Nikki Glaser shares what she almost stole from Taylor Swift's wedding
Nikki Glaser almost stole the topper from Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's wedding cake but was overcome with guilt.
Nikki Glaser almost stole the topper from Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's wedding cake.
The 42-year-old comic was delighted to be invited to the couple's star-studded celebrations at New York's Madison Square Garden in July and was keen to take home a special souvenir from the big day, but ultimately couldn't bring herself to put such a key item in her bag.
During her stand-up show at Caesars Palace Las Vegas, Nikki told the audience: "I got really close to just stealing something from it because I was like, 'I want one cool artifact from this.'
"So, it was late in the night, and everyone's kind of drunk, dancing on the dance floor, and I'm back by the cake vaping.
"I am watching the dancing. It's like Mark Zuckerberg doing the robot, which is just him standing. Jelly Roll is doing the worm—or having a heart attack.
"I look up at the cake, and on the top tier where the two little cake toppers are, it's just Travis. Taylor's missing, and I'm like, 'Someone already took Taylor, I'm taking Travis.' This is the perfect thing to get. And there's no cameras, no one has phones, so I was like, 'No one will know it's me.'"
Joking about the Mission: Impossible actor's height, she added: "So 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,' and I'm like, 'Oh my gosh!'"
The Bangin' star is a huge Taylor fan who previously admitted to spending around $100,000 attending 22 shows on the Eras Tour, but she was stunned to be invited to the wedding.
She said: "I got the text inviting me to the wedding. I never thought in a million years I'd get invited. I don't even know them, but I got invited, and I'm like shaking as I'm opening it."
Because of the secrecy surrounding the big day, Nikki's loved ones were left concerned for her well-being.
She said: "I am in there for 12 hours, and none of my family or friends know where I am.
"I'm just 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, but I was actually inside, and I have nothing to show for it, because I had to turn in my phone."
The comic particularly enjoyed people-watching during the celebrations because so many big-name stars had attended on their own, leading to her befriending Jennifer Lopez.
She joked: "It was interesting because some of these celebrities were alone, and these people are never alone.
"But like J.Lo was alone. J.Lo was kind of like a wallflower, like alone, awkward. And J.Lo's never alone—I mean, she is in her heart.
"We were like pals all night. I got to show her how a public restroom works. That was really cool for her. She was confused by the toilet seat.
"I wiped her. I mean, I did keep that toilet paper, that was my something brown. No, I didn't wipe J.Lo - she made me put water in my mouth and bidet her down."
