Taylor Swift's House

Pop and country songwriter whose family moved to the Nashville area when she was 14 so she could chase a publishing deal. Her first single, “Tim McGraw,” came out in 2006.

The tower runs 18 stories, with brownstone-style townhouses at street level and the penthouses stacked on its top 2 floors. Corner Realty Partners developed it, and Brasfield & Gorrie built it.

Music Row began 4 blocks east of here, in the Quonset Hut studio Owen and Harold Bradley opened in 1954. RCA added Studio B, where Elvis Presley recorded, in 1957.

Swift bought the Adelicia penthouse in 2009, at 20. It was the first home she bought with her own money.

She took over what had been an ultramodern bachelor pad and spent 18 months redoing it. A koi pond sits beneath a wrought-metal spiral staircase, and a human-sized birdcage she sketched herself faces the windows.

“It's what the inside of my brain looks like,” she told Rolling Stone in 2012. A framed photo of the night Kanye West interrupted her 2009 VMA speech hangs over the fireplace.

Swift pledged $500,000 to Tennessee flood relief in May 2010, the spring after she bought here. “Nashville is my home, and the reason why I get to do what I love,” she said.
