Although Taylor Swift is mostly recognized for her phenomenal music career, she may soon be expanding her resume to include “real estate mogul” as she owns eight residences spread over four states. Forbes estimates that the 33-year-old superstar, who just finished the first leg of her record-breaking Eras Tour in the United States, is worth $570 million, of which $150 million is real estate.
Swift has gone from being a farm girl to becoming a well-known pop sensation. Before the Swift family relocated to a five-bedroom house in Wyomissing, a town outside of Reading, fifteen minutes away, her ascent to fame started on a Christmas tree farm in Cumru Township, Pennsylvania. She picked up the guitar and showed an early interest in music at this Georgian Colonial-style house. Swift persuaded her parents to relocate to Nashville when she was 14 years old in order to focus on her singing career. It was in Nashville that she made her first official real estate acquisition in 2009—a apartment she still owns today.
Since then, Swift has dispelled skeptics and accumulated eight different residences, from an 11,000-square-foot historical landmark in California to a $150 million penthouse in Manhattan’s TriBeCa neighborhood. Amidst a lucrative tour that Forbes predicts will make her a billionaire by the end of this year, there’s no telling how much more she’ll conquer in the real estate industry (or what new songs she’ll sing about them).
