How These Musicians Stay In Top Shape For Tour

In March 2023, Taylor Swift kicked off her Eras Tour, her biggest and most ambitious tour to date. For Swift, staying healthy and maintaining her energy to perform night after night is of paramount importance, particularly given that her performances typically last for three-and-a-half hours. While she’s rarely discussed exercise and diet, back in 2010 she spoke with WebMD about her tendency to eat healthily during the weekdays, gravitating toward yogurt, salad, and even sandwiches. However, she tries not to maintain anything that’s strictly delineated. “I don’t like to create too many rules where I don’t need them,” she explained, admitting that on the weekends she’ll allow herself to indulge a bit. “I love a burger and fries, I love ice cream so much, and I love baking cookies. Actually, I love baking anything,” she said. 

Swift is also a firm believer in working up a sweat with some cardio, which typically involves running on a treadmill — which also allows her to check out her musical competition while exercising. “For me, running is about blasting a whole bunch of new songs and running to the beat,” she explained.

Meanwhile, Swift has also been known to enlist the services of Simone De La Rue, a former dancer who has trained such celebs as Reese Witherspoon, Sandra Bullock, and Selena Gomez. In fact, De La Rue shared an intensive video of the 20-minute workout routine that had become a favorite of Swift’s.
