She then adds, “This is the proudest and happiest I’ve ever felt, and the most creatively fulfilled and free I’ve ever been. Ultimately, we can convolute it all we want, or try to overcomplicate it, but there’s only one question. Are you not entertained?”

Swift also opened up about her experience during her tour- which has become the highest-grossing and most successful tour of the year, with its concert film being the highest-grossing concert film of all time, and reigning at the box office this year.
About her experience, she says, “I knew this tour was harder than anything I’d ever done before by a long shot.”
“Every day I would run on the treadmill, singing the entire set list out loud. Fast for fast songs, and a jog or a fast walk for slow songs. Then I had three months of dance training, because I wanted to get it in my bones,” she says. “I wanted to be so over-rehearsed that I could be silly with the fans, and not lose my train of thought. Learning choreography is not my strong suit” she added, she took dance lessons from Mandy Moore- who was recommended to her by her friend Emma Stone.
She also revealed that she had quit drinking. “Doing that show with a hangover. I don’t want to know that world.”
“They had to work really hard to get the tickets,” she says, talking about the difficulty of bagging an Eras Tour ticket. “I wanted to play a show that was longer than they ever thought it would be, because that makes me feel good leaving the stadium.”
She ends the interview with a promise of producing some killer vault tracks for ‘Reputation (Taylor’s Version).’ She says the upcoming vault tracks for Reputation will be “fire.”
“I’m collecting horcruxes,” she says. “I’m collecting infinity stones. Gandalf’s voice is in my head every time I put out a new one. For me, it is a movie now.”
