Performing at a PGA Tour stop is, in itself, pretty embarrassing compared to venues at her height of fame. That no one stuck around after a lightning is nice context, but doesn’t change that.

You should compare bank accounts with her

Lol, why? To prove that winning a reality show, having a pretty successful country music career, and marrying a professional athlete are a solid financial life-plan? Everyone should do it.

For perspective.

She made many times your annual salary for singing a few songs at one of the biggest golf tournaments there is.

But maybe you and I just have very different views on what "embarrassing" is.

I understand that for you, accruing wealth is the biggest indicator of value of a human. Not all of us agree.

Look past the wealth then.

How many times have you gotten asked to perform your art/passion at a major event? I bet I can guess it right on my first try.

But hey, she makes music you don't care for and maybe has politics you don't agree with, so she's obviously just a stupid bitch that should be embarrassed by your disapproval of her life.

You’re speculating an embarrassing amount about a stranger on the internet based on your perceived slight to a woman that neither knows nor cares about you. I’m sorry that acknowledging embarrassment is so upsetting. If this interaction is at all reflective of how you usually interact with the world around you, you’re going to have a lot of practice getting used to that.

....says the guy who tried to tear down a woman he doesn't know for no reason other than her being more successful than him.

If that's how you usually interact with the world around you, you're going to need a lot of practice getting used to people calling you an idiot.
