Taylor Swift Pays $17 Million Cash for Rhode Island Mansion

The 'I Knew You Were Trouble' singer pays
$17.75 million in cash for an 11,000 square-
foot mansion in Rhode Island.
A few
weeks after
being
spotted
house-
hunting
with her
parents
and
brother,
Taylor Swift purchased a mansion in Rhode
Island. The house was originally listed for $20
million, but the 23-year-old country singer
managed to ask the seller to reduce the price
to $17.75 million. Swift reportedly wired over
the money soon after the deal was reached.
The 11,000 square-feet oceanfront house,
which was built in 1930 and designed by
Philadelphia architect, boasts 8 bedrooms, 8
fireplaces, 10.5 bathrooms, and a 5-car heated
garage. The house also includes an enormous
kitchen, a recreation room, several balconies,
a 36-foot parlor, and a 45-foot sunroom and a
large pool.
Swift is known for having a habit of buying a
house near to the house of the boy she likes.
She bought a house in Hyannis Port,
Massachusetts last August to get close to her
then-boyfriend, Conor Kennedy.
"People say that about me, that I apparently
buy houses near every boy I like -that's a thing
that I apparently do. If I like you I will
apparently buy up the real-estate market just
to freak you out so you leave me," she told
Vanity Fair back in March.
Months after the couple broke up, she sold the
house for $5.675 million and she reportedly
made a profit of $1 million on the sale. Last
December, when Swift was dating One
Direction's Harry Styles , she reportedly tried to
find a house in England. She later revealed that
the report wasn't true.
"People say that I'm buying houses all the time
that I'm not buying. It's like every time the
press thinks I like a guy they say I am buying a
house next to them," she said at that time.
