Stevie Nicks appeared to get her boy bands mixed up Friday night after referring to One Direction singer Harry Styles as a member of NSYNC at a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony.

Nicks, 70, was at the Barclays Center in New York celebrating becoming the first woman to join 22 men, including all four members of the Beatles, to have been honored twice by the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for the different stages of their careers.

Nicks did a four-song set, during which she was joined on stage by Styles, who filled in for the late Tom Petty on “Stop Draggin’ My Heart Around.” Styles also introduced the rock legend before she addressed the audience.

Backstage at the ceremony, Nicks spoke about the One Direction singer and how they met.

“Well, we met quite a long time ago actually,” Nicks said of Styles.

“What I really loved about Harry was that when he decided to make a solo record from NSYNC,” Nicks trailed off as the reporters laughed at her reference.

Realizing her mistake, the “Dreams” singer apologized.

“He just fits in with all of us. He loves our music and he loves the whole ‘70s and ‘80s and ‘90s music he has been doing all this time,” Nicks said of Styles.
