There are Swifties – and then there are die-hard Taylor Swift fans. Comedian Nikki Glaser is proud to fall into the latter category.
A huge Swift fan, Glaser revealed she spent “nearly $100,000” to attend Swift’s 22 Eras Tour shows over the past two years. She called the investment “totally worth it” and added: “I could have paid even more.”
“I want to clarify that we are including travel, hotel, plane and lodging costs for the people I invited, along with tickets and merchandise,” Glaser said. Everybody.
Looking back at the tour’s ticket sales milestone of 2,077,618,725 USD, as reported by New York Times“I love that it comes down to the dollar, and I can see my own money in that number and say, ‘Yeah, there it is,'” Glaser joked.
“I justify the expense because I don’t have kids and it’s something I consciously decided not to do and it’s something I struggle with,” Glaser said.
“It wasn’t the easiest decision. There was a part of me that thought, ‘I’d love to have kids,’ but it just didn’t fit into my life. And so for me to feel better about the decision , I looked up how much it costs to raise a child, and when I saw that number, I thought, ‘It wouldn’t be a problem if I spent this money on Taylor Swift,'” she shared. .
In response to criticism of his money-making moves, Glaser countered the negativity: “People who say bad things about you are just jealous. No one is ashamed of having children and says, ‘Oh, what a waste of money. Oh, you’re showing off your wealth.’ But somehow, when I went to see 22 Taylor Swift shows, I thought, ‘You’re so privileged. How dare you spend that amount of money’.”
“And it’s like, ‘Should I invite you? I don’t know you, ma’am.’ That makes me very confused. If I don’t buy the $6,000 ticket, some trust fund guy or some hedge fund manager will buy it for his niece,” Glaser quipped. .
“I wish the world were more fair,” she added. “I wish it was a lottery. I really wish it was.”
This isn’t Glaser’s first public connection to Swift. In 2020, she issued an apology on Instagram for past comments about the singer featured in Swift’s documentary Miss America.
“Unfortunately, I appear in her new documentary as part of a montage of assholes saying mean things about her, used to explain why she feels need to get out of the spotlight for a year. It’s crazy ironic because anyone who knows me knows I’m obnoxiously obsessed with her and her music,” she wrote in the caption.
“I really didn’t need to post this other than to apologize to someone who truly means A LOT to me. I just received a few death threats from Swift’s crazy fans, which I Me too, I completely understand. So while I’m going to consider ‘dying in a hole, you bastard’, I just hope this somehow gets to her. to let her know that I’m sorry for any pain I’ve been through cause for her and that I want to be her friend one day (when I start modeling) and tell her how valuable her music has been in influencing her life. my life and my comedy,” Glaser added.
In the trailer, Glaser is heard criticizing Swift’s body and her choice of friends.
“That audio is from an interview I did five years ago and I said in such an obscene tone, ‘she’s too skinny; that bothers me… all you guys her model, and it was like, c’mon!'” Glaser said.
Swift graciously responded: “Wow. I really appreciate this and one of the main themes of this document is that we have the ability to change our perspectives over time, to grow and learn about myself. I’m sorry to hear that.” You’ve been struggling with some of the same things I’ve been struggling with. Sending a big hug.”
Swift opens up about her battle with an eating disorder Miss Americasaid: “I thought I was supposed to feel like I was going to pass out at the end of the show or in the middle of the show. Now, I realize, no, if you eat, have energy, get stronger, You can do all these programs without feeling [weak].”
After finishing the tour on December 8 in Canada, Everybody confirmed that Swift distributed $197 million in prize money to her touring crew. From truck drivers and caterers to dancers, band members and lighting technicians, the prize money is a generous recognition of the countless individuals who have made the Eras Tour an unmatched success. compare.
