\tStevie Nicks is praising Lizzo for her powerful speech at Tuesday’s 2022 People’s Choice Awards.<\/p>\n

\n

\tAfter being presented with the People’s Champion award by her mother, Shari Johnson-Jefferson, Lizzo admitted she’d gone back and forth about accepting the award in the first place, and then gracefully turned the spotlight over to a number of activists, artists and other champions she invited up onstage.<\/p>\n

\n

\tNicks was impressed with the selfless gesture, and she posted her appreciation Wednesday (Dec. 7) on Instagram.<\/p>\n

\n

\t\u201cDearest Lizzo~ In my opinion~ your presentation last night on the People’s Choice Awards was not only so beautiful and so needed~ that you get the award for being a great woman of our time,\u201d the Fleetwood Mac legend wrote in an open letter to the Special singer on Instagram. \u201cI was so impressed and so touched that you put that together and pulled it off. It was stunning~ and everyone heard you. You have given all women soundbites forever~ flute player, singer, songwriter, future politician\u2026? Your name is in the stars now~ Much Love, Stevie Nicks.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

\tAppropriately enough for the People’s Choice Awards, Lizzo turned every acceptance speech over to the people, highlighting an impressive array of activists who are effecting real change every day.<\/p>\n

\n

\t\u201cTo be an icon isn’t about how long you’ve had your platform,\u201d Lizzo said on stage. \u201cBeing an icon is what you do<\/em> with that platform. And ever since the beginning of my career, I’ve used my platform to amplify marginalized voices. So tonight, I am sharing this honor \u2014 make some noise for the people, y’all,\u201d she said before introducing Mary Copeny (ie \u201cLittle Miss Flint\u201d), Beauty 2 the Streetz founder Shirley Raines, Women’s March Foundation president Emiliana Guereca and many more.<\/p>\n

\n

\tJust last week, Nicks penned a poignant handwritten letter to her Fleetwood Mac bandmate Christine McVie after the \u201cSongbird\u201d singer died at age 79.<\/p>\n
