Taylor Swift fan tackles Era's Tour regime

A Taylor Swift fan from Surrey has tackled the star's pre-tour preparation of running while singing the entire Era's Tour setlist.

Rebecca Richmond-Smith said she spotted Taylor's daily regime in Time magazine and wanted to find out how far the singer was running.

The 27-year-old from East Horsley said she was "seriously impressed" to discover the run totalled 12.6-miles (20.3km).

She said: "She's a complete machine, I can't fathom how someone can do that many songs and dances in a row, she's a professional athlete."

Taylor recently began her UK leg of the Era's tour in Edinburgh, which she told Time magazine would be "harder than anything she'd done before".

To prepare for the intense three-hour shows she told the magazine she ran on the treadmill every day while singing the entire setlist aloud.

She said she ran fast for the upbeat songs and jogged for the slow ones.

Ms Richmond-Smith, who has previously run a marathon, said: "I had a sense of her training but I wanted to experience it."

She spent a week finding 11 costumes before taking the challenge on in March.

By the second song she thought "what have I got myself into".

She completed the run in two hours and 51 minutes and shared it to her YouTube channel 'Rebs Tries It'.

She said the hardest song to run and sing to was 'We are never ever ever getting back together' off Taylor's Red album.

The easiest era was Evermore with predominantly slow songs.

She said: "But I did make it hard it on myself by wearing a ankle length dress for that era."

Ms Richmond-Smith said she has been left in awe of Taylor, who carried out the gruelling routine daily for three months.

She said: "The respect I have for her has grown even more, it is seriously impressive."
