The New York Post has revealed that Swift is overseeing significant changes to her luxurious estate in Rhode Island in order to accommodate her and her boyfriend Kelce’s future plans.

Inside The Singer’s $17.75M Rhode Island Estate That Inspired ‘The Last Great American Dynasty’
Swift purchased her stunning eight-bedroom, ten-bathroom Rhode Island estate in 2013 when she was just 23 years old.
Remarkably, she paid the full $17.75 million price in a single wire transfer, securing the oceanfront property without hesitation.
The mansion holds deep personal significance for the mega pop star, serving as the inspiration for her 2020 track “The Last Great American Dynasty.”
The song tells the story of Rebekah Harkness, the estate’s previous owner. Harkness, a wealthy socialite and composer known for her headline-making lifestyle, passed away in 1982 at the age of 67. She was often surrounded by controversy, which Swift felt a personal connection to.
In a 2020 interview with Rolling Stone, Swift reflected on that bond, saying, “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. But she was a woman who was very, very talked about, and everything she did was scandalous. I found a connection in that.”
