Taylor Swift reveals the VERY intense workout regimen that helped her to get in top shape for her Eras Tour – from running on a treadmill while singing to quitting all ALCOHOL

Taylor Swift has revealed the insane workout regimen that helped her prepare for her Eras Tour – from running on a treadmill while singing to quitting all alcohol.

The 33-year-old singer’s impressive, three-hour-15-minute concert sees her perform a whopping 44 songs from her decade-long career while undergoing a multitude of costume changes.

Now, the Cruel Summer songstress has opened up about the extreme measures that she took to ensure that she would be in tip top shape for the tour, while speaking to Time magazine.

‘I knew this tour was harder than anything I’d ever done before by a long shot,’ she told the publication, who has named her 2023’s Person of the Year.

Taylor explained that she started training six months before the tour kicked off at a New York City-based gym called Dogpound – a ‘state-of-the-art’ facility ‘offering bespoke team, private training, lifestyle advice,’ according to its website.

‘I knew this tour was harder than anything I’d ever done before by a long shot,’ she told the publication, who has named her 2023’s Person of the Year

She recalled performing her entire setlist while running on a treadmill, so that she would be ready to belt out her hits while moving around the stage.

‘Every day I would run on the treadmill, singing the entire set list out loud,’ she continued. ‘Fast for fast songs, and a jog or a fast walk for slow songs.’

She also incorporated ‘strength, conditioning, and weights.’

Three months before the tour, Taylor also began working relentlessly with choreographer Mandy Moore, to learn the dance moves.

Mandy was recommended to her by her pal Emma Stone. Emma had previously worked with Mandy on the musical La La Land.

The pop star admitted, ‘Learning choreography is not my strong suit. I had three months of dance training, because 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.’

The musician told the publication that in the past, she lived ‘like a frat guy’ on the road, but this time was different.

She explained that she cut out alcohol completely ahead of the tour, adding, ‘Doing that show with a hangover… I don’t want to know that world.’

While reflecting on the impressive length of her show, Taylor said that she wanted to give her fans something special since she knew how hard they had to work to get there.

When the Eras Tour tickets first went on sale last year – millions failed to get their hands on a ticket, which lead to a highly-publicized war between Swifties and the company that sold them, Ticketmaster.

‘They had to work really hard to get the tickets,’ Taylor noted. ‘I wanted to play a show that was longer than they ever thought it would be, because that makes me feel good leaving the stadium.’

And putting on the immense performance certainly takes a toll on Taylor. She usually performs two or three shows in a row which is followed by a bunch of days off before the next set of concerts.

She admitted that she needs a full day to recover after she finishes a run of shows, and that she can ‘barely speak’ or walk afterwards.

‘I do not leave my bed except to get food and take it back to my bed and eat it there [for the first day after the shows],’ she revealed.

‘It’s a dream scenario. I can barely speak because I’ve been singing for three shows straight. Every time I take a step my feet go crunch, crunch, crunch from dancing in heels.’

But no matter how sore she is, Taylor vowed that nothing will keep her from getting back on the stage when the next concert comes.

‘I know I’m going on that stage whether I’m sick, injured, heartbroken, uncomfortable, or stressed,’ she added.

‘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.’

In the end, she said she hopes that revisiting her old ‘eras’ for the concert will encourage others to ‘celebrate who they are now, where they’re going, and where they’ve been.’

‘Every part of you that you’ve ever been, every phase you’ve ever gone through, was you working it out in that moment with the information you had available to you at the time,’ she concluded.

‘There’s a lot that I look back at like, “Wow, a couple years ago I might have cringed at this.”

‘You should celebrate who you are now, where you’re going, and where you’ve been.’

Taylor Swift is back in rehearsals for the next leg of her Eras Tour.

Natalie Lecznar, one of Swift’s Eras Tour dancers, revealed that the singer is officially gearing up to hit the stage once again.

“13 Days. First day of rehearsals for tour,” Lecznar shared via Instagram Stories on Thursday, January 25. “Countdown to Tokyo.”

Swift and her team will be taking a trip to Japan for four tour stops in February before jetting to Australia later that same month. The musician is set to hit everywhere from Japan to Europe on the tour’s international leg, which runs from February to August of this year.

The same day that Swift and her dancers resumed rehearsals happened to be the one year anniversary of the crew’s Eras Tour journey.

“One year ago today, this journey began in a rehearsal room with some of the hardest working, dedicated, and most talented humans!” Lecznar captioned a black-and-white Instagram post of Swift. “Thank you @nopenother for bringing it all together and making us shimmer, and to our fearless leader Taylor Swift, you inspire us all. Thank you for taking us on this world journey with you! See you soon tour fam, See you soon.”

Lecznar gave a special shout-out to famed choreographer Mandy Moore who put together all the Eras Tour moves.

“I love that she is a hard worker, she cares so much about what she’s doing, she wants the fans to have the best show possible, and she stops at nothing to get that done,” Moore told Entertainment Tonight in November 2023 about working with Swift. “And I appreciate it because I like to work hard too, and we are really alike. We had a really good working relationship; it was awesome.”

Swift officially kicked off her Eras Tour in March 2023, months after the now-infamous Ticketmaster debacle which caused chaos among Swifties when many of them were left without tickets.

“It’s really difficult for me to trust an outside entity with these relationships and loyalties, and excruciating for me to just watch mistakes happen with no recourse,” Swift shared in a statement following the incident. “There are a multitude of reasons why people had such a hard time trying to get tickets and I’m trying to figure out how this situation can be improved moving forward.”

While she’s since added various other dates to the Eras Tour lineup, Swift also released a film version of her concert, titled Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour. The movie was nominated for Cinematic and Box Office Achievement at the Golden Globes earlier this month after grossing $250.3 million worldwide at the box office. (The win ultimately went to Barbie.)

The next leg of Swift’s tour overlaps with the NFL postseason. If her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, and the Kansas City Chiefs make it to the Super Bowl, fans are speculating whether Swift will make the trip from Tokyo to Las Vegas, where this year’s big game is being held on February 11.

Drew Barrymore previously teased that it’s possible Swift make it to the game — even if she flies commercial.

“If she left Tokyo at midnight. The flight time is 11 hours and 35 minutes approximately from Tokyo to Vegas, so she might arrive at 10:30 p.m., but on February 10, leaving her a full night’s sleep,” Barrymore explained during a November 2023 episode of The Drew Barrymore Show.
