Taylor Swift Rumored To Have Bought $17 Million Mansion In R.I.

WESTERLY, R.I. (AP) — There is some celebrity watching going on in Watch Hill.

The Providence Journal reports that a seaside mansion in the Westerly neighborhood sold on Friday for $17.75 million.

The celebrity web site TMZ says singer Taylor Swift bought a home in the neighborhood this weekend.

James Michelove, owner of Seaboard Properties, tells the Journal that the home is well over 10,000 square feet, on an almost 6-acre lot that overlooks Block Island Sound and Little Narragansett Bay.

But Michelove says a confidentiality agreement prevents him from saying who purchased the home.

TMZ published photos of Swift touring the property earlier this month.
