I don't know why this cracks me up: Taylor Swift pays cash for 17.5 million dollar mansion

[cali]

and I gotta admit she's got good taste. I know this house (from the outside) It's in Watch Hill, RI which is gorgeous- and has a wonderful old merry-go-round.

1. Crap, wish I could do that!!

[leftstreet]

2. Not sure who she is, but anyone know if she's single?

4. When you break up with her she'll trash you in a song

She gets all her hits from being dumped by young rock and rollers.

[eissa]

18. If I was a guy

I'd totally get with her. Send her texts every 10 minutes, "baby....I love you." Tell her we're soulmates, that she's my princess. And then BAM! Block her number and drop out of sight. Then wait for the song

19. And since EVERYBODY dumps her, she must be a real pain for a girlfriend ...

$17 mill CASH MONEY for a house ... that's a lot of cheddar for someone with so little talent.

C'mon, admit it. The girl CANNOT sing. Daddy bought her career for her, and Nashville decreed she was going to be popular.

5. Be careful what you wish for.

20. ROFL!

8. Must be nice to have that kind of dough. eom

11. It would be dumb to lock into a mortgage when you don't know

How long those fat ASCAP checks are going to be rolling in.

[geek tragedy]

12. Mortgages are for the little people.

And what's more, the 23-year-old reportedly wired the money directly and paid in cash, which might explain how the cost dropped from the original $20 million asking price

15. Yep.. though, I won't lie...

I wish I had made that kind of scratch from my music...

[Buzz Clik]

13. Well, she won't have to worry about her amortization schedule.

[eissa]

14. Maybe I'm weird

but I never understood why one person would need a place that huge. The location looks fantastic, but I'd be content with an average size cottage instead of getting lost in that monstrosity.

[winter is coming]

16. I can't imagine wanting to live in something that huge, either. n/t

[wercal]

17. I'm with you

I'd like to think that I would never buy something like that, even if I had the money.

But who knows. For these celebrities, life is a business. They probably have a full time personal assistant living there, an office with a few employees, etc.....and its gotta have a kitchen and staff to entertain...a few live in maids....and all the 'hangers on' have to stay somewhere.

Not my thing, but I can see why some like it.
