Swift opened up to 'Time' after being named their 2023 Person of the Year about the intense training regimen she used to prepare for the '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.

Nancy Mace's Claim That No One Would Know Simone Biles' Name If Men Competed Against Her Gets Epically Fact-Checked

Now she's decided to take on the most decorated gymnast in history—in women's and men's gymnastics—Simone Biles, who holds the record for the most Olympic and World Championship medals combined. Biles won 41 medals in just those events, surpassing all other gymnasts.

Vance Tried To Make A Joke About Seeing 'Les Misérables' At The Kennedy Center—And It's Peak Cringe

Vice President JD Vance had people groaning after he made a bad joke about the production of Les Misérables he and his wife, Second Lady Usha Vance, attended at the Kennedy Center with President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump.

The musical, set in 19th century France, tells the story of Jean Valjean, an ex-convict who is released from prison for stealing a loaf of bread. The story touches on timeless themes such as justice and mercy—and also happens to be about people resisting an authoritarian takeover, which many find ironic given the Trump administration's response to protests in Los Angeles.

People Who Smashed Wedding Cake In Their Spouse's Face Reveal How Their Relationship Is Going Now

According to The Knot wedding resource magazine and website, smashing cake into the face of a spouse after tying the knot is a tradition tied to medieval England. To celebrate the marriage, the bride would toss a piece of piece of cake over her shoulder for good luck.

This evolved into newlyweds feeding a piece of cake to one another, then taking frosting or a small bit of cake and rubbing it gently onto each other's faces—usually the cheek or tip of the nose.
