In 2023, Taylor Swift took the world by surprise with her groundbreaking Eras Tour. So far, it spanned over eight months with 66 sold-out shows across the Americas. The pop sensation, aiming to “superserve the fans,” performed over 40 songs each night in over 3 hours of non-stop performance. But really, how did Swift rehearse the iconic Eras tour?

In an interview with TIME Magazine as the 2023 Person of the Year, Swift reveals she rehearsed for the Eras tour six months prior. With Swift adopting a disciplined routine. This included daily treadmill runs while singing the entire setlist, a specialized strength and conditioning program at Dogpound gym, and three months of dance lessons. Collaborating with choreographer Mandy Moore, Swift sought to incorporate elements of Broadway and create a cinematic experience for the audience.

“They had to work really hard to get the tickets,” she said. “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.”

With more additional shows to come, the tour is a testament to Swift's commitment to excellence.
