Take a peek inside Taylor Swift’s $2M eclectic, ‘Alice In Wonderland’-inspired penthouse apartment in Nashville
Taylor Swift created her own “Wonderland” inside her whimsical Nashville penthouse apartment.
Swift, 34, snagged the multi-level condo for nearly $2 million back in 2009, and, despite it once being an ultra-modern bachelor pad, the “Cruel Summer” has since turned it into a maximalist’s dream.
The “All Too Well” singer was just 20 when she purchased the 3,240-square-foot abode on Nashville’s Music Row.
The pop star spent 18 months gut-renovating the three-bedroom home to achieve her dream creative space, which she once told Vanity Fair was “Tim Burton-Alice in Wonderland-pirate ship-Peter Pan”-inspired.
Walking in the front door, guests are immediately greeted with a sensory overload, from the splashes of colorful wallpaper to the koi pond sitting in the middle of the living room.
The pond, which houses actual fish to her cat Meredith’s dismay, “sits beneath a wrought-metal spiral staircase leading to a human-sized bird cage,” according to Swift’s 2012 interview with Rolling Stone.
Swift, of course, designed the bird cage herself, calling it the “most comfortable place in the world” lined with pillows and blankets.
The floor-to-ceiling windows inside the corner duplex look out to the Great Smoky Mountains beyond Nashville, a stark contrast to the busy design inside the space.
Beyond the foyer — lined with “frames of brightly colored paper flowers” — lies “a six-foot topiary rabbit,” per Vanity Fair.
The walls, some brick and some covered in colorful wallpaper, are full of photos of Swift with some of her closest friends and family.
“I need to have pictures of people I love everywhere,” Swift told VF in 2012.
However, above the massive stone fireplace with an ornate blue face, Swift also framed a photo of the infamous moment when Kanye West interrupted her 2009 VMA acceptance speech.
“Life is full of little interruptions,” she reportedly wrote in gold pen atop the picture on her mantel, sitting right next to the award itself.
While Swift utilized every inch of wall space in the apartment, she also made the most of the vaulted ceilings, covering one section with “billowing curtains” and another with “a painted indigo night sky.”
Hanging from the ceiling are several colorful crystalline stars, shimmering chandeliers and colorful curtains along the window-lined walls.
The sligthly more casual sitting room is decorated with a maroon couch, vintage wood furniture and lots of knick-knacks — including her collection of old bottles and antique books — scattered along her carefully curated bookcases.
A large wood dining table sits on the other side of the room next to a large bar top area with several cushioned and, of course, colorful chairs.
The floors are covered with faded Persian rugs sitting atop oak hardwood floors.

The living space flows right into her open-concept kitchen — which is just as eclectic as the rest of the home.
Swift gave fans a glimpse into the maximalist space in her “Miss Americana” documentary, showing off her cooking skills and her design style.
The kitchen is straight out of a fairy tale, with a heart-tiled backsplash, rounded archways and cabinetry painted in different shades of blue, red and yellow.
It looks like Swift adorned the cabinets with some doodles herself as each cupboard features hand-painted floral designs of varying colors and sizes.
Her stainless steel ovens are covered with different stickers to match her menagerie of different colored plates and bowls.
A massive wood island sits in the middle of the room with a black and gold hood placed directly above it.
While most of her home is decked out in every shade of the rainbow, her second-story bedroom is “everything white and fluffy.”
Swift once shared a look into the luxe suite on her Tumblr, showing one of her cats sitting atop her plush, cream-upholstered bed frame.
Her bedroom walls are covered in tan-and-white floral wallpaper and she hung several vintage-looking mirrors above her bed.
For privacy, the “Anti-Hero” star draped white, tiered curtains along the windows, matching her bedside table lampshades.
Although the quirky Nashville condo is certainly one of Swift’s most creative spaces, the singer-songwriter owns several other impressive pieces of property.
The 14-time Grammy winner’s $80 million real estate portfolio also features her $50 million NYC compound and her saltbox house on the coast of Rhode Island.
She also snagged up another property — known as the Northumberland Estate — in Nashville in June 2011, where she spends most of her time while in Music City.
