Standup comic Nikki Glaser has made no secret of her fandom of Taylor Swift, and in a recent performance confirmed being one of the lucky few invited to watch the singer exchange vows with Travis Kelce back in July.
While performing at her residency at Caesars Palace Las Vegas on Friday, September 4, she shared some hilarious details of what took place in Madison Square Garden that night.
A Surprise Invitation
“I want to say that I went to a wedding at Madison Square Garden three months ago,” Glaser told the audience, according to audio of the show obtained by Us Weekly.
“I just want to talk about it a little bit. Allegedly — I actually can’t say that I was there legally or else a sniper dot will appear on my forehead,” Glaser joked, referring to the NDAs that invitees were asked to sign.
“I am a huge Swiftie, probably the biggest Swiftie that was at that event. If you’re a Swiftie, you’ll understand, I got the text inviting me to the wedding,” Glaser continued.
“I never thought in a million years I’d get invited. I don’t even know them, but I got invited, and I’m shaking as I’m opening [the message]. I’m like, ‘Oh my God, I want to tell everyone that I know,'” she added.
Hanging with J.Lo
“I didn’t tell anyone, obviously, I was too scared to. So, I go to the wedding. I am in there for 12 hours, and none of my family or friends know where I am. I’m off the grid for 12 hours. They’re texting me, my location’s off. They all thought I killed myself because I wasn’t invited. I was actually inside, and I had nothing to show for it because I had to turn in my phone,” she revealed, referencing guests asked to surrender their phones upon entering.
“I go in, and I have no pictures. It sucks so much because it was the best night of my life as a Swiftie, like, the coolest thing I’ve ever seen. The purest love I’ve ever witnessed, and I have no pictures [and] no evidence.”
Once inside, Glaser saw “so many celebrities” it made her head spin — including Jennifer Lopez. “It was so wild,” Glaser marveled. “It was interesting because some of these celebrities were alone, and these people are never alone. Like, some [allegedly] didn’t get plus-ones, and they just had to go to this event alone. And, because they always have a publicist or assistant, or a blood boy, there’s always someone with these people. But, like, J.Lo was alone.”
According to Glaser, she had met Lopez before. “I kind of know J.Lo, so I was like, ‘Hey!’ And she was like, ‘Oh my God, Nikki,’ and she threw her coat at me,” Glaser joked. “I was just kind of carrying her things around … but we went to the bathroom together. We were, like, pals all night.”
A Memento
“I got really close to stealing something from it because I was, like, ‘I want one cool artifact from this.’ It was late in the night. Everyone’s kind of drunk, dancing on the dance floor. And I’m back by the cake, vaping. … I look up at the cake and on the top tier, where the two little cake toppers are, it’s just Travis.”
Glaser then sets up the punchline. “I reach up, I get it. I’m two seconds from putting it in my purse. It’s almost in there, and then I hear Tom Cruise be like, ‘Put me down!’ I’m, like, ‘Oh my, God!’” she added, poking fun at the “Top Gun” star’s height.
