Taylor Alison Swift, an American singer and songwriter was born on December 13, 1989. When she was around nine, she developed a passion for music and began performing in shows at the Berks Youth Theatre Academy. She also frequently visited New York City for vocal and acting lessons.

Taylor spent her early years working on a Christmas tree farm in Cumru Township, Pennsylvania. Then, the family moved to a five-bedroom house in Wyomissing, just outside the city of Reading. The 3,560 square foot Georgian Colonial home's high ceilings would have created excellent acoustics for the rising star.

The pop star grew up in a suburban house until she was 14 years old, when her family relocated to Hendersonville, Tennessee, so that she could pursue a career in music.

Taylor's previous family house has undergone major interior and exterior renovations and is now furnished with the newest home technologies and plenty of marble and granite.

Where Does Taylor Swift Live?

It is rumored that Taylor Swift currently resides in Nashville, Tennessee. She has lived there since she was ten years old and considered it her hometown. However, she also has residences in New York and Los Angeles.

Taylor's journey up the real estate ladder took place in Nashville, Tennessee, where she debuted her country music career in 2006 with her first album of the same name.

1. Nashville, Tennessee

When Taylor was 20 years old, she bought her first house in 2009. The rising star chose a 3,240-square-foot condo in the center of Nashville's Music Row as her first residence. She paid $2 million for the 2-story penthouse serving as her Nashville residence.

Like the singer, the penthouse that sits Adelicia building is playful and girly, with bright pops of color throughout, and is indicative of a young girl's ideal playhouse.

The view from the home's floor-to-ceiling windows, which views the city and the surrounding verdant hills, is undoubtedly its great feature.

The penthouse's corner apartment has three bedrooms, four and a half bathrooms, and a terrace where Taylor could sip her morning coffee.

She had access to the incredibly posh facilities at the Adelicia complex, which include an Olympic-sized heated lap pool, a fitness center with a personal trainer on-site, and a private park.

2. Beverly Hills, California- First House

Taylor Swift had two residences in Beverly hills. She bought this Beverly Hills "Cape Cod-style" home and added it to her real estate purchases two years after purchasing her Nashville penthouse.

The 2,826 square foot main house is situated on a 1.37-acre plot. She spent $3.55 million on the four bedrooms, four bathrooms, open-concept living and dining areas, tennis court, and gourmet kitchen. There is also a guest house with one bedroom and one bathroom.

The master bedroom is located upstairs and has a walk-in closet and dual sinks in the ensuite bathroom.

A separate spacious guest house with an additional bedroom and bathroom, a two-car garage, an open-concept living and eating area with a fireplace, and a fully functional kitchen.

The 8,300 square-foot penthouses got a comprehensive renovation to connect the two levels. The celebrity wanted to combine the two distinct apartments into one enormous bachelorette pad.

The apartments' combined square footage includes nine bedrooms, nine bathrooms, and private wraparound terraces that add 6,000 square feet to their already spacious floor layouts.

Notable features are the 12-foot-high beamed ceilings, wide plank wood floors, exposed brick, a kitchen with glass front cabinets, stainless steel appliances, and a marble island that will make you drool.

The chic marble kitchen is the ideal location for entertaining Taylor's well-known guests and preparing home-cooked meals. The guarded apartment, complete with a luxurious private lift, is the ideal place for the celebrity to live it up.

6. Los Angeles, California- First House

Taylor purchased this mid-century modern home in Los Angeles for $1.8 million when she launched her fourth album Red in 2012.

The sleek, contemporary house was built in 1959 and had all the crisp lines and vintage charm of that historic time. The enchanting living and dining areas, which provide views of the backyard trees, are filled with antique furnishings.

The single-story home has four bedrooms, five bathrooms, and 2,950 square feet of area, which is more than enough for a family. Some of the historic features are beamed ceilings, large glass walls, and a 1,000-bottle climate-controlled wine cellar.

A swimming pool with a lagoon-style design is located in the lush back garden, and an additional outdoor living area is created by decking and a central courtyard. Swift made a great profit when she sold the house in 2018 for $2.7 million.

7. Los Angeles, California- Second House

In 2015, the singer added another Cape Cod-style residence to her real estate portfolio of high-profile properties. For $25 million, Swift acquired the seven-bedroom house from the illustrious Goldwyn family of Hollywood.

The big, arching staircase and the curving walls in the hallway give the house its overall Old Hollywood glitz. The rustic home includes a variety of lavish amenities, including a separate apartment for overnight visitors, a movie room, a library, a card room, a gym, a swimming pool, and a tennis court.

Taylor decorated the house with a mixture of vintage furniture and modern artwork because she is a major fan of classic Americana interior design.

The patio space covered with an umbrella for soaking up the sun is on either side of the huge pool. The house's exterior is currently being renovated by Swift and her architect, which involves restoring woodwork accents like lattice panels and wooden moldings. Additionally, the pool cabana will be renovated to its original 1934 appearance.

Conclusion

Even with her fall out with her fallout with Scooter Braun and Big Machine Records, Taylor Swift has continued to make hit records. Not only that, but she also has an outstanding real estate portfolio that she has bought over the years.

However, it appears that she is not ready to stop there. Taylor is reportedly looking for a second property in London to have a base close to her boyfriend, Joe Alwyn.
