Taylor Swift dropped $20 million on two Tribeca lofts: smart business or excessive?
Here are some photos of Taylor Swift, out and about in NYC on Friday. She was hanging out with Lily Aldridge, the wife of Caleb Followill and a Victoria’s Secret model in her own right. Why has Swifty been hanging out with so many models lately? First Swifty went on road trip through California with Karlie Kloss, and now she’s doing a Sex & the City brunch with Lily Aldridge?
I actually think the SATC reference is more than apt. It looks like Taylor has bought herself a luxury Tribeca loft, also known as a $20 million shag-pad. The paps got shots of burly men moving Swifty’s stuff into a building in Tribeca on Friday too, and that explains why Taylor has been in New York for more than a week – she’s been preparing the apartment! Here’s more:
She has a number of luxurious homes across the United States. And now it seems Taylor Swift has added to her extensive property portfolio and snapped up not one but two apartments in New York’s trendy TriBeCa neighbourhood.
The 24-year-old is said to have splashed out around $20 million for the adjacent lofts, which were previously owned by Lord Of The Rings director Peter Jackson. Taylor seemed to avoid any heavy lifting by taking a stroll with Victoria’s Secret Angel Lily Aldridge as her belongings were moved into the luxury apartment.
According to The Real Estalker, Taylor may have purchased two lofts in the prestigious building, which also counts Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen among its residents. Speculation mounted after the I Knew You Were Trouble singer was spotted visiting the building several times, shortly after director Peter Jackson listed his two apartments for the combined asking price of $21,500,000.
The smaller of the two dwellings isn’t exactly tiny, boasting three bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms, while the larger one is a whopping 5,869 square foot penthouse with six bedrooms. Both are tastefully decorated with hardwood floors, exposed beams and wooden columns giving a homey feel. And there’s plenty of space for Taylor to store all her designers threads. A 25 foot long hall lined with 10 closets opens out into a dressing room, while the large master bedroom has a fireplace to snuggle up next to.
Not short of places to lay her head, the pop princess already owns homes in Beverly Hills, California and a penthouse duplex in Nashville, Tennessee, which she considers her main residence. Last year she also splashed out on a $17.75million mansion in the upmarket neighbourhood of Watch Hill, Rhode Island.
It will be interesting to see how much time Taylor spends in NYC in the coming months/years. Will she really try to be a New Yorker? Is she searching for a boyfriend? Will she have a weekly brunch with Samantha, Carrie and Miranda (Swifty is totally Charlotte)? Or is she just expanding her real estate portfolio because she’s an incredibly wealthy woman and she got a good deal on these lofts?
