Nikki Glaser Spent Nearly $100,000 on Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour

Taylor Swift’s record-breaking Eras Tour has not only captivated millions of fans worldwide but also inspired some die-hard Swifties to go above and beyond to experience the magic live. Among them is Nikki Glaser, a 40-year-old comedian who revealed she spent “close to $100,000” attending 22 of Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour shows.

A True Die-Hard Swiftie

Speaking to People, Glaser broke down her expenses, explaining that the hefty sum included tickets, travel, accommodations, merchandise, and even flying friends and family to join her. “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 said. Despite the high cost, the comedian insisted, “I would’ve paid even more.”

Glaser’s admiration for Swift is clear, and she doesn’t regret a single penny. “It just fills my life up with so much joy,” she said, emphasizing that the experiences were “all well worth it.”

The Eras Tour: A Global Phenomenon

Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour has shattered records, with The New York Times reporting that the tour brought in $2 billion in ticket sales, making it the highest-grossing tour of all time. Glaser humorously acknowledged her contribution to Swift’s staggering success, saying, “I could see my own money in that number and be like, ‘Yeah, there it is.’”

Justifying the Expense

Some critics have questioned Glaser’s decision to spend such a significant amount on concerts. However, the comedian has a unique perspective. “I justify that cost because I don’t have kids, and it’s something that I consciously decided not to do,” she explained. After researching the cost of raising a child, Glaser concluded that her investment in Taylor Swift’s tour was perfectly reasonable. “People spend that much on their kids playing hockey for five years. So it’s okay.”

Glaser echoed these sentiments during her appearance on The Kelly Clarkson Show in October 2023, where she revealed that she had already spent $25,000 on nine Eras Tour shows at the time. She said, “I’m in my late 30s. I just feel like, I don’t have kids, and I did the math. If I had kids, I’d be paying for dance camp and swim lessons.”

More Than Just a Concert

For Glaser and many other Swifties, the Eras Tour isn’t just a concert—it’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience that brings immense joy. Her story highlights the lengths fans will go to for their favorite artist and underscores the powerful connection Taylor Swift has built with her audience.

As the Eras Tour continues to make headlines, one thing is certain: Swift’s influence transcends music, creating a sense of community and belonging among her fans. And for die-hard Swifties like Nikki Glaser, no price is too high to be part of that magic.
