From singing cardio sessions to completing her alcohol withdrawal, Taylor Swift has been working hard to ensure she stays fit for her ongoing Eras Tour.
The pop star, 34, is currently taking a break from the international leg of her sold-out tour and has been pictured enjoying a romantic getaway with boyfriend Travis Kelce in the Bahamas.
The thirteen-time Grammy Award winner showed off her toned figure as she donned a stylish yellow bikini on the beach.
The Blank Space singer wore her long blonde hair in a high ponytail and was seen frolicking in the sea with Travis before lounging on the sand.
The artist has previously spoken about the great lengths she has put into her fitness regime to ensure she can always perform her three and a half hour shows, which often fall on consecutive nights.

By the time her Eras tour ends in Vancouver in December, Taylor will have visited five continents and played 152 shows.
Here, FEMAIL delves into Taylor Swift’s fitness secrets – from strength training to her intense dance routines.
Singing on treadmills
In December 2023, Taylor Swift defeated King Charles and Vladimir Putin to be named Time Magazine’s Person of the Year – after Eras Tour earned her billionaire status.
In the accompanying interview, the star revealed that ahead of the global tour she knew it would be “harder than anything she had ever done before” and started training six months in advance.
As such, the star and her trainers decided to increase her cardio to increase Taylor’s overall fitness level.
She told me publication: ‘Every day I ran on the treadmill and sang the entire set list out loud.
“Fast for fast songs, and jog or walk for slow songs.”

Taylor has previously spoken openly about enjoying running and listening to upbeat music.
She told WebMD in 2010, “For me, running is about blasting a bunch of new songs and running to the beat. It’s also good because it means I can find a gym anywhere.”
If her 2016 Apple Music ad is to be believed, this has long been part of Taylor’s workouts.
In April 2016, Taylor famously starred in an ad for Apple Music, where she fell off a treadmill after happily singing along to her playlist.
Taylor, who was 26 at the time and dressed in workout clothes and full makeup for the ad, first complains in a voiceover, “Man, I hate cardio.”
She then uses her fancy iPhone to pick out the perfect workout song, follows the suggestions and chooses Jumpman by Drake And Future.
After enthusiastically singing along to a song, Taylor appears to hit the treadmill’s moving belt before being thrown off the machine – which the star says happened to her in real life.
Taylor herself posted the video on Instagram and tagged it: “Based on true events. #TAYLORvsTREADMILL’.
Three months of dance training

Elsewhere in her interview with Time, Taylor revealed that she had undergone three months of intensive dance training for the Eras Tour.
She explained, “I wanted to get it into my bones. I wanted to overrehearse so much that I could be crazy to the fans and not lose my train of thought.”
Although the star admitted that choreography wasn’t her “strong point,” Taylor said Mandy Moore “completely changed her relationship” with dancing.
Speaking to Dance Dish, Mandy explained how she spent 10 days with Taylor in Phoenix ahead of the first show where they ‘blocked’ performances.
Discussing the difficulties they faced, the choreographer explained: ‘In three days we barely got through the 46 songs and it’s also a video floor, so there was no way to score points (…)
“(Taylor) is a superstar. She works her butt off, she’s not afraid to get written up if she messes up.”
Additionally, the tour’s choreography has proven so popular that fans have started learning it for shows.
Weight training

In recent years, Taylor Swift has been spotted leaving Body by Simone – a gym founded by Australian personal trainer Simone De La Rue.
The gym endorses the ‘BBS’ method (Body by Simone), a mix of high-intensity dancing and strength training.
In May 2019, the singer was also pictured taking part in a late night gym session in West Hollywood while working on her Lover album.
The singer showed off her long legs in black shorts as she worked out in trainers at The Dogpound.
In her interview with Time, Taylor revealed that she also has to factor in workouts on days when she isn’t performing.‘
Explaining how exercise has become an important part of her routine, she added: ‘I know I’m going to get on that stage whether I’m sick, injured, heartbroken, uncomfortable or stressed.
‘That is now part of my identity as a human being. If someone buys a ticket for my show, I’m going to play it, unless there is force majeure.’
Give up alcohol

Furthermore, Taylor’s slim figure is also partly due to the fact that she no longer drinks alcohol.
In her Time interview, the star revealed that she doesn’t like drinking during the busiest periods of the tour.
She added: “Doing that show with a hangover, I don’t want to know that world.
“I was very disciplined about drinking.”
However, Taylor made an exception at the Grammys in February, where she took home her fourth Album of the Year award.
In the Bahamas, Taylor and Travis were spotted splashing around in the turquoise waters together and laying on the sand working on their tans.
At one point, the pop star planted a sweet kiss on her boyfriend’s lips and at another, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end lovingly wrapped his arm around her shoulders.

It looked like they were spending the day on a private part of the beach as no other tourists were seen around them.
After lounging on the sand, the couple entered the water hand in hand.
The two stars giggled together as they cooled off in the sea, and at one point Taylor excitedly opened her mouth in response to something Travis told her.
During the first few months of their romance, Taylor and Travis spent much of their time flying to see each other amid their busy schedules.
But things have slowed down for them lately, as her final leg of the Cruel Summer singer’s “Eras Tour” ended in early March and the athlete’s soccer season came to an end last month.
After a wild six months full of busy schedules, constant travel and cameras surrounding her every move, the couple was said to be planning to ‘play house’ at her $25 million Beverly Hills mansion.
“They enjoy movie nights in her home theater and catch up on movies and shows they missed,” an insider shared. We weekly earlier this month.
‘They can finally rest and plan to spend quality time together and with friends and family.
“This is the first time they have no obligations and they are both really looking forward to being a normal couple and playing around the house.”
