In our modern world, it is not enough for a celebrity to have a successful career in the limelight. These days, they also need to have an extravagant lifestyle off camera as well. In this blog post, we’ll talk about four celebrities’ houses that are sure to amaze you!
Taylor Swift’s Nashville Mansion
Taylor Swift might be most famous for her country music, but she has achieved crossover success with pop songs like “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together” and “Shake It Off.”
Her house in the Belle Meade neighborhood of Nashville is an impressive sight. Built in 1892 by General Robert Love Taylor, it features Greek Revival architecture on a large three acre lot that backs up to Percy Warner Park. The 11,000 square foot mansion has six bedrooms and nine bathrooms plus all kinds of extravagant amenities including a pool room, movie theater, library/den area complete with built-in bookcases topped by stained glass windows depicting Shakespearean characters (because nothing says luxury quite like literary references), elevator access, a four car garage, and views that will leave you breathless.
In 2012 the house sold for $17 million to Swift’s father Scott who is now developing it into an even more lavish estate with plans to add additional guest houses, a tennis court, pool cabana area complete with catering kitchen and full bathhouse.
