Taylor Swift is not just a global pop superstar; she’s also a savvy real estate investor with a portfolio that spans the country. The singer-songwriter, who grew up in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, owns multiple high-profile properties, ranging from a luxurious New York City compound to a sprawling waterfront mansion in Rhode Island. Here’s a closer look at the key properties in Swift’s impressive collection and their estimated worth.
In 2014, Taylor Swift purchased two adjacent penthouses at 155 Franklin Street in Tribeca for $19.95 million from “Lord of the Rings” director Peter Jackson. She combined the units into a lavish duplex featuring 10 bedrooms, 10 bathrooms, and a billiards room. The home even served as a temporary refuge for actress Sophie Turner during her divorce from Joe Jonas.
Four years later, Taylor Swift expanded the property by acquiring the second-floor unit for nearly $10 million from financier Jeremy Phillips, adding 3,540 square feet to the already massive compound. By 2017, she had also purchased a neighboring 100-year-old townhouse for $18 million. This three-story home includes a gym, spa, antique French oak floors, a planted terrace with a Japanese paper glass wall, seven bedrooms, six bathrooms, and a separate apartment for her security team. Swift has invested heavily in renovations, with permits totaling over $1 million.
During renovations, Taylor Swift rented a West Village townhouse for $38,000 a month. Built in the 1970s and previously used to store horse-drawn carriages, the 5,500-square-foot pad has four bedrooms, five bathrooms, two powder rooms, multiple terraces, a rooftop lounge, an indoor lap pool, and a garage. This home inspired her song “Cornelia Street” on her 2019 album Lover.
In 2013, Taylor Swift acquired a waterfront mansion in Westerly, Rhode Island’s prestigious Watch Hill neighborhood for $17.75 million. The 11,000-square-foot estate, known as High Watch or Holiday House, sits on 5.23 acres with 700 feet of private beachfront. It features eight bedrooms, 10 bathrooms, eight fireplaces, a massive swimming pool, and a patio overlooking the ocean.
Taylor Swift recently secured permits for a $1.7 million expansion, adding a new bedroom, bathrooms, and updating the kitchen. The mansion has hosted her star-studded 4th of July “Taymerica” parties and inspired her 2020 hit The Last Great American Dynasty, which tells the story of the house’s previous owner, socialite Rebekah Harkness.
Taylor Swift’s first foray into real estate came at age 20, when she purchased a $1.9 million penthouse on Music Row in Nashville in 2009. The 3,240-square-foot corner duplex in the luxury Adelicia complex features three bedrooms, high ceilings, and an open layout, with amenities like a heated Olympic-length pool and personal trainer.
In 2011, she acquired the 5,600-square-foot Northumberland Estate for $2.5 million, a Greek Revival mansion with four bedrooms, five bathrooms, and a 2,000-square-foot guesthouse on six acres. Swift has increasingly made Nashville a home base, especially as she has grown closer to boyfriend Travis Kelce and his Kansas City Chiefs games.
Taylor Swift has downsized her Los Angeles portfolio over the years, now owning just one estate. She sold a Beverly Hills Cape Cod-style cottage for $4 million and a smaller guesthouse for $2.65 million but retained her 10,982-square-foot Georgian Revival mansion purchased for $25 million in 2015. Once owned by Hollywood producer Samuel Goldwyn, the home boasts seven bedrooms and eight bathrooms. In 2017, Swift’s restoration efforts led the Beverly Hills City Council to designate the property as a historic landmark.
From Tribeca to Rhode Island and Nashville to Los Angeles, Taylor Swift’s real estate holdings reflect her taste for luxury, history, and privacy. With properties valued at tens of millions and investments in renovations and expansions, Swift has built a portfolio that rivals her chart-topping music career demonstrating that her savvy extends far beyond the stage.
