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.

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
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](https://i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2023/12/06/14/78644493-12832549-_I_knew_this_tour_was_harder_than_anything_I_d_ever_done_before_-a-8_1701872957247.jpg)
‘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.

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

There were a pair of white boots and assorted clothes on the tiled floor of the luxury home, which appeared to have a Christmas tree put up in the time between the first and second clips she posted Sunday.
After she deleted the initial post with the bandage, she posted another dance clip in which she danced to the Beyonce track.

Spears - who is in the divorce process with estranged husband Sam Asghari - sparked fears among fans when she sported a bandage on her arm and possible cuts on her person in two September 27 Instagram clips.
Spears reportedly has 'had a fascination with knives,' TMZ reported in May, adding that the singer slept 'with one under her bed' amid terror of being 're-institutionalized.'
A year and a half after the end of her 13-year conservatorship, in which Spears previously described as 'abusive' in explosive courtroom testimony, a source alleged that the pop star remains in 'mortal fear' that 'someone will come in the middle of the night, strap her to a gurney and take her to a psych ward.'
After regaining control of her own personal and financial affairs in 2021, the site claims those caring for the mother-of-two 'prepared a list of recommendations' for Spears, which included keeping her away from weapons and 'not driving alone.'
The singer, who revealed in 2021 that she had been diagnosed with bipolar disorder, is said to have a 'constant fear of being re-institutionalized.'
In 2022, Britney's younger sister, Jamie Lynn Spears, claimed in her tell-all book that her sibling once locked them in a room together while holding a knife.
In a passage from her memoir, Things I Should Have Said, the Zoey 101 alum, 32, recalled Britney telling her she was 'scared' before taking 'large knife from the kitchen' and pulling her into her room and locking them 'both inside.'

Jamie Lynn Spears claims she has a text that 'clears' her name
'She put the knife in the bedside table drawer and simply repeated, ‘I'm scared’' Jamie Lynn recalled. 'I knew something was wrong and I was powerless to do something about it.'
While discussing the claim on an episode of Alex Cooper's podcast, Call Her Daddy, in 2022, the former child star clarified that she 'never felt like [Britney] was going to harm' her or 'anything.'
'It just felt weird. And I didn't understand it,' she said of the incident that reportedly occurred in 2004, shortly after Britney’s wedding to Jason Alexander, which was annulled within 55 hours.
At the time, Jamie Lynn would have been just 13, and Britney 22.
Britney vehemently denied the alleged incident between them on Twitter.
'I’ve never been around you ever with a knife or would I ever even think to do such!!!' Britney tweeted in 2022. 'The only knife I ever saw you with at home was cutting the biggest pieces of squash I ever saw in my life and it was way too big for me to cut.'
Britney then expressed feeling hurt by the claims and said she was 'actually very confused' why Jamie Lynn was 'making that up because it’s honestly not like' her to lie.
Following the release of her book, Jamie Lynn defended her choice to tell the story as she pointed out her book is 'not about her' sister.
'I can’t help that I was born a Spears too, and that some of my experiences involve my sister,' she wrote on Instagram. 'I’ve worked hard since before I was even a teenager, and I’ve built my career in spite of just being someone’s little sister.'
Britney has been anticipating the release of her memoir, The Woman In Me, which will be available on October 24.
Christopher Nolan’s potential involvement in the James Bond franchise has been the subject of persistent rumors over the last few years. Nolan has shown interest in the director’s role on a number of occasions, and with the end of the Daniel Craig era of James Bond, these rumors have gained significant momentum. If producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson succeed in bringing Christopher Nolan on board (as per rumors, for two movies), the hype for the film will skyrocket.
Christopher Nolan
Nolan is enjoying a wave of success following the release of Oppenheimer, a biopic on the Father of the Atom Bomb. The interesting question that arises with the rumored entry of the Interstellar director is the choice of actor who will succeed Daniel Craig in the iconic 007 role.
Who Will Be Christopher Nolan’s Choice Of James Bond Actor?
Aaron Taylor-Johnson is a frontrunner for the James Bond role
Throughout the years, the iconic role of MI6 spy agent, James Bond, has been played by legendary actors such as Sean Connery, Roger Moore, Pierce Brosnan, and, of course, Daniel Craig. Craig announced his exit from the role after No Time to Die in 2021. Since then, various actors have been rumored to take up the mantle in the franchise.
One of the fan-favorite contenders was Henry Cavill, who was the second choice for the role during the casting of Casino Royale. Cavill has expressed his interest in the role on various occasions. However, with Christopher Nolan reportedly in talks to direct, another Marvel actor has emerged as a frontrunner. Aaron Taylor-Johnson is known for his roles as Pietro Maximoff in the MCU’s Avengers: Age of Ultron and the titular character in the upcoming Sony’s Spider-Man Universe film, Kraven the Hunter.
Taylor-Johnson previously collaborated with Christopher Nolan in his 2020 sci-fi action film, Tenet. There have been reports suggesting that Taylor-Johnson has secretly auditioned for the role and may soon be confirmed. Earlier, other actors in Nolan’s circle, such as Cillian Murphy, Robert Pattinson, and Tom Hardy, were also rumored to be considered for the role.
What Are The Chances Of Christopher Nolan Helming The James Bond Movies?
Christopher Nolan will rumoredly direct the next Bond film following Daniel Craig’s exit
The chances are pretty high for the franchise to bring in Christopher Nolan, especially since the last rumored director Matthew Vaughn, has taken on a DC project, making him unavailable. Interestingly, Nolan had to pass up the opportunity to direct an earlier James Bond film, Spectre, due to a busy schedule.
Further, in an interview with Playboy Magazine, Nolan revealed that he has maintained communication with the producers of the James Bond franchise. The Dark Knight director shared his excitement in potentially directing a Bond film with Playboy:
“I’ve spoken to the producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson over the years. I deeply love the character, and I’m always excited to see what they do with it.”
More recently, Nolan admitted that it would be an “amazing privilege” to direct a James Bond movie during an appearance on the Happy Sad Confused podcast with Josh Horowitz. However, Nolan presented a condition to have creative freedom over the project if he were to take it on. Nolan shared with Josh Horowitz:
“You wouldn’t want to take on a film not fully committed to what you bring to the table creatively. So as a writer, casting, everything, it’s a full package. You’d have to be really needed, you’d have to be really wanted in terms of bringing the totality of what you bring to a character.”
Fans look forward to a confirmation from the producers, especially since it has been two years since the release of the last Bond film. In the meantime, fans of the franchise can enjoy all the Bond films, now available for streaming on MGM+.
