Inside Taylor Swift's Luxurious $150 Million Real Estate Empire
Taylor Swift, the richest female musician, has built an impressive real estate empire valued at $150 million, with eight luxurious properties spread across the United States. Recently, she appeared on Stephen Colbert's late-night talk show, where she discussed her preference for a home that doesn't scream her pop-star status. "I don’t want any plaques or a studio. I don’t want there to be any evidence that a music person lives here," she explained. Swift's love for her piano and guitar is evident, but she keeps them out of the spotlight. "I want to feel cosy at home," she shared.
Swift's real estate journey began more than a decade ago with the purchase of two adjacent Tribeca penthouses for nearly $20 million. These properties marked her entry into the New York City real estate market. Her love for the city continued, and in 2018, she added a second-floor complex for $10 million and a four-storey townhouse for $18 million. The townhouse, equipped with a gym, antique French wide-plank oak floors, and a planted terrace with a Japanese paper glass wall, boasts seven bedrooms, six baths, and a three-bedroom apartment for her security personnel.
In Rhode Island, Taylor Swift owns a luxurious getaway that serves as a holiday home. The Watch Hill house, spanning 12,000 square feet, features eight rooms and eight fireplaces. Purchased for a whopping $17.75 million, the property sits on a 5-acre land with a 700-foot beachfront overlooking the ocean. Located on a tranquil hill, this home offers the perfect escape for the billionaire, who seems to have found her 'blank space' in one of the most expensive real estate locations in the US.
Nashville, known as the Music City, is home to several celebrities, including Taylor Swift. She bought her spot on the Nashville music row when she was 20, a 3240 square foot penthouse in the Adelicia complex worth $1.9 million. The three-bedroom corner duplex came with a heated Olympic-size swimming pool and various luxurious amenities. Over the years, Swift has actively invested in properties in Nashville. In June 2011, she purchased a $2.5 million main house constructed in 1934. This estate, with four bedrooms, five baths, and a 2000-square-foot guest house, rests on a 6-acre land in the elite suburb of Forest Hills.
Swift has also made significant renovations to her properties, often approaching local authorities for permits worth millions. One of her key sales includes the Beverly Hills home she sold in 2018, a guest house cottage worth $2.65 million. Despite selling some properties, she held onto her Los Angeles property, a 1934 Georgian Revival estate with seven bedrooms, valued at $25 million. This home remains one of the priciest in her vast real estate collection.
Taylor Swift's real estate empire is a testament to her success and her love for luxurious, yet cozy, living spaces. Each property tells a story of her journey from a young artist to one of the most influential and wealthy musicians in the world.
