Where Taylor Swift Calls Home Now: Inside Her $150 Million Real Estate Empire

Fans are fixated on where Taylor Swift and NFL star Travis Kelce will plant roots next — and the billionaire hitmaker’s $150 million real estate empire, built since 2009, might already map out their future address.
So, Taylor Swift is engaged to Travis Kelce, and her fans are already playing 'where do they nest?' Given that she is a billionaire with a real estate portfolio comfortably north of $150 million, the answer is not simple. She has been collecting addresses since 2009, with Tribeca as the main base, Nashville and LA as regular hangouts, and that Rhode Island cliffside palace as the go-to party house (and, if the rumor mill is right, the likely wedding backdrop).
The now: where Swift actually lives
Tribeca, New York: the Franklin Street compound
Back in 2014, Swift bought two adjacent penthouses at 155 Franklin Street, a building that used to belong to Peter Jackson, and turned them into a single home. Between those and a neighboring three-bedroom she also picked up, she dropped a total of $19.95 million. The combined footprint clocks in at about 5,869 square feet after some rework, and it is not shy on bedrooms and bathrooms: 10 of each, plus a billiards room. She even lent the place to her friend Sophie Turner in 2023 while Turner and Joe Jonas were splitting up.
She kept expanding. In 2018, she bought the building’s second-floor unit for $9.75 million from financier Jeremy Phillips, adding another 3,540 square feet. Around that time there were reports she wanted to snap up enough of the block to build a secured, drive-in-and-out compound. It tracks, because in 2017 she also grabbed the townhouse next door for $18 million. That century-old, three-story spot spans 3,660 square feet, with antique French oak floors, a planted terrace behind a Japanese paper glass wall, seven bedrooms, six baths, a gym, and a spa. There is even a separate apartment nearby dedicated to her security team. She has permits on file with NYC’s Department of Buildings for about $1 million worth of renovations to the Franklin Street setup.
Nashville, Tennessee: the quiet anchor
Her Greek Revival estate in Nashville, known as the Northumberland Estate, was built in 1934 by Guilford Dudley Jr., a former U.S. Ambassador to Denmark. Swift bought it in 2011 for $2.5 million. The main house is 5,600 square feet with four bedrooms and five bathrooms, built around a curved staircase, vaulted beam ceilings, big-picture windows, and marble fireplaces. A separate 2,000-square-foot guest house (built in 1964) sits across six acres. Lately, she has been spending more time there to be closer to Kansas City Chiefs home games.
The getaway palace (and the wedding rumor)
Watch Hill, Rhode Island: High Watch, aka Holiday House
Swift bought her Westerly waterfront mansion in 2013 for $17.75 million. The estate has 11,000 square feet of living space on 5.23 acres, eight bedrooms, 10 bathrooms, eight fireplaces, a big patio, a large pool, and roughly 700 feet of private beachfront. Built in 1930, the house is famous enough in her world to host those July 4th parties and inspire the 2020 song 'The Last Great American Dynasty,' which nods to former resident Rebekah Harkness, the Standard Oil heiress by marriage. Swift has said she got interested in Harkness after buying the place because Harkness was constantly talked about, almost always scandalously, and she felt a kinship with that level of scrutiny.
She is also actively improving the property. In January 2025, permits surfaced for about $1.7 million in work, including a new 16-by-24-foot bedroom, additional bathrooms, and kitchen changes. And yes, sources have claimed Swift and Kelce plan to get married there next summer. Believe that when the tents go up, but the whispers are consistent.
Los Angeles: the landmark and the flips
Beverly Hills: the Samuel Goldwyn estate
In 2015, she paid $25 million for a 1934 Georgian Revival mansion once owned by producer Samuel Goldwyn. It is massive at 10,982 square feet, with seven bedrooms, eight bathrooms, a library, a card room, staff quarters, and a screening room equipped for 35mm projection. The guest list back in its studio-era heyday included Charlie Chaplin, Frank Capra, Marlene Dietrich, and Clark Gable. Two years later, the Beverly Hills City Council approved her request to landmark the property.
