As the second-richest self-made woman in music, there’s no doubt that Taylor Swift is one of the world’s most successful solo artists.

Her current ‘Eras’ tour has broken records for the highest-attended female concert in US history. In fact, the tour’s sell-out success has helped to officially make Swift a billionaire.

Unsurprisingly then, the mega-star has built up a huge collection of real estate over the years on the road to stardom, worth around $125 million (£100m). Click or scroll on to find out more and explore Taylor Swift’s remarkable property empire…

It’s official, Taylor Swift is in her billionaire era. The news first broke on 26 October in a report by Bloomberg, with the singer’s net worth pegged at a lofty $1.1 billion (£888k). The figure comprises over $500 million (£404m) derived from touring and royalties, a $500 million (£404m) music catalogue and around $125 million (£100m) in real estate assets, according to Forbes.

Swift’s current ‘Eras’ tour was a staggering boon to her fortune. Pollstar has estimated that ticket sales could reach $1.4 billion (£1.1bn), which would make it the first-ever tour to gross over $1 billion (£807k). The concert’s recently released film, Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour, raked in an enormous $123.5 million (£99.5m) in its opening weekend alone. Swift is the first musician to cross the billionaire threshold based solely on her music and performances, Forbes reported.

Meanwhile, the superstar has been making headlines in her personal life too…

Somehow, despite her hectic tour schedule, Taylor has managed to make space for romance in her life. After much secrecy and media surmising, Taylor recently stepped out with Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, and things appear to be heating up for the pair.

Not only has Taylor become a regular feature at Chiefs games, cheering Kelce on from the box seats, but recent real estate movements suggest the two are getting serious…

It has recently been confirmed that Kelce splashed out $6 million (£4.8m) on a Kansas City mansion, where the pair can enjoy a bit more privacy. According to TMZ‘s sources, Kelce’s old house was far too accessible and was “starting to become a tourist attraction”.

The couple will be able to enjoy a waterfall, mini golf course and swimming pool without needing to leave the seclusion of the property, which sits nestled within a gated community. While this might seem like a big investment for Kelce, the NFL star’s $14 million (£11.3m) annual salary and $57 million (£46m) four-year deal will certainly ease the strain!

Read on to retrace Taylor Swift’s rise to fame and the places she’s called home along the way…

From country girl to global pop star, Taylor Swift has come a long way. But where did her rise to the top begin?

Taylor spent her formative years on a Christmas tree farm in Cumru Township, Pennsylvania, before the Swift family moved 15 minutes away to this five-bedroom home in Wyomissing, just outside the city of Reading.

Her interest in music began when she was nine years old. The ambitious youngster performed in Berks Youth Theatre Academy productions, while also travelling to New York City regularly for vocal and acting lessons.

The high ceilings of the 3,560-square-foot Georgian Colonial home would have provided great acoustics for the budding star, who had learned to play the guitar by the age of 12 and was performing at weekend festivals and events.

The young star-to-be was given an artist development deal at just 13 years old, after performing original songs at an RCA Records showcase.

The suburban residence was Swift’s childhood home until she was 14, when the family moved to Hendersonville, Tennessee so that she could pursue her career in music.

On the market for just under $1 million (£807k) in March 2022, Taylor’s former family home has undergone extensive interior and exterior renovations and is now decked out with the latest home technologies, as well as plenty of marble and granite. Could this have been the singer-songwriter’s childhood bedroom?

Taylor’s jump onto the property ladder happened in Nashville, Tennessee, where she launched her country music career with her first eponymous album in 2006.

After ‘You Belong with Me’ from her second album, Fearless, soared to number three in the charts, Taylor purchased her first property in 2009 when she was just 20 years old. Bought for nearly $2 million (£1.6m), the budding star picked up a 3,240-square-foot condo right in the heart of Nashville’s Music Row as her first home.

The star reportedly designed the interior for the apartment herself, which sits in the luxury Adelicia building, and described her style as ‘whimsically girlie’.

These images show another apartment in the high-end building, but Taylor’s place would have had the same floor-to-ceiling windows with skyline views of midtown Nashville and a state-of-the-art kitchen for the home-loving singer to cook up a storm.

Located close to the recording studios and music producers she was working with at the time, the apartment was a perfect starter home for the fledgling star. More recent mages of the apartment show it as a neutral, spacious unit, but we’re sure that Swift put her own stamp on it during her tenure.

The corner unit penthouse has three bedrooms and four-and-a-half bathrooms as well as a balcony for Taylor to enjoy her morning coffee.

She also would have had access to the super-swanky amenities of the Adelicia complex, which include an Olympic-sized heated lap pool, a fitness centre with an on-site personal trainer and a private park.

With the release of her 2010 album Speak Now, Taylor’s music career went stratospheric. The six-time platinum album was more than successful enough to enable Taylor to buy a gorgeous old house in the celebrity hotspot of Beverly Hills.

Secured behind gates and a long driveway, the almost one-and-a-half-acre home has a sports court within the private grounds and plenty of trees to keep nosey fans at bay.

Purchased in 2011 by the star for $3.6 million (£2.9m), the 2,800-square-foot clapboard-sided home has four bedrooms and four bathrooms. Inside, the cosy living room features a grand fireplace, a built-in TV unit and plenty of traditional-style fittings – the perfect place for some downtime following her album release.

A pretty down-to-earth pad for one of the biggest stars in the world, there’s also a modest kitchen, a formal living room on the lower floor and French doors throughout which lead to outdoor living areas. Upstairs, the master bedroom includes dual sinks in the ensuite bathroom and a walk-in wardrobe.

A separate guesthouse attached to a two-car garage offers an extra bedroom and bathroom, plus an open-plan living and dining space with a fireplace and a fully-equipped kitchen. In 2018, the star sold up for $4 million (£3.2m) in an off-market deal.
