Nikki Glaser has attended Taylor Swift’s tour 17 times in 15 months.
Do you think you’re a dedicated Taylor Swift fan? Well, stand-up comedian Nikki Glaser might just have you beat. She recently shared on Jimmy Kimmel Live! that she has attended Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour a whopping 17 times in the past 15 months. And here’s the kicker – she’s never taken a bathroom break during any of those shows!
Glaser, fresh off a trip to Europe where she caught another Eras show, revealed that she schedules her weekends off from her own tour to fly to wherever Swift is performing. She humorously compared herself to a divorced dad trying to spend time with his daughter, even though Swift probably has no idea who she is. Glaser admitted that she’s not sure if Swift knows of her existence, but she certainly talks about her idol enough to make an impression.
Kumail Nanjiani, the guest host, chimed in with his own Swiftie credentials, having attended the tour once. He joked about Glaser’s dedication, holding up a picture of himself at a show sporting multiple friendship bracelets. Glaser acknowledged her addiction to the concerts, describing the rush of dopamine she gets from them. She playfully mentioned that attending Taylor Swift shows is her alternative to cocaine, a choice she can fortunately afford.
At 40 years old, Glaser recognizes that her 17-show count is excessive. She initially planned to attend only a couple of shows when the tour was announced but was encouraged by her boyfriend to go to as many as possible due to her hard work and genuine love for Taylor Swift. Despite the hours-long performances, Glaser proudly claims to have never once used the bathroom during any of the concerts, syncing her body’s rhythm with the length of the shows.
When asked if she plans to slow down her attendance, Glaser confidently stated that she intends to see even more Eras Tour shows. She views Swift’s performances as a rare opportunity to witness one of the greatest performers of all time, comparing it to seeing the Beatles in their prime. Glaser’s dedication to Swift even extended to taking her dad to a show in Europe, where he was visibly moved to tears.
Nanjiani lightheartedly teased Glaser for the time she’s spent at the concerts, suggesting alternative activities she could have pursued instead. But for Glaser, nothing compares to the joy and happiness she experiences at a Taylor Swift show. Her unwavering admiration for Swift’s talent and performance prowess keeps her coming back for more, making it the highlight of her life.
