Taylor Swift, singer/songwriter, recently got candid about her life and real estate issues in an interview with entertainment magazine, Vanity Fair.
Swift is famous for her impulsive buying. The singer purchased or was rumored-to-have-purchased a home near every single guy she dated. When interviewers at the magazine asked her about her fickle home-buying, she said:
"People say that about me, that I apparently buy houses near every boy I like-that's a thing that I apparently do. If I like you I will apparently buy up the real-estate market just to freak you out so you leave me."
"One of these things I say to myself to calm myself down when I feel like it's all too much . . . If there's a pregnancy rumor, people will find out it's not true when you wind up not being pregnant, like nine months from now, and if there's a house rumor, they'll find out it's not true when you are actively not ever spotted at that house," she added.
Swift was rumored to have bought a home in Cape Cod in 2012, just near then boyfriend Connor Kennedy's family home. Though property records show that the home was purchased by Swift's real estate managing company, Swift waved it off as a rumor.
More recently, she was also enticed by the charms of the countryside in Cheshire, North West England, where her recently dumped One Direction boyfriend, Harry Styles traces his roots. She had expressed immense interest in buying a country style cottage in the area. But now that the couple have split, a purchase is unlikely.
In the interview, Swift also expressed her dislike for "women who didn't help other women" referring to the small mockery segment on her love life that Tina Fey and Amy Poehler pulled off while hosting the Golden Globe Awards.
""You know, Katie Couric is one of my favorite people, because she said to me she had heard a quote that she loved, that said, 'There's a special place in hell for women who don't help other women," she said in the interview.
The interview was conducted in Taylor Swift's Nashville apartment, which was described as a "Tim-Burton-Alice in Wonderland-pirate ship-Peter Pan" place. While Gawker.com called it a "horrible- inspired by children" place, Papermag's Abby Schreiber wrote it off as "an awful nursery a hip Clinton Hill couple in my nightmares built for their son, Milo."
