Taylor Swift has come a long way from the Pennsylvania farm she grew up on. The superstar is now the richest female musician in the world thanks to an impressive catalogue of hit albums and a roster of sell-out world tours, the latest of which made her a billionaire.

Unsurprisingly, she's built up a huge collection of real estate on the road to stardom, worth around $95 million (£71m).

It's been a momentous few years for Taylor Swift. Her relationship with footballer Travis Kelce has dominated headlines, and so too has her financial success. The star's Eras Tour propelled her to billionaire status and a net worth of $1.6 billion (£1.2bn).

Despite spending 21 months on tour, Taylor is something of a homebody and has an amazing collection of properties to retire to. However, home sweet home looks a little different than it used to. Let's take a look back at where it all began.

Taylor Swift was born on 13 December 1989 to Scott and Andrea Swift. Her younger brother Austin joined the family two years later.

A rather idyllic start to life, Taylor spent her formative years on an 11-acre (4.5ha) Christmas tree farm near Reading, Pennsylvania.

The star is pictured here as a toddler with her parents at the property, known as Pine Ridge, which went on to inspire her 2019 festive hit Christmas Tree Farm.

Swift's father, Scott, was a financial advisor and her mother, Andrea, was a marketing executive, so Taylor enjoyed a relatively comfortable childhood in Pennsylvania.

During her 2018 Reputation world tour, the singer took a nostalgic trip back to Pine Ridge. She's seen here in front of a rustic shed on the property holding an old photo album showing her younger self playing in front of the same structure more than a decade earlier.

During the same visit, Taylor posed in her old childhood bedroom with a few celebrity friends who joined her on the trip. The snug room features sash windows, wall panelling and enough space for a single bed.

Taylor's interest in music began when she was young. As a child, her mother would take her to Berks Youth Theatre Academy after school and she went on to star in numerous productions including Grease and The Sound of Music.
