Chef Duff Goldman Imitates Taylor Swift’s Workout Routine Amid Band Performance Prep

Duff Goldman, the renowned Food Network chef, has been embracing a rigorous exercise regimen inspired by pop star Taylor Swift’s well-known tour preparation methods. While practicing for his band Foie Grock’s upcoming performance at the International Baking Industry Exposition in Las Vegas this September, Goldman shared his progress on social media.

Goldman posted a video of himself on a treadmill, strumming a guitar, jokingly claiming he’s “basically @taylorswift,” after hearing that Swift prepared for her Eras Tour by doing her entire set on a treadmill daily. The video features him playing guitar while walking, set against Bryan Adams’ “Run to You.”

He explained that he’s been following Swift’s intense workout approach, which includes singing her complete setlist aloud while walking or jogging on a treadmill. “I feel like I’m probably burning serious calories,” he added, noting that playing bass while walking also makes him sweat. Goldman commented that the combination of physical activity and mental engagement makes him feel like he’s burning a lot of energy.

He also mentioned that hearing about Swift’s routine from his wife, Johnna, motivated him to try it. “There’s no question Taylor Swift is one of the hardest working artists ever,” Goldman said, adding that seeing her perform on a treadmill was truly inspiring.

In another post, Goldman shared a clip of himself playing music while exercising, expressing excitement for his upcoming appearance at the Baking Expo. He noted, “I’m a walking montage. See you in September!”

Goldman’s dedication echoes Swift’s own revelations about her workout during her tour. The singer revealed she trained by running on the treadmill daily, singing her full setlist aloud—adjusting her speed based on song tempo, from fast sprints to brisk walks. Her disciplined routine, which she shared in December 2023, showcased her intense preparation for the demanding tour schedule.
