Succession’s Sarah Snook Reveals How Taylor Swift Helped Her Prepare for New Broadway Role

Sarah Snook took a page out of Taylor Swift‘s book when she began preparing to make her Broadway debut.

The Emmy-winning Succession actress, 37, is currently starring in The Picture of Dorian Gray on Broadway. The production is an innovative one, requiring Snook to play all 26 characters, including the title character who trades his soul for eternal youth.

Snook spoke to The New Yorker about how she keeps herself fit and healthy while having to take on such an active performance in the show — and revealed that she learned a lesson from Swift’s Eras Tour regimen.

“The show is so athletic. What is your regimen?” the magazine asked Snook.

“No alcohol, no caffeine. Sleep, sleep, sleep, sleep. And I do my lines at pace on a treadmill, you know,” she replied, before the outlet likened the routine to Swift’s viral tour workout.

“I heard that and thought, ‘That’s a genius idea,’ ” Snook said of Swift’s workout regimen. “I’m gonna do that.”

In an interview with Time last year, Swift, 35, confirmed that she began a rigorous workout routine six months prior to her first Eras Tour show in March 2023. Her viral routine included singing the full setlist from the tour while running on the treadmill.

Swift said she would run ”fast for fast songs, and a jog or a fast walk for slow songs” to prepare for her three-hour sets.

The pop superstar also shared that she would have “dead days” in between shows, where she would rest up as much as possible. She also revealed that she doesn’t drink while on tour and that she was “working out in between shows [in order to] keep my strength and stamina up,” especially when performing multiple days in a row.

“I do not leave my bed except to get food and take it back to my bed and eat it there,” Swift told Time of her days off. “It’s a dream scenario, [and] I can barely speak because I’ve been singing for three shows straight. Every time I take a step, my feet go crunch, crunch, crunch from dancing in heels. But it’s the most fulfilled I’ve ever felt.”
