And I do my lines at pace on a treadmill, you know.” Upon hearing Snook’s explanation, the interviewer instantly pointed out the similarities between her and Taylor Swift’s approach while preparing for the Eras Tour. Snook acknowledged taking inspiration from the pop icon, saying, “I heard that and thought, ‘That’s a genius idea.’ I’m gonna do that.”

As per the “Bad Blood” singer, she sang the entire song line-up for her concerts while sweating it out on a treadmill.
