"I think it's gonna ruin some relationships, to be honest," Glaser said. "Because I think a lot of people watched that and were like, 'I deserve that. I deserve that type of enthusiasm, and I deserve that kind of person who celebrates me in that way.' I think there's a lot of people watching it like, 'Maybe I deserve better.'

"Taylor's always kind of raised the bar for young women of what we feel like we need and deserve, and can do in this lifetime. So I think even romantically, she's raising the bar. I'm so happy for her," she added.

Nikki Glaser predicted that the couple would have a “big” wedding and that Swift would get married in “some kind of protected dome.”
