Taylor Swift works out to improve her "endurance" on stage.
The svelte blonde beauty has admitted to disliking her punishing spin classes at the gym but explained that they have helped her deal with her crazy dance routines.
The 'Shake It Off' singer said: "I work out. I do spin classes, which are hard and I don't like doing them but I like how I feel afterwards. The reason I work out is because I work out is because I want to have endurance and I want to be able to hop on stage and sing a song and dance and not be winded."
When she isn't working or in the gym, Taylor, 24, loves indulging in some retail therapy or decorating her home.
When asked what she gets up to in her spare time, she said: "I enjoy shopping of course - I am female! And I've enjoyed furnishing my new place and working through the rooms to give each an individual feel. Whichever country I am in, I will try and see some of the city I am staying in and try and shop, though the busier I am, the more difficult this gets."
Taylor also shared how her retro-inspired album '1989' has changed the way she approaches getting ready.
She told Britain's HELLO! magazine: "I think there was a freedom to the clothes then and I see how that era had inspired modern fashion trends. So I'm wearing shorter skirts and things I would never have worn three years ago."

Rochelle Humes shops more for her daughter than herself.
The Saturdays singer loves exploring independent retail outlets but admits she is more likely to come home with garments for 18-month-old Alaia-Mai - her child with husband Marvin Humes - than to put in her own wardrobe.
She said: "I love little boutiques, they always have great cute things you've never seen before. I shop for [Alaia-Mai] more than I shop for myself."
The 25-year-old beauty is back in shape after having her daughter, but insists she took it easy after giving birth and allowed her body to naturally lose weight.
She said: "It's important not to stress out about it. You think that as soon as you've had the baby you need to go back to normal straight away, but my mum says it takes nine months to make a baby so it will take at least nine months to lose the weight. Take every day as it comes and make sure you feel comfortable, as your body does change."
Despite always looking glamorous, the 'Up' hitmaker insists she doesn't take too long getting ready.
She told Britain's OK! magazine: "I tend to wash my hair twice a week so my hair is always ready. Then make-up on top of that - I'd say about an hour."

Jessica Biel and Justin Timberlake are planning to move to his hometown of Memphis, Tennessee.
The couple are said to be expecting their first child together and are eager to raise their family away from the spotlight so want to leave Los Angeles.
A source said: "Justin and Jessica want their kids to have a hometown and a family base, and they definitely don't want to raise them in Los Angeles.
"Being near Justin's hometown is ideal because his mom, Lynn,
is even more excited about this baby than they are - and Justin's grandmother Sadie is on cloud nine.
"Justin's used to living in a small town and says he had a great childhood because of it."
Jessica, whose family live in the picturesque Boulder, Colorado, and was born in Minnesota, is more than happy to leave Hollywood behind.
The source told America's OK! magazine: "Jessica can't stand the obnoxious attitudes of kids in Hollywood. She wants her children to have good values and a sense of community."
The couple are said to have wanted a baby for some time, but wanted to wait until Justin had completed his '20/20 Experience World Tour'.
An insider previously said: "Contractually, he was obligated to do the tour, but he promised they could start a family when it ended."

Benji Madden gave Cameron Diaz a $25,000 black opal.
The 35-year-old rocker reportedly missed the 'Sex Tape' actress so much while he was touring Australia recently that he splashed out on the rare gemstone to show her how much she means to him.
A source said: "Cam thinks the opal is the most beautiful thing she's ever seen. She absolutely loves it."
The former Good Charlotte star decided to pick up the gift, which was sourced from an Australian mine, after being "amazed" at how the "deep-blue stone matched her eyes."
The couple got together in May after being introduced by Nicole Richie, who is married to Benji's twin brother Joel Madden.
Asked if she set them up, she previously said: "Yes. I'm going to take responsibility for everything!"
A source previously claimed they quietly got engaged recently and are planning to marry in the Napa Valley, California in the near future.
However, Cameron, 42, recently insisted: "I'm not looking for a husband or marriage or not not looking for that stuff. I'm living, not thinking what I should or shouldn't be doing with my life."

Myleene Klass was "heartbroken" to discover Benedict Cumberbatch was engaged.
The television personality was distraught when she found out the 'Sherlock' actor had proposed to his girlfriend Sophie Hunter, as she admits she's "in love" with his on-screen persona.
When Myleene - who divorced husband and father of her two daughters, Ava, seven, and Hero, three, Graham Quinn in 2013 - was asked who she would like to kiss under the mistletoe this Christmas, she shared: "I was a total Cumberbitch, so my heart broke the day I found out Benedict Cumberbatch is engaged. I actually think it's 'Sherlock' I'm in love with. I like them a bit odd, a bit quirky. The fact that he's a fictional character is a minor problem. Love will conquer all!"
However, the Littlewoods clothing designer revealed she already has her sights set on another famous actor.
As she shared her Christmas list, Myleene joked to OK! magazine: "[I want] Leonardo DiCaprio, a new bag and a really happy Christmas with my girls, watching them open their presents."

