Taylor Swift Purchases $17 million Home
Taylor Swift, the country-pop diva has purchased a $17 million house in Rhode Island. While the sum is staggering by itself, sources say that the singer paid the entire sum up front and in cash.
Her new home has 5 bedrooms in its 11,000 square feet. It also has a 700-feet waterfront. While the sum charged was huge, certain sources say that Swift actually cut a great deal, bringing the house down from its initial asking price of $20 million.
The real estate business seems to fit Swift perfectly as she recently bought a house in Cape Cod which she flipped and sold to make a profit of nearly $1 million. The home was apparently sold at such a high profit because it was close to her ex-boyfriend Conor Kennedy.
In an interview for Vanity Fair, the star said jokingly that she likes to buy property next to her boyfriend’s so that she can “freak them out”.
Swift has recently been getting teased by fans and other celebs because she writes just love songs, and because her albums always show an intense feeling of love for her present boyfriend, only to end in a break-up.
Even President Barack Obama joined the teasers as he jabbed the Republican Party saying that the way they loved and now hate the sequestor issue is like being stuck in a Taylor Swift song.
