Inside Taylor Swift’s luxurious Cotswolds retreat: The star might mingle with the Beckhams and Jeremy Clarkson at a £3,000-a-night hideaway near a private airport and Soho Farmhouse.
Taylor Swift has been enthralling Swifties on the UK leg of her Eras Tour since she jetted in at the start of this month.
But away from the limelight and sell-out stadium shows, the billionaire American popstar has opted to be surrounded by the tranquil British countryside ahead of her three-night run at Wembley.
The 34-year-old is renting out a £3.3milion bolthole near Chipping Norton in the Cotswolds at £3,000-a-night to ‘unwind’ with the countryside said to be her ‘happy place’.
The charming palatial Oxfordshire property is located close to a private airport, ideal for her £38million Dassault Falcon 900 private jet.
Just not far from there, David Cameron lives in the quiet rural area – as well as fashion icon Kate Moss, music mogul Simon Cowell and his Britain Got Talent’s co-star Amanda Holden.
David and Victoria Beckham’s £12million mansion is nearby, while Jeremy Clarkson, Elizabeth Hurley and Kate Winslet have all been pulled in by the rolling hills to set up home among the stunning landscape.
‘Taylor has booked the cottage while she is over in the UK,’ a source told The Sun.
‘She wants a place to unwind away from the tour and the countryside is her happy place.
‘Taylor loves dressing up in sequins on stage but is most at home in muddy boots in the fresh air.’
Her American footballer boyfriend Travis Kelce is ‘joining her for a getaway’ and the world’s most famous couple won’t be short of a few things to do.
Nearby is the exclusive private members’ club Soho Farmhouse, known as a hotspot for many celebrities and royalty with Princess Eugenie said to be a regular.
The plush club is also loved by Meghan Markle who was whisked away to the £695-a-night country retreat for her low-key hen do before she wed Prince Harry in 2018.
It has been labelled ‘Butlins for toffs’ and boasts celebrity guests such as Eddie Redmayne, Mark Ronson, Poppy Delevingne and George and Amal Clooney.
While on Swift’s doorstep sits Clarkson’s Diddly Squat Farm where she can stock up her pantry with cow juice, bee juice bites, or could even choose to purchase the former Top Gear host’s ‘b*****ks candle’.
Chipping Norton or nearby Stow-on-the-Wold are ideal for her to indulge in her obsession for antiques with a plethora of stores for her to browse.
The Bad Blood hitmaker kicked off the UK leg of her in Edinburgh on June 7, followed by Liverpool, and last night’s show in Cardiff.
She’s now got a few nights off before her three-night run at Wembley from June 21 to June 23.
Swift then heads to Dublin in Ireland on Friday June 25 for another three-night run before jetting off to Amsterdam.
The singer is often spotted in London and the Lake District, which have both featured in her lyrics, with fans speculating as to where she may return.
Fans have been speculating as to whether the singer will return to the Lake District, which she is known to love, on her trip.
She first witnessed the natural beauty of the Windermere peaks in 2012 when she visited with then-boyfriend Harry Styles while celebrating her 23rd birthday.
The singer went on to eulogise the nature-filled region in the lyrics of her song ‘The Lakes’, which featured on her 2020 album Folklore.
She wrote: ‘Take me to the lakes where all the poets went to die. I don’t belong, and my beloved, neither do you. Those Windermere peaks look like a perfect place to cry. I’m setting off, but not without my muse.’
In an excerpt from her documentary, Long Pond Studio Sessions, Swift spoke about the meaning behind her song ‘The Lakes’.
Speaking to American musician Jack Antonoff in the clip from the TikTok page, Escape to the Lakes, the songstress, explained the motivation behind the song which was a bonus track on her 2020 album, Folklore.
Jack, her musical collaborator and friend, asked Swift ‘what is the Lake District?’ to which she replied: ‘It’s in England and in the 19th Century it had a lot of poets. Like William Wordsworth and John Keats would spend a lot of time there and there was a poet district. These artists that moved there.
‘So The Lakes is really talking a lot about relating to people that hundreds of years ago had the same exit plan and did it. I may not be able to go to the Lakes right now but I am going there in my head and the escape plan is working.
‘The Lakes is the overarching theme of the whole album, trying to escape, or having something you want to protect your own sanity and saying look they did this hundreds of years ago, I’m not the first person who has felt this way, they did this.’
Swift’s unprecedented successful tour is said to boost the economy by almost £1billion with her 15 shows – yet fans are struggling with Airbnb’s prices on the rise during the dates.
