Swifties come in all forms, and one such die-hard fan is Nikki Glaser. This comedian and devoted Taylor Swift enthusiast has gone to great lengths to attend 22 of Swift's Eras Tour shows over the past two years. Her spending on this journey is truly remarkable.

Unraveling Nikki Glaser's Taylor Swift Fanaticism

Section 1: The Initial Spending

Nikki Glaser, at 40 years old, estimates that she has spent "close to $100,000" on these tour shows. This includes not only the ticket prices but also travel expenses, hotel accommodations, and inviting others along. It's a significant investment that she believes is all worth it. As she tells PEOPLE, "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." This shows her dedication and passion for the artist.When she was a guest on The Kelly Clarkson Show in October 2023, she revealed that at that point, she had already spent $25,000 on nine shows. This shows how her spending has been steadily increasing over time. She explains, "It just fills my life up with so much joy. I'm in my late 30s. I just feel like, I don't have kids, and I did the math and if I had kids, I'd be paying for dance camp and swim lessons."

Section 2: The Total Ticket Sales and Justification

The record-breaking total ticket sales of Swift's Eras Tour over a 21-month period, which reached $2,077,618,725 according to the New York Times, is a staggering figure. Glaser takes pride in seeing her own money contribute to this total. She says, "It's nice to see the total that she made. I love that it was down to the dollar, and I could see my own money in that number and be like, 'Yeah, there it is.'" This shows her connection to the success of the tour and how it makes her feel.She also justifies her spending by comparing it to other things people spend money on. She quips, "People spend that much on their kids playing hockey for five years. So it's okay." This shows her ability to rationalize her choices and find comfort in the fact that others make similar investments.

Section 3: Dealing with Criticism

Glaser faces criticism from some people who give her a hard time about her spending. She says, "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.'" This shows the double standard she faces and how it makes her feel confused.She adds, "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." This highlights her desire for a more equal world where everyone can enjoy things without facing judgment.After Swift's tour wrapped, PEOPLE confirmed that she gave out $197 million in bonuses to everyone working on the tour. This shows the impact that Swift's success has had on many people.The Golden Globes air live on Sunday, Jan. 5, at 8 p.m. ET on CBS and Paramount+. Nikki Glaser's story is a testament to the power of fandom and the impact that artists can have on people's lives.
