Taylor Swift is many things: a singing-songwriting sensation, a brilliant businesswoman, and, now, TIME’s Person of the Year 2023.

During her interview with the magazine announcing the honor — which has been given to US Presidents, business magnates, and influential activists in past years — Swift detailed the training regimen that helped her prepare for “The Eras Tour.” The blockbuster tour, which kicked off this summer, includes 151 shows across five continents, each of which features a 44-song setlist spanning her entire discography.

Swift sings, dances, and struts along a stage the length of a football field throughout the sparkling 3.5-hour affair, all while sporting an array of custom Christian Louboutin heels corresponding with each “era” of her career. It is, by any standard, a remarkable athletic feat, and Swift prepared accordingly.

“Every day I would run on the treadmill, singing the entire set list out loud,” Swift told TIME. “Fast for fast songs, and a jog or a fast walk for slow songs.”

Six months before the tour began, the 33-year-old started her intensive training at Dogpound, a celebrity-laden gym in New York City. In addition to running while singing for the three-plus hour length of each show — a span comparable to the timing of a marathon — Swift said her trainers crafted a plan that also incorporated weight lifting, strength training, and other forms of conditioning.
