Ooh, did you hear about Taylor Swift’s house in Beverly Hills?
No, but if it’s in the news I can guess why. Filled it with gaudy marble pillars and flamingo lakes has she? Driven a Rolls-Royce into the swimming pool to be “edgy”?
Nope.
She’s installed a solid gold toilet then? In the shape of Harry Styles’s face?
Wrong.
Tom Hiddleston’s face?
She has not modelled her crapper on one of her ex-boyfriends.
Well it’ll be something tacky — always is with these pop stars. Pots of money, but not a thimble of good taste. It’s too much too young.
As a matter of fact, at the age of 27 she has done such a diligent job renovating the Georgian revival house and faithfully restoring its architectural splendour that it may soon be listed as a historical landmark.
A what?

The Beverly Hills Cultural Heritage Commission have voted in favour of Swift’s request to landmark the house. I think that means they like it.
So there aren’t even any electronic gates in the shape of Greek gods?
She seems to have very good taste. The house used to be owned by the movie mogul Samuel Goldwyn and was designed by the architect Douglas Honnold, and she’s keeping it in character.
Pah, to have all her swanky friends round for wild parties no doubt.
Actually, she seems to use her money quite sensibly. She also has houses in Nashville, New York and next to the beach in Rhode Island.

Are you jealous of Taylor Swift by any chance?
Yes.
