With 12,000 square feet, eight bedrooms, eight fireplaces, and a pool, the seaside home has plenty of room for parties and Swift has put the property to good use over the last decade. The lavish home has been the site of a number of Swift's parties over the years, including her memorable Fourth of July blowouts.
The home, formerly known as Holiday House, was built in 1904. It sits on the highest point in Watch Hill, Rhode Island, and features 700 feet of shoreline and views of Little Narragansett Bay, according to the real-estate site Zillow.
Swift even wrote the song "The Last Great American Dynasty" on her 2020 album "Folklore" album about the home's former owner, Rebekah Harkness.
"I got the house when I was in my early twenties as a place for my family to congregate and be together," Swift told Entertainment Weekly, saying that she learned about Harkness "as soon as I was being walked through [her former Rhode Island] home."
The house now has an assessed value of $20,434,100, according to property records.
According to local media (and since verified paparazzi photographs), Swift hosted a party at the property on August 24 — her first in quite some time.

The home was formerly named Holiday House but is locally known as the Harkness House, according to Vulture.
Swift reportedly paid for the mansion by wiring $17.75 million in cash to a realtor in 2013.
In 2016, Swift grabbed headlines when she hosted a wild Fourth of July party that included a massive inflatable slide in her backyard.

Thought to be "the highest point of direct waterfront land on the entire eastern seaboard," the home sits on 5.23 acres of waterfront property.
And it opens on to 700 feet of sandy shoreline — a perfect location for A-list parties.

In a since-deleted post from 2015, Swift's ex-boyfriend Calvin Harris shared a photo of the singer barbecuing outside the house.

Swift has also hosted other famous love interests at the property. In 2016, Tom Hiddleston made headlines after joining in on the fun.
In 2023, Swift made the annual Fourth of July party a girls only affair, writing on Instagram: "Happy belated Independence Day from your local neighborhood independent girlies."
Ironically, she ended the post "See you tonight Kansas Cityyy" as she was playing Arrowhead Stadium for her blockbuster Eras Tour — the concert which her future boyfriend, Travis Kelce, attended and set into motion his plan of wooing her.
Swift skipped a Fourth of July party in 2024 as she was touring. However, she and close friends did descend on the Rhode Island property for a party in late August.Blake Lively and Taylor Swift are seen in 2023 in New York City.

Swift held a star-studded pool party on August 24, according to Page Six.
In photos obtained by the outlet, Swift could be seen with her Kansas City Chiefs tight end boyfriend, as well as his teammate, Patrick Mahomes, his wife, and one of their two children.
It was also reported by the outlet Bradley Cooper and his 7-year old daughter were also there, meaning that this party was a much more family affair than previous ones.
Blake Lively and her husband, Ryan Reynolds were also reported to be at the property, with the New York Post speculating that the party had been thrown to celebrate Lively's 37th birthday which fell on August 25.
