Howard Stern was seriously impressed with Taylor Swift and her work ethic after watching The Eras Tour documentary on Disney+. The shock jock discussed the documentary on the January 26 episode of his SiriusXM radio show.

“I even got exhausted for her,” Stern admitted in a clip shared on YouTube. “She goes, ‘I’m releasing my new album, then she’s on the phone with her boyfriend, but then she’s in rehearsals with Ed Sheeran and she’s learning new guitar parts, and then they change the choreography and they change the outfits,” Stern said.

He was clearly wowed by Swift’s work ethic, performing in the rain, singing for three and a half hours, and then entertaining her family and friends back stage.

“I’m like, oh my God. How is she doing—I can’t—she’s like super girl or something,” Stern said, adding that when he finishes recording his show, he takes “a nap.”

Indeed Swift is known to be a force when it comes to work. From writing songs to producing chart-topping albums, she approaches every project with meticulous attention to detail. Her dedication extends beyond the studio—she rehearses tirelessly for tours, engages on a deep level with her fans, and still has plenty of time to perfect her sourdough recipe. It’s impressive, to say the least.

Plenty of her fans have been in awe of Swift’s dedication to her craft, with some sharing their feelings on social media sites, like Reddit.

“The biggest thing I want to learn more about, is how she finishes ideas so quickly! She says she wants to capitalize on the excitement. Everyone who works with her says she just gets songs done so fast. Idk how I feel like I’m such a slow person,” one fan commented on a thread about Swift in 2024.

“I’m amazed by her work ethic and would love to hear more about how she manages her time and creative process. Understanding the timeline and process behind her re-recordings would be especially fascinating. It’s incredible to think about how much she’s accomplished in such a short period,” someone else said.
