She said she went and got on a bus with Tom and the Heartbreakers, becoming part of their band. She went on tour with them and had the time of her life, "let your imagination take that any way it likes," she kidded. Then she said, "Now I want to introduce you to a real heartbreaker, Mike Campbell!" He was definitely not who the audience was expecting.
I didn't know who Peter was either. She probably doesn't know his last name because she was just like, "oh and there's Peter," when he walked on stage with Dave.

The thing is, Tom Petty had no involvement with her new album, so why would he be there? It makes perfect sense that Mike Campbell, who has been the larger contributer/current figure in her work/career, would be the logical Heartbreaker to appear. The speculation about Tom was generated by hapless fans/social media. Stevie wasn't faking anyone.
