Stevie Nicks is commending Lizzo for using her platform for good.

The "Edge of Seventeen" singer, 74, shared a note addressed to "dearest" Lizzo on Twitter Wednesday, praising her for how she handled her big win at the 2022 People's Choice Awards on Tuesday night.

After receiving the People's Champion Award, the "About Damn Time" singer, 34, brought 17 activists to the stage with her, telling the crowd that being an icon wasn't about "how long you've had your platform," but about "what you do with that platform."

"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," Nicks wrote. "I was so impressed and so touched that you put that together and pulled it off."

The Fleetwood Mac rocker went on to praise Lizzo's many talents, and told the Grammy winner that her "name is in the stars now."

"It was stunning~ and everyone heard you," Nicks wrote of Lizzo's stage time. "You have given all women soundbites forever~ flute player, singer, songwriter, future politician…?"

She signed her note "much love." Nicks — who recently announced a set of co-headlining shows with Billy Joel — has been known to champion younger stars, including Harry Styles, Lorde and Miley Cyrus, with whom she collaborated in 2020.

Lizzo, who released her most recent album Special in July, was recognized for her "groundbreaking contributions to music and television, as well as her commitment to championing overall diversity and inclusivity across race, gender, sexuality, and size," according to a November press release announcing the honor.
