alt-country, indie rock, and folk into something entirely her own, pairing evocative melodies with poetic, often haunting lyrics that linger long after the song ends. And if you fall in love with her solo work (you will), there's more: Neko is also a longtime member of supergroup The New Pornographers, meaning there's an entire second discography of Neko-sprinkled fun waiting for you. She's one of the most underrated storytellers in music — and a true master of mood. Top Song Pick: 'People Got a Lot of Nerve' Beyoncé, selected by Tracey Yes, this is obvious, but you cannot talk about iconic and music and leave out Queen B.! Beyoncé is a once-in-a-lifetime artist; she has redefined what it means to be a performer, blending choreography and unmatched vocals. With Lemonade and Renaissance, she proved that music can be both personal and revolutionary. Top Song Pick: 'Get Me Bodied' Taylor Swift, selected by Meredith Did you think... we were going to make a whole list and leave Taylor Swift off it? Don't worry; we would obviously never. While she has her detractors, there's no denying that Taylor Swift has gone from country darling to global pop phenomenon to indie-folk storyteller to global touring phenomenon ... she has dominated every genre and arena she's dipped her talented toes into. Her ability to reinvent herself each era while never missing with her razor-sharp lyrics has earned her critical acclaim and a fiercely loyal fanbase. Top Song Pick: 'Cowboy Like Me' (which is also a favorite track of Swift's boyfriend, Travis Kelce) Which artists did we miss?
