<p id=”par-1_52″>In recent years, <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/tag/taylor-swift/?swcfpc=1″>Taylor Swift</a> and <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/tag/beyonce/?swcfpc=1″>Beyoncé</a> have put on massively successful world tours. These long shows require endurance and a great deal of preparation. Both singers rely on similar workout routines to get ready for their tours. It’s impressive enough that a professional athlete decided to try it out for himself.</p>

<p id=”par-2_18″>In <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/taylor-swift-eras-tour-most-dazzling-jaw-dropping-moments-london.html/”>her Eras Tour</a>, Swift performed for over 180 minutes a night. She spent months preparing for it.</p>
<p id=”par-3_32″>“Every day I would run on the treadmill, singing the entire set list out loud,” Swift told <a target=”_blank” href=”https://time.com/6342806/person-of-the-year-2023-taylor-swift/” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Time</a>. “Fast for fast songs, and a jog or a fast walk for slow songs.” </p>

<p id=”par-4_8″>She also focused <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/taylor-swifts-leg-workout-includes-all-of-her-favorite-things.html/”>on strength training</a> and dance.</p>
<p id=”par-5_40″>“Then I had three months of dance training, because I wanted to get it in my bones,” she said. “I wanted to be so over-rehearsed that I could be silly with the fans, and not lose my train of thought.” </p>
<p id=”par-6_9″>According to NBA player Kevin Garnett, Beyoncé trains similarly. </p>
<p id=”par-7_55″>“[Garnett] is like ‘How do you think Beyoncé’s in such great shape?’” former NBA player JJ Redick said on <em>The Bill Simmons Podcast</em> (via <a target=”_blank” href=”https://time.com/4680112/kevin-garnett-beyonce-workout/?xid=homepage” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Time</a>). “And I’m like, ‘Uhh, I don’t know.’ One time I saw her working out, and she was doing her dances and she was singing while she was doing her dancing.”</p>

<p id=”par-8_13″>After watching Beyoncé exercise, Garnett decided to <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/nba-legend-better-shape-imitating-beyonce.html/”>try out the workout</a> for himself. </p>
<p id=”par-9_52″>“So then I’m thinking to myself, maybe I should run and sing at the same time,” he said. “So in the offseason, I would go to Malibu and I would go down to the beach, and when I run on the beach I would be like ‘Lalala lalala lalala,’ while I’m running.”</p>
<p id=”par-10_15″>He found that it helped him, even if he wasn’t preparing for a world tour.</p>
<p id=”par-11_23″>“So then, when I get on the court and I’m getting back on defense and I’m talking on defense, I don’t get tired.”</p>
<h2 class=”wp-block-heading” id=”h-their-preparations-have-led-to-highly-successful-tours”>Their preparations have led to highly successful tours</h2>
<p id=”par-12_33″>The work Beyoncé and Swift did to prepare for their tours paid off. Beyoncé’s 2023 Renaissance World Tour grossed close to $600 million, making it one of the highest-grossing tours of all time. </p>

<p id=”par-13_15″>Swift’s Eras Tour made over $2 billion, making it the highest-grossing tour of all time.</p>
<p id=”par-14_85″>“We are witnessing history in the making. What Taylor Swift and The Eras Tour accomplished in 21 months across five continents before 10 million fans is extraordinary and unprecedented. The tour’s $2.2 billion estimated gross is the highest of all time and nearly doubles the second biggest tour,” Andy Gensler, the editor-in-chief of Pollstar & VenuesNow, told <a target=”_blank” href=”https://apnews.com/article/taylor-swift-eras-tour-numbers-2-billion-118a7f5ea4609c5d3072a29152e387bb” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>AP</a>. “It’s also an example of the limits this industry continues to push far past while bringing music, community, and peak life experiences to legions across the globe.”</p>
