Stevie is extremely smart. Glee was selling records at the time and getting your music on that show is prestigious.

They wanted to do Landslide and at the same time already had the idea of doing a Rumours tribute episode so they asked for the rights to the entire Mac catalogue, which was then cleared. Stevie visiting the set came a few months later as they write and clear these episodes months in advance. By the time Stevie visited the set, it was well established in the Glee fandom that a Mac tribute episode was being prepped as spoilers leak for that show like you wouldn't believe. Again, she had nothing to do with the decision other than saying yes. Just because she's a major ass kisser is not the reason a tribute episode was created. I'm assuming you've never watched Glee other than those two episodes (or one) because every guest they have does those gushing, ass-kissing bts interviews. It's nothing new, even Britney Spears did it.
As I said, Glee goes to the stars for permission, not the other way around.
