Nikki Glaser's parents can't get over Julia Roberts' interaction with NFL star Travis Kelce at Taylor Swift's Eras Tour after they attended the singer's Eras tour stop.

AceShowbiz - The comedian Nikki Glaser, 40, recently posted an Instagram video capturing her parents' reactions to a viral clip of Julia Roberts, 56, interacting with Travis Kelce, 34, during Taylor Swift's concert in Dublin.
Nikki's mom, Julie Glaser, found the actress's behavior "gross," specifically pointing out Roberts tickling Kelce's chest. Julie quipped, "She's so gross," while her husband Edward added the moment was weird, alleging Kelce seemed to be "trying to get away" from Roberts.
As the video continued, Julie jokingly remarked, "She's trying to French kiss him right now! Just kidding. She would." Nikki herself agreed with her mother, expressing discomfort over Roberts' actions.
The social media uproar featured opinions from both sides: some fans claimed that Kelce looked visibly uncomfortable while others defended Roberts, highlighting her more affectionate personality and noting the lack of romantic context.
The Sunday, June 30 concert was a first for Nikki's dad but a familiar territory for Nikki, who has attended 13 of Swift's shows. Their reactions weren't just limited to moments of celebrity interactions; Nikki shared a sweet video of her dad tearing up during "Champagne Problems," an emotional song that struck a chord with the crowd.
While Nikki's mom prompted controversy with her outspoken reaction, she clarified her stance, stating via Nikki's Instagram Story that using the term "gross" was not the best choice of words. Julie admitted, "It's not a nice word… I meant to say just 'weird,' not 'gross and weird.' " Nikki humorously acknowledged this, noting her mom had retracted the stronger adjective.
The Eras Tour concert in Dublin brought many celebrities to the VIP section, where Roberts was seen being "handsy" with Kelce. Though she's married to Danny Moder and has a longstanding admiration for Swift - having even joined the pop star on stage in 2015 - Roberts' actions raised more than a few eyebrows, with claims that she might have been drunk.
Kelce's support for Swift was evident as well, with the NFL star clapping for her post-performance and the couple later mingling with celebrities like Stevie Nicks and the members of Paramore at a local bar. Swift's tour continues to captivate audiences worldwide, and the Dublin show will decidedly go down as a memorable one, albeit for unexpected reasons.
