Comedian Nikki Glaser and her parents attended Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour concert in Dublin on a Sunday night, an event that unexpectedly spiraled into a viral moment due to an interaction involving Julia Roberts and Travis Kelce in the VIP section.
On the same night, Roberts, the acclaimed actress, was caught in a moment that some interpreted as being overly affectionate with Swift’s NFL star boyfriend, sparking a flurry of online commentary.
Glaser’s parents, Julie and Edward, were among those who had strong opinions about Roberts’ behavior.
Nikki Glaser took to her Instagram story to share a video clip where her mother labeled Roberts’ actions as “gross” and “weird.”
Meanwhile, her father humorously commented that it looked like the Kansas City Chiefs star was “trying to get away from” the actress known for her role in Pretty Woman.

The incident quickly caught the attention of social media and the press, leading to widespread discussion and analysis. The next day, Nikki posted screenshots of news articles that covered her parents’ reactions to the incident, which had been captured on her Instagram stories.
Recognizing the impact of their words, the Glaser family decided to address the situation publicly.
Nikki soon updated her followers with her parents’ apologies through another series of Instagram stories. Julie Glaser expressed regret over her choice of words, particularly the use of “gross,” acknowledging it as harsh and inappropriate. “I probably should’ve said something different than the word ‘gross,’” she reflected. “It’s a weird word. It’s not a nice word… So, I’m issuing an apology right now for using the word ‘gross,’ but I think it was really weird.”
Edward Glaser light-heartedly remarked that it was “too late” for his wife to backtrack, adding a note of humor to the apology.
Amidst the social media stir, some observers noted that Roberts seemed somewhat hands-on with Kelce, but lip readers later suggested that the actress was simply expressing her happiness for Kelce and Swift’s relationship, indicating a misunderstanding might have occurred.
This sequence of events underscores the rapid pace at which personal observations can escalate into public spectacles, especially with the involvement of high-profile celebrities.
