Nikki Glaser's experience on Taylor Swift's tour
In a recent interview, Glaser shared that this adventure cost him close to 100,000 dollars, a figure that includes tickets, transportation, accommodation, and other expenses related to his adventure.
"I want to clarify that this amount includes travel expenses, hotels, and also the costs of bringing and hosting those who accompanied me," detailed the comedian. Despite the high cost, Nikki did not show any regret and described the investment as "absolutely valuable."
Your statement has sparked a debate on how people manage their personal finances and prioritize their expenses, especially when it comes to experiences.
Nikki sees it as a great investment
The Eras Tour, which concluded on December 8th in Canada, was an unprecedented phenomenon, raising over 2 billion dollars in ticket sales, as reported by The New York Times. During the 21 months of the tour, thousands of people like Glaser fully immersed themselves in the experience, spending large sums of money to be part of this musical milestone.
For Nikki, the expense on the tour has a personal justification. "I looked up information on how much it costs to raise a child, and when I saw that number, I thought: 'There's no problem in spending this on Taylor Swift,'" she explained in an interview with People. In the United States, the costs of raising a child can exceed $230,000 until they turn 18, which, according to Glaser, allowed her to justify her choice of allocating that money to something that brings her happiness and satisfaction.
However, the comedian is also aware of the criticism generated by her decision. "No one judges those who spend money on their children, but when someone like me attends 22 concerts, suddenly it's a problem," she stated. She also referred to the controversy over the high ticket prices, pointing out that the inequality in their sale gives the most privileged an advantage: "I wish it were a lottery, but if I didn't buy that $6,000 ticket, someone else with equal or more resources would have."