"I think this is a true community gem and really so thrilled that this will be landmarked and preserved."
That was then-Mayor Lili Bosse on Swift’s restoration push.
Also in Beverly Hills: two smaller places she sold in 2018
First, the mini-estate: she bought a 1.4-acre property in 2011 for $3.55 million and sold it off-market in 2018 to Nicolas Bijan Pakzad (yes, House of Bijan) for $4 million, reportedly netting about $450,000 in profit. The main house had around 2,800 square feet, three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a spacious living room, an office, and an open-plan kitchen, plus a guesthouse and a sports court.
Then the midcentury modern bungalow she mainly used for guests: purchased in 2012 for $1.77 million and sold in 2018 for $2.65 million. That one had four bedrooms, a private courtyard, three skylights, a freeform pool, and a wine cellar.
Nashville, round two: the first big purchase
Music Row: the Adelicia penthouse (and the one-bedroom below)
Swift’s first real personal buy came in 2009: a $1.9 million duplex penthouse in the Adelicia, on Music Row. It spans about 3,240 square feet, has three bedrooms and high ceilings, and the building has a heated Olympic-length pool. She later picked up the smaller one-bedroom just below for another $387,000. The penthouse itself was styled with an Alice in Wonderland vibe; she once explained that she wanted every color in the place.
One quick flip in Massachusetts
Hyannis Port: the Cape Cod phase
During her brief relationship with Conor Kennedy, there was a lot of chatter that she bought near the Kennedy compound purely for proximity. Other reports insisted it was strictly an investment. Either way, she bought a seven-bedroom waterfront house for $4.1 million, then sold it just months later for $5.67 million. The 5,000-square-foot home sits on 1.11 acres, with three garages, a heated in-ground pool, and a firepit area. Recently, People reported it is back on the market at $14.5 million.
The famous rental
West Village, New York: Cornelia Street
While she was renovating her Tribeca compound, Swift rented a West Village townhouse in 2016 and 2017 for $38,000 a month. If the address rings a bell, it is because 'Cornelia Street' became a song on 'Lover.' The house is from the 1970s and tops 5,500 square feet, with four bedrooms, five bathrooms, two powder rooms, an eat-in kitchen, a rooftop lounge, an indoor pool, and a garage. The place has since been listed for sale around $17.9 million and is also offered to rent for about $45,000 per month.
So where will Swift and Kelce actually settle?
For a minute, fans bet on her Nashville estate. Now, reports point elsewhere. The New York Post says Swift and Kelce have been house hunting around Cleveland, Ohio, with the village of Hunting Valley in the Chagrin River Valley floated as a dream-home target. Meanwhile, the Daily Mail says Swift has been scouting in London, and that she is into Hampstead and St. John’s Wood. None of that is confirmed, but those are the neighborhoods being name-checked.
Why the fortress mentality makes sense
The renovations and extra square footage are not just for fun. In September, Swift got a five-year restraining order against Brian Jason Wagner, who allegedly came by her LA place multiple times between July and May 2024. Last year, David Crowe was charged with stalking and harassment after being arrested three times in five days outside her Tribeca building.
The history goes back years: in 2017, Mohammad Jaffar repeatedly called her management and then entered her Tribeca apartment; a judge sent him to a psychiatric facility. In 2018, Roger Alvarado reportedly smashed in her New York front door with a shovel, then took a shower and nap before being arrested. That same year, Julius Sandrock was arrested outside her Beverly Hills home with ammunition, a knife, rope, and gloves in his car. And in 2020, a man crashed his car into her New York apartment building trying to get in.
The bottom line
Swift’s holdings stretch from Manhattan to Nashville to LA, with Rhode Island as the splashy retreat, and a handful of profitable exits along the way. Add it all up and you get a portfolio well over $150 million. Whether she and Kelce land in Cleveland, London, Nashville, or just stay put in Tribeca, she already has the kind of home base most people would choose as their endgame.
