What Nicks was referencing was a 2015 performance of "Gold Dust Woman" (as seen on YouTube) at the Forum, in Inglewood, California. The song first appeared on Fleetwood Mac's 1977 hit album "Rumors" (via Stevie Nicks Info). Written by Nicks, the song is believed to be inspired by drugs, rock 'n' roll, and her breakup with fellow Fleetwood Mac member, Lindsey Buckingham.

Far Out Magazine wrote that Foo Fighters were on their "Sonic Highways" tour when they surprised fans with an appearance and performance by Nicks. She has gone on to say, "We recorded a kick-ass version of 'Gold Dust Woman' (live) and at the end of the song I yelled out 'Best Gold Dust Woman ever' And I meant it" (per Today). Although Nicks never collaborated with Hawkins again, NME reports that her 2020 song "Show Them The Way" featured Dave Grohl on drums.
