Comedian Nikki Glaser is proving her devotion to Taylor Swift is no joke. 

In her recent appearance on Jimmy Kimmel live, Glaser revealed she followed Swift around Europe to catch five shows in just ten days! 

The star further proved to host Kumail Nanijiani that this wasn't a one-off obsession, claiming to have seen Swift a staggering 17 times in the past 15 months.

The comedian reportedly prioritizes concert attendance over other life milestones, revealing she would choose Swift over things like buying a house or starting a family. She even humorously admitted to wearing diapers at shows to avoid missing a single moment.

Glaser's father, a devoted fan of the legendary Beatles, initially held reservations about Swift's music. However, after attending a concert with his daughter, Glaser said her dad was brought to tears by the experience. 

Glaser herself considers Swift one of the greatest performers alive, calling her concerts the "best thing in the world."

Previously, Glaser’s superfan status was questioned after the release of Taylor Swift's documentary, "Miss Americana." 

The 2020 documentary included a montage of past media commentary about Swift, and a clip from an old interview featuring Glaser surfaced. In the clip, she commented on Swift’s weight, saying, "She’s too skinny; it bothers me... all of her model friends, and it’s just like, C’mon!" 

Taking to social media, Glaser issued an apology, writing, "[I]t's insanely ironic because anyone who knows me knows I'm obnoxiously obsessed with her and her music."

Glaser went on to acknowledge her own struggles, stating, "The sound bite was from an interview I did 5 years ago and I say in SUCH a shitty tone."

She continued, "This quote should be used as an example of ‘projection’ in PSYCH 101 textbooks." 

She further apologized for any pain she caused Swift, highlighting the ongoing influence of Swift's music on her comedy career.
