Taylor Swift is adding to her property portfolio after securing a $17.75 million deal for a new seaside home in Rhode Island.

The I Knew You Were Trouble hitmaker recently went house hunting along the U.S. northeast coast with her mother Andrea, father Scott and younger brother Austin, and she appears to have settled on a lavish estate in the town of Westerly.

The property, which boasts five bedrooms and sweeping views of the Atlantic Ocean, had reportedly been on the market for $20 million - but Swift managed to use her charms to negotiate the lower price -- she paid in cash.

Hope she held enough back to pay her fair share of Obamatax.

Why would anyone who lives in a fine state like Tennessee want to buy property in Rhode Island? Even if she’s taken up sailing, there are nice big lakes in Tennessee.

She owns a number of homes throughout the country.

A year ago, maybe 2, she bought a house by the Kennedy's. IIRC she bought it for about $4 mil and sold it a few months later for about $5 mil.

Thats not the first she's done that with. Seems real estate is becoming a hobby for her.

A lucrative hobby.

More power to her.

If it isn’t salt water, you aren’t really sailing.
