They both feature a chart-topping singer who changes clothes a lot, but other than that, the movie Wicked and the Eras Tour wouldn’t seem to have much in common. But Nikki Glaser, the Taylor Swift superfan who on Dec. 8 will become the first woman ever to host the Golden Globes solo, begs to differ.
Speaking to Variety about who and what she plans to poke fun at during her monologue on Sunday night’s show, Glaser says, “Wicked is the one that we’re really trying to nail. It has that Eras Tour energy — I want to respect the fandom and not trash it, because as a Swiftie, there is no joke you can make about Taylor Swift that is O.K. to me. I relate to people who love Wicked that much.”
Glaser, who saw the Eras Tour 22 times, says she regrets not hosting the Globes last year, when Taylor was in the audience. However, she notes, “I’m hoping this turns into a gig that I can do multiple times, and I can perform for her, because I’ve watched her so many times.”
