Golden Globes host Nikki Glaser has shared how much she spent to attend 22 of Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour concerts.
The 40-year-old comedian made the confession during an interview with People, published on Thursday (December 19). The massive Swiftie estimated she spent “close to $100,000” attending shows on Swift’s record-breaking global tour since it kicked off in March 2023.
The Grammy winner ended the Eras Tour in Vancouver, Canada, on December 8 after grossing more than $2 billion in ticket sales.
“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,” Glaser told People.
The host of the 2025 Golden Globes said that the money she spent on the tour was not only “all well worth it,” but she “would’ve paid even more” if she had to.
“It’s nice to see the total that she made,” Glaser added. She joked that she loved that she could see her “own money in that number and be like, ‘Yeah, there it is.’”
Defending her decision to spend the huge sum on Swift’s concerts, Glaser continued: “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.
“There was a part of me that was like, ‘I would like kids,’ but it just doesn’t fit in my life.”
The stand-up comedian went on: “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.”
Of the people who mocked her for attending the Eras tour so many times, she said: “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.’
“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.”