Mickey Rourke won his boxing match against Elliot Seymour.
The actor, 62, returned to the ring in Moscow, Russia, on Friday evening (28.11.14) to compete in an exhibition fight against a 29-year-old competitor, who he defeated in the second round.
Wearing a Stetson hat, a red and gold robe and shiny gold gloves, Mickey - who has been dating Russian model Anastassija Makarenko since 2011 - sent Elliot to the canvas twice before the fight was stopped and he was declared victorious.
The match was the star's first fight in more than 20 years, after deciding to focus on his acting career with films such as 'The Wrestler' and 'The Expendables', but said returning to the ring has helped him deal with his personal issues.
He explained: "I've got some things going on in my life so that [boxing has] sort of saved me from myself,
"And for a man like me, it's better to live in fear than go on in shame."
Having trained as an amateur boxer as a youngster, the star returned to the sport in the 1990s for three years, and boasts a career in which he went undefeated in eight fights. However, the star quit the sport following a number of facial injuries for which he required surgery.
After confirming his return to the sport on Friday, the Oscar winning actor - who shed 35lbs in preparation for the match - is expected to announce several more matches in the Russian capital in the coming months.

Earlier this month, Taylor Lianne Chandler - who was born with parts of female and male genitalia - claimed to have had an affair with the Olympic swimmer, but the 29-year-old sportsman has now reconnected with his ex-girlfriend following the short-lived romance.
Instagram images posted to former Miss America, Nicole Johnson's account, now suggests the couple have rekindled their love and have been spending lots of time together.
In the caption of a selfie featuring the 22-medal Olympian taken earlier this week, she wrote: "Out with my grizzlyman @m_phelps00 #datenight #nerds #movietime. (sic)"
On Thursday, she returned to show another snap of the pair, this time with friends and members of Michael's family, with whom she spent Thanksgiving.
She wrote: "So #thankful for each of the people in this photo@hilary_phelps, whit, @m_phelps00, @dougeldridgemissing the parents @mamaphelpsh20@annettejohnsoncoss @douginla & dougs mama #family #eastcoastlove #happiness (sic)."
News that the couple have reignited their love comes just days after his short-term fling admitted they are no longer an item, and spoke about how she had originally connected with the stud through the dating app Tinder.
She told The Daily Beast: "He pursued me [on Tinder]. He was actually outside the age range for what my account was set-up for. But what I've learned is when someone looks at whatever and likes you, even if they're younger it shows up in your feed."

Rob Kardashian has launched his own range of loungewear.
The 27-year-old entrepreneur set up his sock company, Arthur George, in 2012 and has now expanded the venture by adding a range of items, including a onesie, with sister Khloe Kardashian vocalising her support for the fashion foray on her Instagram.
Captioning a split-image of three of the items on her Instagram, his 30-year-old sister wrote: "So proud of you Rob!!!!! @arthurgeorge87loungewear by @robkardashian just landed at Macy's! Make sure you go to AGloungewear.com to see the list of store locations. You deserve all the success in the world! (sic)."
Other members of his family also expressed their happiness about the troubled television personality moving forward with his business, with his other sisters Kim Kardashian West and Kourtney Kardashian tweeting links to his range.
The unveiling of his line of loungewear is the former 'Keeping Up With The Kardashians' star's first public move in several months, following a struggle with depression which has seen him withdraw from the family's television show, and avoid celebrity events.
In May, the former model - who has struggled with his image over the years - missed Kim's wedding to 'Bound 2' rapper Kanye West in Florence, Italy, due to insecurities about his weight.
Speaking on her reality television show in an episode broadcast in September, Kim said: "When Rob flew to Paris he read some nasty comments about himself and he just didn't feel comfortable. He didn't want to see all my guests. It makes me so sad for him. It's heartbreaking. It really is. I don't want to think about it. I don't want to talk about it."

Kate Hudson and Cara Delevingne celebrated Thanksgiving with a dance-off.
The two friends took to Instagram to take up a challenge set by 'Dancing with the Stars' duo Julianne and Derek Hough, which saw the pair dancing to Mark Ronson's collaboration with Bruno Mars, 'Uptown Funk', in four short clips.
In the videos, Kate and her 22-year-old pal can be seen emerging from behind some curtains and busting some moves while the 'Wish I Was Here' star's brothers Oliver and Wyatt, her mother's partner Kurt Russell, and his son Boston, sat on a sofa tapping their feet.
The 35-year-old actress was joined by her mother, Goldie Hawn, to celebrate the North American holiday, but the 69-year-old star was less willing to show off her dancing ability, and instead chose to film the hilarious snippets.
Adding a caption to one of the clips, Kate wrote: "And that's my Mum counting us in in the background,"
While Kate's fiancé, Muse frontman Matt Bellamy, was no where to be seen, the star enjoyed herself making the videos, with latter clips showing the family break out their freestyle moves.
Signing off with a caption on the fourth video, the mother-of-two sent her well-wishes to her 407,000 followers.
The Golden Globe winner wrote: "Happy Thanksgiving everyone! From our family to yours, peace and love @juleshough@caradelevingne #lovemyfamily #UptownFunk #markronson #thanksgivingdancewars #dancebattle #SuchABlast (sic)."
Other stars to have taken up the challenge from the dancing duo included actress Maria Menounos and 'Dancing with the Stars' finalist, Sadie Robertson.

