The Eras Tour is a showstopper, there’s no denying it. A song and dance show, you don’t have to be a Swiftie to be impressed. Meanwhile, fitness fans will be left wondering, “How?!?”
Well, wonder no more. We know exactly how Taylor Swift built up the strength and stamina to perfect her record-breaking tour. Both the singer and her personal trainer have cleaned up her fitness regime and it’s seriously impressive. We’re talking about the kind that needs a “Do not try this at home…” disclaimer unless you’re working with a qualified fitness expert.
That’s right, Swift approaches her tour with the same dedication as a professional athlete. So while you might be inspired by his mindset and some of his moves, make sure you don’t compare yourself to the songwriter (or anyone else) in the gym.
As we’re sure she’ll be the first to tell you, when it comes to fitness and diet it’s all about figuring out what works best you. However, it’s still incredibly fun to dive into our favorite celebrity’s workout. So, without further ado, let’s break down everything we know about Swift’s approach to staying in shape, plus how she prepares for these three-hour-plus shows.
What is Taylor Swift’s workout routine?
There is an off season
Like we said, Swift doesn’t play around when it comes to her craft. Like when he’s perfecting his voice, he works hard to prepare his body for his physically demanding tour.
said his trainer Kirk Myers, the founder of New York and LAs Dogpound Gym British Vogue: “We approached her training for the Eres tour with the mindset of a professional athlete. There was an off-season when she wasn’t on tour and an off-season when she was.
What does off-season training involve? Many hours in the gym working on strength, conditioning and more. “When he’s not on tour, he’s in the gym up to six days a week for sometimes two hours a day,” explains Myers.
…. and a season
Swift’s training doesn’t stop when she hits the road. oh no Taylor trained throughout the tour. We would average twice a week. In-season training was more about maintenance and so it was more like stability, mobility, biomechanics,” reveals Myers.
To be clear, we’re talking back-to-back shows and training sessions (something you shouldn’t be replicating without a professional to advise you on your all-important recovery. You know, in case you were thinking about a world tour).
Swift is all about endurance
No one will be surprised to learn that endurance is key when it comes to Swift’s performances. Along with all her dancing on stage, she gets her cardio in by jogging. Swift shared a glimpse of her sessions when she was named TIME’s Person of the Year 2023. “Every day I was running on the treadmill, singing the entire playlist out loud,” she said. “Fast for fast songs, and a quick jog or walk for slow songs.”
ICYMI, this in turn prompted a wave of fans to start running, with many taking on a challenge called the “Couch to Eras Tour.”
Breathing is also key
Focusing on your breathing during workouts helps strengthen your core, according to trainer Swift Myers. It makes sense then that breathing is a key focus when Swift is sweating.
Of course, you’ll already have an advantage thanks to your vocal abilities, but this is an easy tip that anyone can incorporate into their workouts.
And she doesn’t give up
Taylor is the most resilient person I’ve ever met,” says Myers. It’s so inspiring to see her constantly overcome obstacles and come out better and stronger in the end. This also translates into her training and during her workouts. I give her a difficult exercise or a challenging workout is not only able to complete it and progress, but also persevere, moving on to the next exercise, this makes her stronger, better and faster.
It’s like Swift said during her iconic SHE interview (about 30 things he learned before turning 30): “Trying and failing and trying again and failing again is normal.”
Honestly, we love watching it. Giving yourself permission to fail is really important, especially when you’re trying something difficult.
Swift plays pickleball
In Swift’s recent fortnight challenge, she revealed that she loves a game of pickleball. Once you’ve stopped yelling that clip that sees Travis Kelce kissing Swift while she’s cooking, you’ll notice that his vlog includes some active clips.
Along with a video showing Swift working out with ankle weights, there’s a photo of her perfecting her swing. Maybe she was inspired by Zendaya Challengers?
What is Taylor Swift’s approach to her diet?
It’s something he’s still working on
Swift has spoken candidly about her past experience with an eating disorder, commenting on the topic in her documentary “Miss Americana.” Her body image is also something she addressed in it SHE interview where she explained: “I learned to stop hating every ounce of fat on my body. I worked hard to train my brain that a little extra weight means curves, shinier hair and more energy. I think many of us we push the limits of dieting, but taking it too far can be really dangerous. There’s no quick fix to accepting my body every day.

He loves home cooking
“I’ve always cooked A LOT, but I’ve found three recipes that I know I’ll be making for dinners for life: Ina Gartens Meatballs and Spaghetti (I only use packaged breadcrumbs and only mince for the meat), Nigella Lawsons Mughlai Chicken and Jamie Olivers Chicken Fajitas with Mol Sauce,” Swift said SHE.
In the same interview, he revealed that he has perfected a few cocktail recipes, including Pimms cups, Aperol spritzes, oldies and mojitos.
However, he cut back on his alcohol intake to prepare for his latest tour. Swift said TIME: I stopped drinking a couple of months before the show, except for the night of the Grammys. Doing this show with a hangover I don’t want to know this world.
… and in the oven
Swifties will already know. Specific case? The singer’s famous cinnamon buns that you can see in her Fortnightly Challenge. He even appeared on a ‘Bake It Off’ special with Jamie Oliver in aid of Stand Up to Cancer a few years ago.
Swift takes vitamins
“Vitamins make me feel so much better! I take L-theanine, which is a natural supplement to help with stress and anxiety. I also take magnesium for muscle health and energy,” says the star.
Breakfast in bed, anyone?
As you can see, Swift’s routine can be pretty intense, especially when she’s working out while on tour. But, and this is very important, it also has time for recovery. Specifically, he likes to crash in bed when he takes a “day off” to rest before shows. I don’t leave my bed except to grab food and take it back to bed and eat it there, she told TIME. It’s a dream scenario. I can barely speak because I’ve been singing for three shows in a row. Every time I take a step, my feet crunch, crunch, crunch from dancing in heels. But it’s the most satisfying I’ve ever felt.
