Taylor Swift is no stranger to the charms of Great Britain, as made evident in her vast real estate portfolio. When the billionaire was living with her previous boyfriend, Joe Alwyn, Swift was renting a gorgeous townhouse in the Primrose Hill neighborhood of London for the two of them to share. While that relationship has ended—and her heart is now with Travis Kelce in Kansas City, Missouri—Swift’s love affair with the capital of the United Kingdom is alive and well. According to The Sun, the singer-songwriter has reportedly purchased a mansion in London for £10 million, which is roughly $12.8 million, give or take a few bands.
Though no photos have been released of Swift’s new estate, apparently the star is planning on using the property as her home base across the pond and is sparing no expense to get the home looking how she wants. The private estate was previously owned by a politician—though it’s unclear who—and it comes with a swimming pool and a personal orangery. (Yes, an orangery.)
The report of this purchase came about on December 9, and Swift has reportedly jumped right into the renovation process. “She loves the culture and vibe of the city, and is particularly at home in North London, so this estate makes perfect sense,” a source told The Sun. If Swift’s past relationships with fellow Brits Harry Styles and Calvin Harris, which occurred before her six years with Alwyn, weren’t enough to recognize that the artist has been in love with London for the past few years, her song “London Boy” serves as “a love letter to the city,” said the source. It’s not shocking that Swift would want to set down roots in a place she adores.
Maybe it was Kelce’s recent real estate purchase that inspired Swift to make another of her own. While we can assume that Swift is renovating this estate exactly to her liking, we can’t help but wonder if Kelce will have an opinion about the singer’s newest pad in England’s capital. Maybe then we can get “London Boy (Travis’s Version).”