Piers Morgan has slammed Shia LaBeouf after he claimed he was raped.
The outspoken television personality blasted the 28-year-old in a series of tweets after Shia said he had been sexually assaulted while taking part in an art exhibition titled '#IAMSORRY', earlier this year.
Taking to the social network on Friday night (28.11.14), he wrote: "Shia LaBeouf's claim to have been 'raped' is truly pathetic & demeans real rape victims. Grow up, you silly little man."
The supposed incident took place in February when he took part in the Los Angeles exhibition which saw him sitting in silence with a paper bag on his head while strangers came and sat with him. However, the star recently recalled one particularly unpleasant experience during the five-day art installation in which he received unwelcome sexual advances.
He told a Dazed & Confused journalist: "One woman who came with her boyfriend, who was outside the door when this happened, whipped my legs for ten minutes and then stripped my clothing and proceeded to rape me."
Following his original tweet about Shia's encounter, the 49-year-old journalist was sent several messages condemning the comments, but stood by his view the 'Fury' actor had made up the allegations.
He continued: "A Hollywood actor sitting with a paper bag over his head who did nothing as he claims a woman 'raped' him has not been raped. #labeouf"
In a final tweet about the 'Nymphomaniac' star - who is currently dating actress Mia Goth - the former 'Piers Morgan Live' host branded the claims as an "utterly shameful" PR stunt.
He added: "People are actually defending Shia LaBeouf. The world's gone mad. He's invented a supposed 'rape' for cheap PR - utterly shameful."

Busta Rhymes suffered a head injury last Friday (21.11.14) after falling off stage.
The 42-year-old rapper was making a surprise appearance at New York's Webster Hall where fellow rapper O.T. Genasis was performing, when he accidentally nose-dived into the crowd and was left with blood running down his face.
Following the incident, the 'Gimme Some More' hitmaker was taken backstage for medical treatment but did not re-emerge after the incident, gossip website TMZ reports.
Busta - whose real name is Trevor Tahiem Smith, Jr. - has now taken to Twitter to assure fans he is well, claiming he has suffered much worse injuries during his extensive career.
He wrote: "I SALUTE ALL CALLS FRM FAMILY AND FRIENDS MAKIN' SURE I'M GOOD. JUST 4 THE RECORD I'M SUPER GOOD!! WHEN U LOVE WHAT U DO AND UR PASSIONATE..
"AND UR PASSIONATE ABOUT WINNING U GO HARD!!! WE DONE FELL OFF STAGES AND BROKE LIMBS WHILE PERFORMING AND KEPT GONG!!! WE STAY ON LEVEL 10.. (sic)."
In further messages, the star - who has children T'Ziah, T'Khi, Trillian and Mariah - said the unfortunate fall wouldn't stop him from continuing to make music.
"WE ALWAYS WILL BE ON 10!! WE JUST TOOK 1 STEP 2 FAR OFF THE STAGE AND THAT WAS IT!! S**T HAPPENS BUT I LOVE IT CAUSE WE LIVE IT!!
"WE WILL NEVER STOP DOING WHAT WE'VE ALWAYS DONE AND THAT'S DOING WHAT WE LOVE!!! SMASHIN' & KILLIN' S**T!!! BLESS UP #THECONGLOMERATE!! (sic)"

Niall Horan has taken up cooking.
The 21-year-old One Direction member has been brushing up on his culinary skills with the help of a recipe book from celebrity chef, Jamie Oliver, in the hope of impressing future girlfriends.
When asked about his ideal date, the heartthrob said: "I've just started getting into cooking now, so come round to my house and I'll cook for you. I have 'Jamie Oliver's 15-Minute Meals' [cookbook] and it's good."
The star - who recently picked up three American Music Awards with his bandmates Zayn Malik, Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson and Liam Payne - revealed the lamb mince-based meal, shepherd's pie, is his favourite dinner to whip up when he has time off, but admitted he probably wouldn't be cooking for his bandmates any time soon because they tend not to spend their free time together.
Talking on Australian chat-show, 'A Current Affair', he explained: "On our time off we just like to chill and not really do much. We figured out recently that, it's not a conscious decision, but we don't really see each other on our time off, because we don't get that much time at home, so when we do go home it's family time, not friends time."
Despite their busy schedule which Niall admitted hasn't allowed him to properly hone his cooking skills, Louis said they are still enjoying their time in the band, having just released their fourth album in as many years.
He added: "We're really happy. We're just taking one step at a time. We're really enjoying it while it's great now, and we're just going to hopefully enjoy it and see where that takes us."
