Taylor Swift expanding $17.75M Rhode Island mansion after becoming a billionaire

Taylor Swift is celebrating becoming a billionaire by expanding her $17.75 million Rhode Island mansion.

Contractors are planning on building an addition onto the pop star’s oceanfront home in Westerly’s Watch Hill neighborhood, according to a building permit obtained by the Providence Journal Tuesday.

The new wing will feature another bedroom and more bathrooms, and Swift’s existing kitchen also will be getting a makeover.

The new bedroom will be approximately 16 by 24 feet, but it was not specified how many bathrooms will be put in.

The labor and materials for the project will set Swift back an estimated $1.7 million, according to the permit issued last month.

The “Cruel Summer” singer’s 11,000-square-foot cliffside manor — dubbed High Watch or Holiday House —  is located a stone’s throw away from the ritzy Ocean House resort and boasts 700 feet of private beachfront.

Swift’s beachy escape already has eight bedrooms and 10 bathrooms.

The current eight-bedroom, 10-bathroom escape is situated on 5.23 acres featuring manicured gardens, a breathtaking patio and a spanning swimming pool.

Swift, 35, reportedly paid for the house, which has eight cozy fireplaces, in all cash in 2013.

The estate holds a special place in her heart and even inspired her 2020 song “The Last Great American Dynasty,” which is about an American socialite who once lived there, Rebekah Harkness.

“Her name was Rebekah Harkness. And she lived in the house that I ended up buying in Rhode Island. That’s how I learned about her,” Swift said in a Rolling Stone interview in 2020. “But she was a woman who was very, very talked about, and everything she did was scandalous. I found a connection in that.”

The beachy structure has also played backdrop to some of Swift’s star-studded parties over the years.

Last August, her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, and his Kansas City Chiefs teammate Patrick Mahomes were spotted attending one of Swift’s pool parties on the property.
