There is no such thing as a "Neil and Stevie dynamic" and yet there she goes... desperately trying to act as if he shares even a modicum of history with her by singing at him. Pathetic. And I can understand why Neil might have a hard time singing passionately when he's performing a song that doesn't relate to him in any way.

Do you really think that she was trying to pretend something or to fool anyone? She had a big smile on her face for most of the song so it hardly seems realistic that she was attempting to act out some kind of on-stage drama, as she would have with Lindsey. To me, it looked a lot more like she was being playful in order to loosen up a new band member in their first public performance.
Although, when they cut to a wide shot of the band, it looks even slightly more like she's actually pointing at Christine.
Of course, people have their beliefs about what happened within Fleetwood Mac, and so there are those who will interpret anything that happens on stage as SN gloating or being otherwise terrible in some way.
For the record, I thought it was a pretty lame performance overall, with the exception of a couple of notes in Mike Campbell's guitar solo.
