“We could open for Stevie Nicks,” said Keough, 34, as she accepted her IMDb “Fan Favorite” STARmeter Award at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival on Saturday, January 20. “That would be cool. I could ask her!”
IMDb's STARmeter Awards honor stars who have been popular on the STARmeter chart over the past year. The ranking is determined by the number of page views the celebrity receives each month.
“Thank you to the fans for making me a fan favorite, and thank you to the STARmeter for existing so I could get this award,” Keough said. “It's very special because IMDb… I mean, as far as I can remember, everyone checks IMDb. And it's very important when you're a young actor. I don't know, it's just such a part of the culture, so very special!”
Keough also said it was a “really big challenge” for her to star in Daisy Jones & The Six because she “had to acquire a lot of skills.”
“I think the fact that I was able to play music and sing and go on stage and be confident in something that I had never done before, and get to that point, was really special to me,” she said. “I am proud that we were able to perform live together.”

“Just watched Daisy Jones + the 6 for the second time,” Nicks wrote via Instagram. “It wasn't really my story at first, but Riley seamlessly became my story. It brought back memories that made me feel like a ghost looking at my own story.”
Nicks went on to wish her bandmate: Christine McVie, “could have seen the show”. (McVie died in November 2022 at the age of 79.)
“She would have loved it,” Nicks wrote. “Hopefully it continues…”
Ahead of the Emmys earlier this month, Keough revealed that she and her co-stars – including Sam Claflin, Suki Waterhouse And Camila Morrone – were to perform at a live concert last summer. The set was canceled due to the SAG-AFTRA strike.
