When she was not busy breaking records on the Australian leg of her Eras world tour, Taylor Swift got to put her feet up in one of Sydney's most expensive penthouses.
The "Bad Blood" singer has just finished four sold-out shows in Sydney's Accor Stadium and when she was not performing stayed in a A$40,000 (US$26,144) presidential suite.
The two-floor penthouse overlooks the iconic Sydney Harbour with immaculate views of the world famous Harbour Bridge and Sydney Opera House.
An Australian media site shared the details of Swift's rumored accommodation on TikTok in the city after she finished her run of shows there.
Situated on the 88th floor atop the Crown Towers, the suite has floor-to-ceiling windows, a kitchen, bar, pool table, heated infinity pool, a dining room that can host up to 10 people and a media room.
The second floor hosts the master bedroom complete with a marble spa and steam shower in a spacious bathroom. The second king-size bedroom features a deluxe ensuite, which connects to the fitness room complete with infrared sauna.
It also includes a massage suite, private butler service, an office and a secondary living area that opens out onto an open-air terrace.
Newsweek contacted Swift's representatives by email for comment.
Swift would need the ultimate luxury to rest after performing her three-and-a-half hours shows. In Sydney, she played the Sydney Olympic Park stadium for four nights in a row, becoming the first person to do so. Around 300,000 people got to see the mammoth production in that time.
Her Aussie tour kicked off in Melbourne, where she played to 96,000 people every night for three nights.
Even though the luxurious penthouse is available at eye-watering prices, it is well with Swift's means after she became a billionaire in 2023, due largely to the Eras tour, for which she earns roughly $10 million per show
It has already become the highest-grossing live music tour of all time and is expected to make more than $2 billion at the end of its 151-show run.
The previous record holder was Sir Elton John's Farewell Yellow Brick Road Tour, which earned $939 million over five years and 328 shows.
Then there's her concert movie called Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour, which she released on her birthday in December. It made $92 million on its first weekend alone and became the highest-grossing domestic concert film of all time just on those opening days.
