Taylor embarked on her journey into property ownership in Nashville, Tennessee, where she kickstarted her country music career by releasing her self-titled debut album in 2006. Following the success of ‘You Belong with Me’ from her second album, Fearless, which climbed to the third spot on the charts, Taylor made her inaugural property acquisition in 2009, a notable feat given that she was merely 20 years old at the time. The property, purchased for almost $2 million (£1.6m), was a 3,240-square-foot condominium nestled within Nashville’s vibrant Music Row.

Allegedly, the luminary took charge of the interior design of the apartment herself. Situated in the upscale Adelicia building, Taylor characterized her design aesthetic as ‘playfully feminine’. While the accompanying images showcase a different apartment within the high-end complex, Taylor’s abode would have boasted the same floor-to-ceiling windows that provided picturesque views of midtown Nashville’s skyline. It would have also encompassed a modern kitchen, perfectly suited for the songstress’s culinary endeavors.

Strategically located in proximity to recording studios and music producers with whom she collaborated at that juncture, the apartment served as an ideal inaugural dwelling for the budding star. More current images of the apartment depict a spacious, neutral-toned unit, yet undoubtedly, Swift imprinted her personal touch on the space during her tenure.

Positioned in a corner unit penthouse configuration, the residence featured three bedrooms, four-and-a-half bathrooms, and a balcony where Taylor could relish her morning coffee. Additionally, she would have enjoyed access to the opulent amenities offered by the Adelicia complex, which encompassed an Olympic-sized heated lap pool, a fitness center equipped with a personal trainer, and a private park.
