Nancy Sinatra recently opened up about how Fleetwood Mac’s Stevie Nicks once gave her the “cold shoulder.” According to NME.com, she says that she thought other female artists “sort of looked down” on her in the ’60s and ’70s. โI donโt think they knew what to make of me and my so-called career,โ Nancy says.
โThey shunned me a little bit, which I found hurtful. And I didnโt quite understand why they did.โ She adds that she โwasnโt really allowedโ to join the group of musicians like Joan Baez, Helen Reddy, and Nicks, who were all very big in the folk music scene at the time.

Nancy specifically notes an event held at the White House during Bill Clintonโs presidency (1993-2001) where she met Sheryl Crow and Nicks. โI metย Sheryl Crow and Stevie Nicks, and they gave me a cold shoulder. That was painful for me. Itโs like they didnโt want to be friends.”

She continues โI tried to make an effort to shake hands, โSo nice to meet youโ kind of thing, but they werenโt interested… I donโt want to put words in their mouths. But yeah, I think there was definitely some of that. I felt like an interloper.โ
