Before the awards ceremony on Sunday, she posted a funny video of herself preparing for the Golden Globes event on Instagram. Glaser performs a lip-synch to the popular song “Who's Afraid of Little Old Me?” from pop star Taylor Swift's 2024 album, The Tortured Poets Department.

Glaser walked boldly around backstage wearing a gorgeous gold Prabal Gurung gown while playing the heartfelt song with a quirky flair.

The top of Glaser's gold, strapless dress slides down at one point in the video, which features her walking the red carpet.

In the end of the clip, Glaser made an unintentional nip slip because she leaned forward too much. She was often quick-witted and used a humorous “Oops” graphic imposed over her chest to filter the moment. “You really shouldn't be...,” read the caption of her post on Instagram.
