Taylor Swift Details Her Impressive Workout Regimen While Preparing For Her 'Eras Tour'
In her 2023 Person of the Year interview with Timemagazine, Taylor Swift detailed how she physically prepared for her Eras Tour in the months leading up to its launch, and to say we are impressed is an understatement.
The singer said she began training six months before the tour's March kickoff at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona.
“I knew this tour was harder than anything I’d ever done before by a long shot."
“I finally, for the very first time, physically prepared correctly.”
So, how did the Grammy winner ready herself for three-plus hours of entertaining tens of thousands of fans each night?
Well, for starters, she ran on the treadmill every single day while singing the entire set list. The entire set list!
"Fast for fast songs, and a jog or a fast walk for slow songs."
Swift also took dance classes and did strength training at the Dogpound gym.
Intense, yes, but she knew the payoff would be worth it.
“I wanted to get it in my bones."
"I wanted to be so over-rehearsed that I could be silly with the fans, and not lose my train of thought. Learning choreography is not my strong suit.”
She also gave up alcohol during those months, with the exception of the Grammy Awards in February.
“I gave myself a fun night for that one."
But then it was back to business.
“Doing that show with a hangover, I don't want to know that world.”
People on social media were floored by Swift's rigorous routine as well as her dedication.

While Swift acknowledged her workout regimen is intense, her stamina is invaluable.
“I know I'm not drinking on tour. I know I'm working out in between shows. I know I'm keeping my strength and stamina up."
"I know I'm going on that stage whether I'm sick, injured, heartbroken, uncomfortable, or stressed."
“That’s part of my identity as a human being now. If someone buys a ticket to my show, I’m going to play it unless we have some sort of force majeure.”
Now that is dedication.
