She knows when pics of Tom come up the audience will eat it up. When the Petty tribute during Free Falling was highlighted in multiple reviews as the high point of the show during the 2018-19 Mac tour, it was cringey and embarrassing but the audience just ate it up like she did a 1986 Stand Back twirl!
Yeah it's gross. It's one thing to pull on people's heart strings with the Stevie Lindsey on stage drama schtick...its another to use the death of a friend to do the same.
