A Day In The Life Of...
7:00 am - play with cats
Yep. It’s true. Taylor wakes up every day to make sure
she spends time with her cats. Swift is an early-riser, of
course. After waking up in her New York apartment, she
immediately goes to make tea, eat some toast, and, of
course, play with cats Meredith and Olivia. The two need
some attention after a long night, and she makes sure that
each of them feels loved and attended to before heading
out.
8:30 am - work out
Getting exercise is very important to Swift, and she
makes sure she has enough time to get to the gym and
look polished before heading back out. So what if people
make fun of her post-gym blown-out hair? She looks
good, and she knows it.
10:00 am - brunch with Karlie and Lily
Swift, a big fan of anything considered a
New York “must,” loves getting brunch. On
a typical day, she invites several of her
closest friends to join, including Karlie
Kloss and Lily Aldridge, NYC regulars.
They drink mimosas and swap stories
about their nights.
12:00 pm - call mom and dad
You just know Swift is the kind of
person who calls her parents on
the regular. With her being on the
road all the time, not to
mention living on her
own, it would make
sense that she would miss
them. Plus, she says that
they keep her sane
when everything
starts to get a little
crazy in her not so
normal life.
12:30 pm - meet with studio execs.
Swift is already meeting with executives from her record
label to go over song choices and themes for the 1989
follow-up.
2:30 pm - bake treats for the neighbors
Mid-afternoon is prime baking time, and Swift makes a
batch of Ina Garten-approved cookies each day that she
promptly delivers to her neighbors and various strangers.
4:00 pm - Skype with Calvin Harris
They may be apart more often than they’d like, but the
couple always finds time to squeeze in a Skype session.
Unsurprisingly, it’s adorable.
5:00 pm - rehearse for the night’s concert
AKA sound-check a few songs while hanging out with
HAIM and posting Instas of the empty arena.
7:00 pm - quick dinner with Selena
Gomez, tells Swift about her latest relationship
problems, prompting the “Style” singer to
give a “you shouldn’t be treated like this”
lecture that she decides to work into
her tour that night.
9:00 pm - go on stage
Swift’s 1989 tour goes perfectly
smoothly, thanks to crowd-pleasing
special guests (who knew she was
friends with Cher, Springsteen,
and the two remaining Beatles?)
and the Gomez-inspired
speech.
12:00 am - meet fans
She loves this part of the day
most!
1:30 am - go to sleep
Finally!
