Taylor Swift is giving her Rhode Island mansion a major makeover — in hopes it will be her primary family home with boyfriend Travis Kelce, The Post has learned.
The Last Great American Dynasty singer is sinking $1.7 million into a massive renovation of the $17 million Watch Hill estate, according to building permits and zoning certificates.
The Providence Journal was the first to report on the renovation.
Swift’s beachside mansion, notorious for her star-studded Fourth of July bashes, is set for some serious glitz.
The plans include a 400 sq ft extension that will transform part of the 11,000 sq ft large house into an upgraded bedroom and lounge.
The renovation doesn’t stop there — the “Cardigan” singer is redesigning the kitchen and adding a bedroom to the main house.
Permits for the project were quietly submitted in late November and early December 2024, with construction permitted until December 2025.
The building permit was officially granted on Jan. 13, records obtained by The Post show, but with a note that said, “Work will not proceed until the inspector has approved the various phases of construction.”
“This will be her main home base and where she and Kelce hope to start a family one day,” the Insider told The Post.
The Post has reached out to Swift’s representatives for comment.
The mansion – set in over 5 acres of landscaped gardens with a massive patio, pool house and a private 700m stretch of beach – has long been Swift’s getaway.
Swift, 34, was last seen at the property in August 2024, relaxing with Kelce and close friends after wrapping up the European leg of her record-breaking Eras tour.
The Grammy winner skipped her traditional July 4th celebration this year due to touring commitments, but made up for it with an intimate gathering in August.
The Kansas City Chiefs tight end isn’t the only VIP enjoying Swift’s appeal in Rhode Island. NFL superstar Patrick Mahomes and his wife, Brittany, recently joined the couple for some beachside relaxation. In past years, Swift’s exes — Tom Hiddleston, Calvin Harris and Joe Jonas — have also graced the estate, along with members of her famous girl squad Gigi Hadid, Selena Gomez and Cara Delevingne.
Also over the summer her friend Blake Lively celebrated her birthday at the beachfront property.
Swift originally picked up the eight-bedroom, 10-bathroom property in 2013 at just 23 years old, paying the full price of $17.75 million in a quick (no pun intended) wire transfer.
Reports at the time suggested Swift’s interest in the property was sparked by its proximity to ex-boyfriend Conor Kennedy’s family compound in nearby Newport. He is the son of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
However, she officially moved in with her father, Scott Swift, in May 2013, months after her split from Kennedy was confirmed.
