Taylor Swift uses treadmill workouts to train for Eras Tour

All is right with the world–Taylor Swift has confirmed she’s a runner.

In an interview with Time Magazine in acceptance of her Person of The Year award, Swift revealed that she frequently ran to her 180-minute set list on the treadmill to train and stay in shape for her Eras Tour.

Every day I would run on the treadmill, singing the entire set list out loud […] I would run fast for fast songs and fast walk or jog the slow songs,” Swift said to Time Magazine.

The blockbuster Eras Tour, which kicked off this summer, includes 151 shows across five continents, each of which features a 44-song setlist spanning her 10 studio albums.

According to Time Magazine, Swift began the training regimen six months before her tour began. Her shows are on average more than three hours–a time frame comparable to a marathon. Her trainers reportedly crafted a plan that incorporates running alongside weight training and other forms of conditioning.

This isn’t the first time Swift revealed she dabbles in running. In 2016, she shot a commercial with Apple Music that saw her running on the treadmill and singing along to Drake’s hit song “Jumpman.”

Swift also revealed that she performs regardless of whether she’s “sick, injured, heartbroken, or stressed.” She makes sure to devote a full day to rest and recovery after each stop on the tour.

Given a recent video where Swift was seen sprinting into the arms of her boyfriend, NFL star Travis Kelce, after an Eras Tour show in Argentina, we think it’s safe to speculate that Swift has some running potential. Now, we just need her to qualify for the Boston Marathon
