Taylor Swift conquered the world with her Eras Tour this year!

I’m such a fan, and I’m sure so many of you are too! This incredible 33y/o pop superstar has had more No. 1 albums on the Billboard 200 over the course of her career than any other woman!

Taylor is such an inspirational and talented young woman and I thought you lovelies might be interested to hear how she stays fit and healthy.

Taylor’s been in the public eye for more than 15 years now but recently she’s become more and more open about her diet and workout routine.

She even talked about her struggles with body image in the Miss Americana documentary. I really appreciate her honesty and I’m so glad to hear she’s doing much better now.

Here’s what I learned about Taylor Swift’s diet and fitness routine.

Hope you enjoy it! xx

TAYLOR SWIFT’S DIET AND WORKOUT ROUTINE

TAYLOR SWIFT’S DIET – ALL I COULD FIND

If you’ve been a long-term fan like me and you’ve followed her on Instagram back in the day, you probably remember some of her IG recipes. Unfortunately, she deleted all of her old posts in 2017 right before dropping her wildly successful comeback album Reputation.

But yeah, her old IG posts definitely suggest Taylor is a big foodie. She loves to cook and bake for her friends and she likes to try out new recipes. Just look at this clip from Selena Gomez’s cooking show (Selene is one of Taylor’s best friends). Selena made some awesome-looking breakfast tacos and Taylor immediately asked for a recipe.

During the week, she sticks to yogurt, sandwiches, and salads as reported by WebMD. Over the weekend, she might enjoy burgers and fries, ice cream, or any baked goods (especially cookies!).

One of her favorite treats has been chai sugar cookies, she found the recipe on this blog and adapted them. In 2014, she even invited some of her biggest fans to her mom’s house and baked these cookies for them.

SHE FOLLOWS COMMON SENSE

Taylor’s biggest food rule is no sugary drinks. She tries to avoid any sweet beverages like soda. She sticks to a skinny vanilla latte at Starbucks, and she says she drinks about 10 bottles of water a day. Her dressing room is always full of water!

Otherwise, Taylor doesn’t want to give herself too many food rules. Instead, she tries to eat with common sense. She says she knows what’s good for her body, and she tries to eat intuitively based on that self-knowledge.

Eating intuitively often means asking questions like:

  • How will this food make my body feel? Will I feel sugared out, bloated, or lethargic?
  • What other sugar or junk food have I had recently?
  • Am I really hungry or am I just bored?
  • What does my body need: protein, veggies, or something else?

TAYLOR’S FAVORITE MEALS FOR BREAKFAST, LUNCH, AND DINNER

BREAKFAST

For breakfast, she often has a chia seeds pudding. She likes to add them to yogurt and smoothies for breakfast or snacks. Chia seeds are one of my favorite ingredients for a healthy breakfast too!

She also likes to drink a glass of orange juice in the morning.

LUNCH

Lunch often means a big salad or sandwich. While touring, Taylor needs to keep her energy up. This lunch gives her a healthy boost of energy and nutrition to keep her healthy.

DINNER

For dinner, Taylor loves to make chicken or pasta. Here’s what she said to Elle magazine, I’ve always cooked a LOT, but I found three recipes I know I’ll be making at dinner parties for life: Ina Garten’s Real Meatballs and Spaghetti (I just use packaged bread crumbs and only ground beef for meat), Nigella Lawson’s Mughlai Chicken, and Jamie Oliver’s Chicken Fajitas with Molé Sauce.

In her 73 questions with Vogue, she also mentioned she loves chicken tenders so much she could eat them every day. She recently had them while watching Travis Kelce’s football game ;)

DOES TAYLOR SWIFT DRINK ALCOHOL?

Yup, Taylor is a white wine kind of girl, judging by her Instagram and her recent appearance at Jack Antonoff’s wedding (Jack is Taylor’s long-term collaborator).

In her Interview with Elle Magazin, she mentioned that she likes to make some simple cocktails like like Pimm’s cups, Aperol spritzes, Old-Fashioneds, and Mojitos. As she said, she learned how to make them during 2016 and that whole Kim and Kanye drama.

DOES TAYLOR SWIFT DRINK COFFEE?

Yes, Taylor is a Starbucks lover herself. ;) Her fave, especially in fall is, of course, the famous pumpkin spice latte.

TAYLOR SWIFT’S WORKOUT ROUTINE

Working out serves many purposes for Taylor. Of course, exercising keeps her looking good. But it also helps her coordination and endurance, things that are so important for her when she performs! I mean, just look at her on the Eras Tour! She’s been dancing and singing for 3 hours almost every night since March. You got a bit in shape to be able to do that! :)

Here’s how she stays in shape:

DANCE-BASED CARDIO

Taylor loves attending the New York studio Body by Simone (some Victoria’s Secret models also like to train here!).

At this studio, trainer Simone De La Rue combines HIIT dance workouts with bodyweight exercises. This means that Taylor gets in her cardio, which she needs for both performing and burning calories!

She also gets in a good resistance workout. Resistance training is important for keeping your body strong and for looking toned. Taylor’s always been tall and slim. The strength exercises that she does give her the strength to dance and be a powerful presence on the stage!

HER GO-TO WORKOUT

This workout, created by Simone De La Rue, is full of cardio moves, bodyweight exercises, and yoga-inspired stretches to tone the body in multiple ways.

Here’s what the workout consists of:

  • Jumping lunges
  • Pushup shoulder taps
  • Side plank oblique crunch
  • Left leg kickbacks (On all fours, bring your knee up to your shoulder. Kick back behind you).
  • Right leg kickbacks
  • Explosive jumps
  • Left side leg lifts
  • Right side leg lifts
  • Leg-only back bows
  • Arm-only back bows
  • Back bows – arms and legs
  • Side torso stretch
  • Cat cow stretch
  • Downward dog stretch
  • Arm reach stretch

This workout takes about 20 minutes. Feel free to repeat it for a more intense routine!

SHE LOVES RUNNING!

It’s hard to find time to work out on tour. Taylor likes to do bodyweight workouts like the one above to stay in shape while she’s traveling. These are great because she can do them in a hotel gym or even in her hotel room!

But Taylor also really likes to go for runs when she’s on tour or just traveling for fun. Running helps her stretch out her legs after a long flight or bus ride, and it is also a great cardio workout. (I love running for fat loss!)

Taylor also loves running too. Running gives her the chance to get in an intense workout. However, it also helps her to unwind. She gets to listen to new music and take time for herself.

Taylor enjoys running when she visits a new city. It lets her take in her new environment, plus she uses it as a way to get over jetlag.

TAYLOR’S ATTITUDE TOWARD HER OWN BODY

Taylor has the world’s attention. She’s one of the most influential artists of our time, and that must be an amazing amount of pressure. I love the way that Taylor takes care of herself while also showing up regularly for her fans.

Part of taking care of herself is taking care of her body. She needs to stay in good shape to be able to live the lifestyle that she does. Eating well and exercising are key to being able to perform on stage and handle a busy schedule of touring.

But taking care of herself also means loving herself. It means baking cookies and cooking meals for her loved ones. It means accepting her body the way it is!

That’s hard to do, and Taylor admits that. She says that, over time, she’s learned to stop hating any ounce of fat on her body and to allow herself to age. She works on accepting herself and her body every day. I’m sure that we could all work to accept ourselves too! What an inspiration! <3
