Elisha Serrano, a mom from Walla Walla, Washington, set a New Year's resolution to complete the entire Taylor Swift Eras Tour concert film on a treadmill. Over the course of two months, she pushed through the 3-hour and 27-minute film, singing and dancing along, and ultimately finishing the challenge on February 19th. Serrano posted a video of her emotional finish that has been viewed over 650,000 times on TikTok.

Why it matters

Serrano's journey highlights how fans are finding creative ways to engage with Taylor Swift's music and concert experience, even outside of traditional live shows. Her determination to get healthier for her family also resonates with many who have faced their own health challenges.

The details

Serrano was inspired by an interview where Swift shared that she would train for her concerts by singing the setlist while running on a treadmill. Serrano decided to try the same approach as a way to improve her own health after dealing with frustrating medical issues. Over the course of two months, she would set up her iPad, climb on the treadmill, and work her way through the 10 sections of Swift's concert film, increasing her speed and singing along with a toy microphone. Despite feeling like she wouldn't make it through the first section, Serrano persisted and eventually completed the full film, posting an emotional video of her finish.

• Serrano started her challenge in late December 2025, just before the new year.
• By the end of January 2026, Serrano had made it through the 'Folkmore' and '1989' sections of the concert film.
• On February 19, 2026, Serrano completed the final 'Midnights' section of the concert film.
