Olivia Rodrigo was a guest performer
Rodrigo joined Crow on “If It Makes You Happy,” but she was not inducted in 2023. The Hall’s ceremony materials list Rodrigo among additional performers and guests, separate from the inductees. The Hall’s 2023 announcement distinguishes the class from the guest lineup.
Stevie Nicks and Peter Frampton joined Crow onstage
Nicks joined Crow for “Strong Enough,” and Nicks and Frampton joined them for “Every Day Is a Winding Road.” The Hall identifies Nicks as a Fleetwood Mac member and includes her comments about Crow on its Crow induction page.

Why Crow’s induction mattered
In the Hall’s induction materials, Nicks praised Crow as a personal songwriter, while Hall essayist Holly Gleason highlighted Crow’s ability to move across genres. Those observations help explain why the ceremony’s performance paired Crow with artists from different generations and musical backgrounds. The Hall’s Crow page includes both remarks.
For listeners looking for the studio version of the song Crow and Rodrigo performed together, the Hall connects “If It Makes You Happy” with Crow’s 1996 self-titled album. That album is distinct from any recording of the Rock Hall performance. The Hall’s discography information provides the song association.
