I'll never understand why famous people go to warzones
In this case I don't think they're given much of a choice

What would you have expected to happen if she had refused to go? We're talking about Russia, not an American band going to Iraq to do show for the troops...
No reason to assume that and not that she bought into the propaganda like most of Russia unless there is something suggesting that she was forced. It isn't like there aren't a plethora of entertainers ready to lick Putin's boot.

Fun semi-related fact: Even in nazi Germany during the war, refusing to work in a concentration camp didn't lead to any punishment.
People did it willingly when they were assigned, cause it was a well-paid job that didn't carry much risk, and refusing might be detrimental to their career.
After the war of course, they claimed that it was a choice between "go to the camp as a warden or go to the camp as prisoner", but that's been proven to be wrong in all cases.
