Taylor Swift might be best known for dominating the music industry but she has quietly amassed an astonishing property portfolio thanks to savvy purchases throughout her career. The pop superstar, 35, first got on the property ladder in 2009 at the tender age of 19 when she snapped up with a three-bedroom penthouse in Nashville for $1.99 million. Now Swift boasts further homes in New York, California and Tennessee after opting for several stunning properties with fascinating histories.
Most recently, the star has revealed plans to expand her ocean-front estate in Rhode Island. After splashing out $17.75 million on the home in 2013, the Cruel Summer hitmaker plans to drop a further $1.7 million on a grand renovation. Elsewhere, new reports claim the singer is eyeing up property in Kansas City, Missouri, as Swift allegedly looks into buying a home with NFL star boyfriend Travis Kelce.
Prior to that, a source revealed to DailyMail.com that the singer is to be based full-time in Nashville so she can be closer to her partner of over a year. Here, FEMAIL takes a look at the properties the Lover hitmaker currently calls home. Taylor Swift has quietly amassed an astonishing property portfolio thanks to savvy purchases throughout her career. Swift boasts homes in New York, California and Tennessee - including a penthouse compound in the trendy Tribeca neighborhood (pictured).
In 2014, she snapped up two penthouses for around $20 million, purchased a third unit in the building for $9.75 million and then splurged on an adjacent townhouse for $18 million. She took the $50million worth of prime real estate and combined it into one massive compound, taking her urban empire to a massive 18,653 square feet. Swift has been an established member of New York City's A-list residents since 2014, having previously also resided in her rented apartment on Cornelia Street.
The location of the rental was made famous thanks to her track named for the West Village street on 2019 album, Lover. However, the singer's Cornelia Street residence was just a temporary landing spot while her Tribeca abode was undergoing a renovation fit for the Big Apple. In 2014, she snapped up two penthouses in the trendy Tribeca neighborhood for around $20 million from Lord of the Rings director Peter Jackson.
She then purchased a third unit in the building a few years later for $9.75 million. In 2017, the pop star splurged on an adjacent townhouse, paying $18 million for the three-story mansion. She took the $50 million worth of prime real estate and combined it into one massive compound, taking her urban empire to a massive 18,653 square feet. Andrew Azoulay, a real-estate agent in Manhattan, told The Wall Street Journal that he advised Swift to buy the townhouse to act as a private garage and to buy the second-floor apartment to connect the garage to her duplex in the Sugar Loaf building.
Famously the site of her iconic Fourth of July parties, Swift's Rhode Island mansion has achieved a celebrity status of its own since the songstress purchased it for $17 million in 2013. Aptly named 'Holiday Home,' it has famously been the site of her iconic Fourth of July parties. The home once belonged to wealthy socialite Rebekah Harkness - she is known to have been the inspiration for Swift's hit, The Great American Dynasty, from her album, Folklore.
Aptly named 'Holiday Home,' the mansion perched atop Watch Hill in Rhode Island has been Swift's go-to getaway and star-studded hotspot for her squad's gatherings for years. Famously the site of her iconic Fourth of July parties, the vacation home has achieved a celebrity status of its own since the songstress purchased it for $17 million in 2013. The picturesque property sits on five acres and spans more than 11,000 square feet of interior living space, boasting eight bedrooms, a 36-foot-long parlor, and an octagonal dining room.
The colonial-style mansion also features its own private beach, an expansive backyard and massive swimming pool overlooking the ocean - with the sprawling residence notably being the most expensive home in the state and now valued at $27.8 million. The home once belonged to composer and socialite Rebekah Harkness, who was married to William Hale 'Bill' Harkness. She is known to have been the inspiration for Swift's hit, The Great American Dynasty, from her album, Folklore.
Swift is planning a $1.7 million overhaul, which includes a 400-square-foot expansion, according to a building permit and zoning certificate obtained by UsWeekly. The renovation will see one of the estate's 11,000 square feet transformed into an 'enlarged bedroom suite and lounge.'. Additionally, the Cardigan singer, who bought the property in 2013, is eyeing a new bedroom for the main house and a complete kitchen remodel.
