TAYLOR SWIFT

Taylor Swift’s training for her performances is intense, focusing on strength and conditioning during the off-season. On tour, she maintains her fitness with biweekly sessions for stability and mobility.

Taylor builds stamina by running while singing her set list. She also works on breathing techniques to strengthen her core, embracing resilience in both her training and mindset.
