Nikki Glaser spent $25K on Taylor Swift tickets. She's coming to Delaware in November
The same comedian who dropped $25,000 on Taylor Swift concert tickets this year is headlining the new Towers Comedy Festival in Rehoboth Beach next month.
Comedian Nikki Glaser dished about her Swift obsession on an episode of NBC's "The Kelly Clarkson Show" on Oct. 23.
"I just want to say it was a conscious decision," Glaser said about buying the Swift tickets, while Clarkson was cracking up. "I went to nine 'Eras Tour' shows this year. When I'm not on tour, I just like go to her tour."
Nikki Glaser defends her Taylor Swift worship
The comedian said catching Swift live "fills my life up with so much joy."
Glaser, who is in her late 30s and does not have children, said the money she spent on Swift concerts is comparable to being a mom.
"If I had kids, I'd be paying for like dance camp and swim lessons," she explained. "I was going to freeze my eggs in January and that's like about how much it costs. And then I decided just not to freeze them. I decided to burn them."
Glaser has ties to Delaware through ‘FBOY Island’
Before getting tapped to do the Towers Comedy Festival, Glaser already had a connection to Delaware through The CW dating show "FBOY Island," which she executively produced and hosts.
Season two of the show launched in 2022 on HBO Max and featured former Miss Delaware USA winner Mia Emani Jones of Middletown.
"FBOY Island," now in its third season, follows three women who move to a tropical paradise where they're surrounded by 26 men — 13 “nice guys” looking for love and 13 “Fboys” (or promiscuous men) looking to win a cash prize.
