If Taylor Swift hates working out, does that mean we can, too?

Like every other Swiftie in the world, we’re glued to her new six-episode docuseries on Disney+, which dives into every detail of the Eras Tour. You’d think a hardcore Swiftie would know everything about our queen, but you’d be wrong.

In the first episode, we saw heartbreaking scenes as Swift met with survivors and families of the victims of the Southport attack backstage at her Wembley shows.

We also get insights into her tour life, from allowing dancer Whyley Yoshimura to join the all-female group for …Ready For It? to her very relatable experience of getting dumped twice during the first leg of the tour — “men will let you down, the Eras Tour never will.”

But another of Taylor’s reveals shaking up social media? The brutal workout regime Swift followed to get tour-ready. She’s previously mentioned singing songs while sprinting on a treadmill — a concept we simply cannot fathom. This time, though, she admits she hated it. And honestly, if Taylor Swift can hate working out, maybe it’s finally okay for the rest of us too. Sign us up.

Even non-Swifties have to admit that the Eras Tour is a physical feat like no other. Swift spent three hours per night singing and dancing — simultaneously. Rarely has another artist performed for three hours straight, night after night. This was also Swift’s biggest challenge yet; she explained that before this tour, her longest concert had been two hours and fifteen minutes. Those extra forty-five minutes make all the difference.

Speaking to late-night host Jimmy Fallon earlier this month, she revealed that there were several nights she performed while battling a stomach bug, and her fans had no idea. She made it her mission to give it her all every night of the global tour.

“I never would’ve believed you if you told me we were doing a three-and-a-half-hour show,” Swift said. “Saying it is one thing, doing it is another,” said Swift.

“Six months ahead of my first rehearsal, [I was] running on the treadmill every day to the tempo of the songs I was playing while singing them out loud,” Swift explained. “You don’t want them to see you panting.”

Running to the beats of her albums 1989 and Reputation was “high cardio,” Swift revealed. “Everything is hard when you’re scaling a stage that goes the entire length of an NFL stadium — I ran eight miles,” she shared.
