Nikki Glaser is a Taylor Swift superfan, and she’s now revealing how much money she spent seeing 22 Eras Tour performances!
The 40-year-old comedian – who is gearing up to host the 2025 Golden Globes next month – said she spent “close to $100,000,” but did clarify one thing.

“I want to be clear that we’re including travel expenses, hotels, and me also flying and putting up everyone that I would invite to go with me, plus tickets, plus merch,” Nikki shared with People, clarifying that it wasn’t $100,000 on tickets alone.
She shared it was “all well worth it,” saying, “I would’ve paid even more.”
“I justify that cost because I don’t have kids, and it’s something that I consciously decided not to do, and it was something that I struggled with,” Nikki added. “It wasn’t the easiest decision. There was a part of me that was like, ‘I would like kids,’ but it just doesn’t fit in my life. And so in order for me to make myself feel better about the decision, I did look up how much it cost to raise a kid. And so once I saw that number, I thought, ‘It’s no problem for me to spend this on Taylor Swift.’”
About any backlash she’s received, she said, “People who give you crap about it, they are just jealous. And I understand, I get jealous of people all the time. But it’s like… No one ever shames anyone for having kids and says, ‘Oh, what a waste of money. Oh, you’re flaunting your wealth.’ But for some reason, when I go to 22 Taylor Swift shows, it’s like, ‘You’re so privileged. How dare you spend that money.’”
“And it’s like, ‘Was I supposed to invite you? I don’t know you, ma’am.’ It’s very confusing to me. If I didn’t buy the $6,000 ticket, some other trust fund guy or some kind of hedge fund manager would’ve bought it for his niece. I wish the world were more fair. I wish it was a lottery. I really do,” Nikki added.
