He's been on tour, don't you want to spend time with him?

She's been to quite a few of his shows on tour so spending time with him hasn't been much of a problem so far.

On the flip side of that though, this is his literal job, so I can understand if they view it as "work" so she doesn't bother going.

I think that's how they both view it. Award Shows are boring to watch, imagine having to sit through them if you didn't have to.
