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.
