Nikki Glaser Seriously Loves Taylor Swift: “I’m Maybe a Swiftie Before I’m a Comedian”

As a seasoned gamer, hailing from the realm of stand-up comedy and Taylor Swift fandom, I find myself deeply resonating with Nikki Glaser‘s story. Her unbridled love for Taylor Swift is not just a mere admiration but an emotional connection that transcends the boundaries of age and genre.


It’s well-known that Nikki Glaser, the 40-year-old comedian, openly expresses her fandom for Taylor Swift, often speaking highly of her.

Glaser attended multiple venues during Taylor Swift’s Era Tour. Recently, she shared clips from two of these concerts on TikTok, even posting a heartwarming video of her father tearing up at one of the performances.

“Glaser confirms to The Hollywood Reporter that he’s now a Swift fan, following the video of his father. When asked if Swift contacted him after the video was posted, Glaser explains she hasn’t reached out. In fact, she probably won’t, according to Glaser, who expresses no anticipation and doesn’t dwell on the possibility. She clarifies that her admiration for Swift is genuine and unbiased, with no ulterior motives or desire to be connected to her or boost her status by association.”

Glaser mentions that she was uncertain about sharing content concerning the singer. “I don’t want my admiration for her to be commercialized, nor do I want her to believe I’m trying to grab attention by discussing her,” she clarifies. Glaser notes that talking about Swift often generates headlines, explaining: “It’s a tactic that I’m sure she knows people use, even when they have no real connection to her. They comment on her, and suddenly they find themselves in an article.”

As a gamer, I sometimes find myself grappling with a twinge of self-consciousness, questioning if my passion could be seen as uncool or nerdy by others. It’s like those popular kids in school, the ones always at the cool table, might whisper that I’m a dork for loving what I love so deeply. The worry creeps in, “Are they going to say I’m only doing this to grab Taylor’s attention, or is there some other ulterior motive behind my passion?”

Glaser confesses that she, too, felt a bit awkward about loving something as deeply as Taylor Swift because many of her friends express similar affection for their children. She admits, “I’m just as eager to discuss Taylor Swift as they are to talk about their kids.”

The host of “FBoy Island” contemplated restricting Swift-related content with a paywall to discourage those mocking Glaser and fellow fans. However, she ultimately chose not to do so. She expressed that she didn’t want to profit from it, and there was an idea to donate any earnings to a charity that Swift cared deeply about. Ultimately, Glaser decided not to overthink the situation and began sharing the content freely instead.

“She openly states that she doesn’t usually check comments and instead shares videos posted by others for her, as she dreads the possibility of being ridiculed. Her deepest worry is this, but her adoration for Taylor Swift is so strong that she can’t conceal it.”

Glaser acknowledges that Swifties would comprehend her reluctance to appear insincere. She explains, “They grasp that it’s an illogical yet completely logical love.” She goes on to say, “I might be a Swiftie before I am a comedian. That’s how deeply it resonates within me.”

She’s created an online fan base, sharing news about her future plans to watch a home performance by an 8-year-old mimicking the Eras Tour. Glaser mentions having shared or commented on a video of the boy, with his parents then contacting her about her concert and inviting her to attend their son’s show in the neighborhood. “I think he’s fantastic,” she says, “and honestly, I’d love to see another performance from him.” She laughs.

The comedian always looked forward to attending Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour. She was among numerous enthusiasts planning to journey to Vienna for the concerts that were later called off. (Note: This discussion happened prior to the announcement of the cancellations.)

At Eras Tour, she gets to dress up with makeup, put on some eye-catching eyelashes and a lively outfit. She spends the whole night dancing and watching a performance, as she expresses. According to Glaser, it makes her feel like she’s part of something significant and contributing to joy. She mentions that Taylor Swift recognizes her emotions and opinions in a way that resonates with her, as she has always been an emotionally sensitive young woman who often left others bewildered with her feelings and thoughts.

“Glaser confesses he’s unsure of his next steps once the Eras Tour concludes. He jokes that he might find himself attending Taylor Swift sing-along events in various cities because it brings him such pleasure, though he won’t go so far as to say he’s addicted, but rather, it’s a source of joy for him. Essentially, he wants to pursue happiness.”
