Nikki Glaser is giving hints about how she plans to keep the audience in stitches when she makes her debut hosting the Golden Globe Awards. Glaser hinted Friday in an interview with Variety that Taylor Swift might be fodder for some of her jokes — but only under the right circumstances.

The 40-year-old superstar comedian also made it clear to Yahoo! Entertainment that she'll be avoiding another major celebrity controversy — the dueling lawsuits of It Ends With Us star Blake Lively and her director and costar Justin Baldoni. Glaser made it clear that the smash musical adaptation Wicked would be providing significant material for her Golden Globes monologue, and she compared the film's success to that of Swift's massively successful Eras Tour.

'It has that Eras Tour energy,' she said of Wicked. However, she wanted to avoid stepping on any toes because of the long-running Broadway musical's rabid fanbase. Nikki Glaser hinted to Variety on Friday that she might joke about Taylor Swift when she hosts the Golden Globe Awards for the first time on Sunday; seen Thursday at the Golden Globes red carpet rollout.
