Taylor Swift is renovating her Rhode Island mansion to become her main family home with Travis Kelce: source
Taylor Swift is giving her Rhode Island mansion a major facelift — in hopes that this will be her main family home with her boyfriend Travis Kelce, The Post has learned.
The “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.
Providence Journal was the first to report on the renovation.
Swift’s seaside palace, infamous for her star-studded Fourth of July bashes, is set for a serious glow-up.

A source tells The Post the renovations are part of a bigger plan to expand the home for a future family with Travis Kelce.
Plans include a 400-square-foot expansion that will transform part of the sprawling 11,000-square-foot home into an upgraded bedroom suite and lounge.
The overhaul doesn’t stop there — the “Cardigan” singer is also redesigning the kitchen and adding another bedroom to the main house.
Permits for the project were quietly filed in late November and early December 2024, with construction allowed through December 2025.
The building permit was officially granted on Jan. 13, records obtained by The Post show, but with a note that stated: “Work shall not proceed until the inspector has approved the various stages of construction.”

“This is going to be her main home base and where she and Kelce will hopefully raise a family one day,” the insider told The Post.
The Post has reached out to Swift’s reps for comment.
The mansion — perched on over 5 acres of manicured gardens with a massive patio, pool house and a private 700-foot stretch of beach — has long been Swift’s go-to getaway.
Swift, 34, was last seen at the estate in August 2024, unwinding with Kelce and close friends after wrapping the European leg of her record-breaking Eras Tour.
The Grammy winner skipped her traditional July 4th party this year due to tour commitments but made up for it with an intimate gathering in August.

The Kansas City Chiefs tight end isn’t the only VIP to enjoy Swift’s Rhode Island retreat. NFL superstar Patrick Mahomes and his wife, Brittany, recently joined the couple for some seaside relaxation. In past years, Swift’s exes — Tom Hiddleston, Calvin Harris and Joe Jonas — have also graced the estate, alongside her famous girl squad members Gigi Hadid, Selena Gomez and Cara Delevingne.
Also over the summer her gal pal Blake Lively celebrated her birthday at the beachfront estate.
Swift originally scooped up the eight-bedroom, 10-bathroom property in 2013 at just 23 years old, paying the full $17.75 million price tag in one swift (no pun intended) wire transfer.
Reports at the time suggested Swift’s interest in the estate was sparked by its proximity to ex-boyfriend Conor Kennedy’s family compound in nearby Newport. He’s a 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.
