Taylor Swift was in the process of purchasing a seven-bedrooom, £8.3million home in London before she split up with British boyfriend Joe Alwyn, it has been claimed today.
Pop icon Taylor and actor Alwyn, who had been together for six years, had successfully offered on a Grade II listed luxury mansion in Belsize Park, north London, sources told The Sun on Sunday.
Reports of the couple’s split were revealed in US media last weekend.
Taylor Swift was spotted in London last October, around the time the for-sale property was taken off the market.
The couple had previously rented a property in nearby Primrose Hill, reports say, with the mansion in question worth in the region of £7million.

The period property has seven bedrooms, ‘enchanting’ garden and a wine cellar
It is unclear whether either the singer or actor will still move into the house, as Land Registry records show the ownership is subject to completion, the Sun reports.
Belsize Park is a highly affluent area of the capital, and has been home to other celebrities including Noel Gallagher, Helena Bonham Carter and Martin Freeman.
The £8.3million property is described as a ‘private’ and ‘exceptional period house’ with an ‘enchanting’ garden.
According to estate agent Savills, the property also has a wine cellar and garden flat.
Neighbours were reportedly aware that Swift had been planning to move in.
The private star took the unusual step of addressing her split with Alwyn on stage on Friday night, when she performed live for the first time since the break-up.
Performing in Tampa, Florida, she told fans: ‘Is it just me or do we have a lot of things to catch up on?’
During the performance, the star also played down the significance of her 2019 song Lover, which is said to have been written about Joe.
Before she began the track, she casually said to the audience: ‘The song we are going to play next, it’s just a love song, you know?’
