Taylor Swift has touched down in Melbourne ahead of her MCG shows this weekend. Look inside Swift’s property portfolio.
Taylor Swift fans are debating where the pop star might be staying while visiting Australia, but a look at her $230m (US$150m) real estate empire of eight properties in the USA gives an idea of the kind of lifestyle she is accustomed to.
And many of the glamourous homes may even have partly inspired some of her music.
Taylor Swift has landed in Melbourne for The Eras Tour.
Fans would be familiar with the 1989 album’s song ‘Welcome to New York’, which paid homage to her move to and living in the big apple.
According to reports, 10 years ago now in 2014, Swift purchased two adjacent penthouses in an old TriBeCa building at 155 Franklin St and converted the home into a 10 bedroom, 10 bathroom mega loft.
