In January 2025, the White Stripes were nominated a second time for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Andy Greene of Rolling Stone remarked that the chances of a reunion were slim due to Meg retreating from the music industry and media, and wrote, “Let’s hope that Meg at least watches the Disney+ livestream and smiles when the White Stripes are inducted. Great moments don’t always need to play out in public. And Meg White doesn’t owe us anything.” In November of that same year, they were inducted by Iggy Pop into the hall of fame. Meg declined to attend the ceremony; Jack accepted the award for the band and gave a speech written by him and Meg. He said, “she said she’s very sorry she couldn’t make it tonight, but she’s very grateful for the folks who have supported her throughout all the years, it really means a lot to her tonight.” He also read a poem dedicated to her.
