When Taylor Swift isn’t lighting up stadiums or sparking headlines with her professional football-playing boyfriend Travis Kelce, she’s orchestrating a real estate empire that rivals even the most seasoned property moguls. The Grammy-winning songstress, who achieved billionaire status in 2023, largely thanks to the immense success of her blockbuster Eras tour, has crafted an impressive portfolio of residences valued at over $150 million, from the bustling streets of Manhattan to sun-soaked Beverly Hills.
Much like her music, Swift’s homes are eclectic, polished, and unmistakably her. There’s the storied Rhode Island mansion that’s played host to her legendary Fourth of July parties—star-studded affairs attended by the likes of Emma Stone, Blake Lively, and Gigi Hadid—a sleek Nashville penthouse nodding to her country roots, and plenty more in between. Though she’s not known to have acquired any homes in the U.S. in a number of years, the Cruel Summer singer reportedly scooped up a home in London recently and has proven she’s equally as adept at navigating the world of ultra-luxury real estate as she is at conquering the charts. Let’s take a closer look at all the homes that anchor Swift’s glamorous yet grounded lifestyle.
Hendersonville Hideaway
Long before she filled stadiums and dominated the charts, Swift’s real estate journey began in Hendersonville, Tennessee, where her family relocated in 2003 to support her budding music career. In March 2004, they purchased a 6,800-square-foot waterfront home for $790,000. Set on over an acre along the Cumberland River, the spacious abode features four bedrooms and five bathrooms, offering serene views and quiet privacy just outside Nashville. Still owned by Swift’s parents, the property remains a sentimental cornerstone of her early years.

At just 20 years old, Swift made her first real estate move with the purchase of a luxury penthouse condo in Nashville’s upscale Adelicia building. Picked up in 2009 for $1.99 million, the 4,100-square-foot Music City crash pad features three bedrooms and four-and-a-half bathrooms, with soaring floor-to-ceiling windows offering panoramic views of Music Row. Swift personally designed the interiors in a whimsically girlie, shabby-chic-meets-Alice-in-Wonderland style.
Forest Hills Home
It was long before the crossover entertainer added another Southern gem to her real estate portfolio with the $2.5 million purchase of a stately Greek Revival estate in Nashville’s exclusive Forest Hills neighborhood in mid-2011. Set on six manicured acres, the 5,600-square-foot main residence includes four bedrooms and four and a half bathrooms, complemented by a 2,000-square-foot guesthouse. The elegant interiors feature vaulted ceilings, herringbone wood floors, and marble fireplaces. The grand estate, nicknamed Northumberland, is still owned by Swift and is where her mother Andrea resides.

Perched atop the highest point of Watch Hill, Swift’s sprawling Rhode Island estate is one of her most iconic purchases. Hoovered up in April 2013 for $17.75 million, the 11,700-square-foot mansion boasts seven bedrooms, nine bathrooms, eight fireplaces, and panoramic views of Block Island Sound and Montauk Point. The historic property was once home to eccentric heiress Rebekah Harkness, whom Swift immortalized in her 2020 track The Last Great American Dynasty. Known for hosting legendary Fourth of July parties at the estate, Swift is reportedly undertaking a $1.7 million expansion—a new bedroom suite, additional bathrooms, and a full kitchen renovation—solidifying the estate’s status as a coastal palace befitting pop royalty.

Swift’s Tribeca takeover began in 2014, when she purchased two adjacent penthouses from Lord of the Rings director Peter Jackson for a combined $19.95 million. The penthouses—one about 5,900 square feet with seven bedrooms and five baths, the other roughly 2,400 square feet with three bedrooms and three-and-a-half baths—were seamlessly combined into a sprawling 10-bedroom, 10-bathroom duplex complete with a billiards room and sweeping staircase. In November 2017, Swift expanded her domain, purchasing a 3,500-square-foot, three-bedroom loft on the building’s second floor for $9.75 million from financier Jeremy Phillips.
Beverly Hills Estate
In 2015, Swift bought a historic Georgian Revival mansion in Beverly Hills for $25 million.

Having already owned a couple of homes in L.A., in September 2015, Swift set her sights on a storied slice of Hollywood history: an 11,000-square-foot Georgian Revival estate in Beverly Hills formerly owned by legendary film producer Samuel Goldwyn. The $25 million mansion, built in 1934, comprises seven bedrooms and six bathrooms. Swift successfully petitioned the Beverly Hills City Council in 2017 to designate the home as a historic city landmark. Of the three Los Angeles homes Swift has owned over the years, this pedigreed residence stands as the crown jewel.
Tribeca Townhouse
In September 2017, Taylor Swift added a Tribeca trophy to her real estate portfolio, snapping up a historic townhouse for $18 million. The 5,148-square-foot, 27-foot-wide residence—once owned by disgraced French diplomat Dominique Strauss-Kahn—was purchased via Euro Tribeca LLC, a shell company tied to Swift’s longtime real estate attorney. Built in 1915 and masterfully renovated by architect Leopoldo Rosati, the three-story home features four bedrooms, four-and-a-half baths, a gym, a spa with a steam bath, radiant-heated limestone floors, and a paparazzi-proof garage. A Japanese glass wall frames the planted terrace, ensuring privacy and serenity in the heart of downtown Manhattan.
For So Long, London
Rumor has it that in 2023, Swift quietly snapped up a £10 million (roughly $13 million) home in one of North London’s most exclusive enclaves. Swift is no stranger to U.K. real estate—she’s previously rented homes in the Cotswolds and famously shared a Primrose Hill townhouse with ex-boyfriend Joe Alwyn. But this time, numerous unconfirmed reports say she’s officially pulled the trigger, turning her long-running love affair with the British capital into something a little more permanent. The spread, reportedly once owned by an English politician, is undergoing significant renovations, with planning documents hinting at a private compound that includes a swimming pool and an orangery.
