It started with a few hundred signatures — and has now become a full-fledged movement of more than 15,000 fans united under one simple message:
“Let Stevie Nicks take the Super Bowl stage.”
The petition, launched just two weeks ago, is calling on the NFL to feature the Fleetwood Mac icon as the next Super Bowl Halftime performer — and the response has been nothing short of electric.

A Nation Still Listening
For millions, Stevie Nicks represents more than music — she’s the embodiment of authenticity, resilience, and artistry.
In an era of elaborate spectacles and lip-synced pop routines, fans say Nicks brings something America hasn’t seen on that stage in years: truth.
“Stevie Nicks isn’t just an artist — she’s a living soul of America,” one fan wrote in the petition comments.
“We don’t need fireworks,” another added. “We just need her voice.”
The sentiment is spreading fast.
Social media has turned the campaign into a digital movement, with hashtags like #StevieForSuperBowl, #RealMusicReturns, and #Landslide2026 trending across platforms.
Why Stevie — and Why Now?
At 76, Nicks is as active and passionate as ever.
Her 2025 world tour continues to sell out arenas, and her performances — often accompanied by emotional tributes to late bandmates Christine McVie and Tom Petty — have drawn rave reviews for their intimacy and power.
“In a time when everything feels artificial, Stevie feels real,” wrote Rolling Stone critic Amanda Lewis. “She doesn’t perform songs — she tells stories.”

That’s what fans want: something timeless, something raw, something American.
Supporters say her music bridges generations like few others can — from 1970s dreamers to Gen Z listeners discovering “Dreams” on TikTok.
The idea of seeing her float across a stadium stage in her iconic shawls, singing “Rhiannon” or “Edge of Seventeen” to millions, feels almost mythic.
“It wouldn’t just be a performance,” said fan Emily Hayes. “It would be a healing moment for this country.”
A Petition That Turned Into a Statement
The campaign began on Change.org, started by fans in Nashville who called themselves “The Landslide Coalition.”
What began as a niche fan request has become a cultural statement — one that has drawn attention from celebrities, journalists, and fellow musicians.
Even pop star Halsey reposted the petition link with the caption:
“If anyone deserves that stage, it’s Stevie.”
Country legend Sheryl Crow chimed in on X:
“Let her do it. Let real music lead the show again.”

The Power of Authenticity
While the Super Bowl Halftime Show has featured legends from Prince to Beyoncé, many fans feel recent years have leaned too heavily on commercial production rather than emotional storytelling.
“We’ve had the fireworks, the lasers, the dancers,” one fan wrote. “Now we want the soul.”
And few embody that more than Stevie Nicks — the poet who turned heartbreak into melody, and aging into art.
Her career, spanning nearly six decades, has produced timeless songs like “Landslide,” “Gypsy,” “Sara,” and “Gold Dust Woman.”
Each one tells a story — not about fame or excess, but about survival, spirit, and self-belief.
“She’s the voice that makes America stop and feel again,” wrote one supporter.
Industry Voices Weigh In
Music insiders say it’s not impossible.
“Stevie has the legacy, the influence, and the cross-generational reach,” said one entertainment executive. “The NFL is always looking for an artist who unites, not divides. She’s perfect for that moment.”

And indeed, the NFL has recently leaned into nostalgia-driven acts — with performers like U2 and Bruce Springsteen reportedly on past shortlists.
“There’s a hunger right now for something real,” said Billboard columnist Daniel King. “Stevie fits that hunger perfectly.”
More Than Music
For many, this campaign isn’t just about who sings at halftime — it’s about what that performance represents.
In a divided world, the call for Stevie Nicks has become a call for authenticity, unity, and emotional honesty.
“She reminds us who we are when the noise fades,” wrote one fan.
Whether or not the NFL responds, the message has already echoed far beyond the petition site.
It’s not about nostalgia — it’s about connection.
It’s not about spectacle — it’s about soul.
And in the words of one viral comment with over 30,000 likes:
“America doesn’t need more fireworks. It needs Stevie Nicks.” 🌙✨
