Taylor Swift’s childhood home reportedly sold for $1 million

It’s not the famous “Christmas Tree Farm,” but one of the houses that Taylor Swift lived in as a kid in Pennsylvania has been sold for a cool million bucks.

Taylor and her family moved into a rented five-bedroom, five-bathroom house in Wyomissing, PA when she was 10.  When she was 14, her family relocated to Hendersonville, TN.  The New York Post reports that in February, that home was put on the market for $1.1 million, and after a $100K price cut, it went into contract this past Friday.

The house, which has changed hands several times since Taylor and her family moved out, is more than 3,500 square feet and features hardwood flooring, a fireplace, gourmet kitchen, wet bar, heated pool and a hot tub.

As for that Christmas tree farm that Taylor sings about, that’s where she and her family lived before they moved into that five-bedroom rented home. Her dad, who worked in finance, bought the farm from a client and, Taylor told Esquire, he would “tend to the farm as his hobby.”

Since leaving Pennsylvania, Taylor’s gone on to acquire an extensive real estate portfolio, with homes in Los Angeles, New York City, Rhode Island, Nashville and, reportedly, London.

“Fatherhood is something I have always looked forward to”: Britney’s fiancé Sam Asghari weighs in

After Britney Spears posted a message on Instagram that seemed to indicate that she’s expecting a baby, her fiancé Sam Asghari took to his Instagram feed to post a message that may or may not confirm the speculation.

“Marriage and kids are a natural part of a strong relationship filled with love and respect,” Sam wrote next to an image of two lions with a cub — it’s worth noting that his pet name for Britney is “lioness.”

He continued, “Fatherhood is something i have always looked forward to and i don’t take lightly. It is the most important job i will ever do.”

Interestingly, Sam wrote “marriage and kids.”  Britney has referred to Asghari several times as “my husband,” but it’s not clear if the two have actually tied the knot.

As previously reported, Britney posted earlier in the day, “So I got a pregnancy test … and uhhhhh well … I am having a baby.” But since she also referred several times to being “food pregnant” — as in, eating too much — it wasn’t exactly clear if she was serious.

At least one of Britney’s friends took her post seriously: Paris Hilton commented, “Congratulations sis!! I’m so excited for you!! Love you!!!”

If Britney and Sam are indeed expecting, this will be Britney’s third child: She and her ex-husband Kevin Federline share sons Sean and Jayden who are 16 and 15, respectively.

Buckingham contributed electric guitar to the song, which also features backing vocals from ex-Beach Boys touring members Chris Farmer and Matt Jardine, the latter the son of founding Beach Boys member Al Jardine.

BTS‘ RM let fans know they aren’t offended by what their haters say.  “Hating is their freedom, and they have their right to hate, but if it was me, I’d rather just talk with my friends in some cafe where I can forget about it rather than tweeting about it or some interview,” he told the crowds in Vegas, reports Billboard. “Let the haters hate, let the lovers love.”

Lady Gaga might be making the soundtrack for Tom Cruise‘s Top Gun: Maverick.  A fan stumbled upon a purported movie poster that credits Gaga in the “music by” section and he shared the video to his Twitter. Her name is sandwiched between composers Harold Faltermeyer and Hans Zimmer.  The poster has not been verified.

Joe Jonas is teaming with Peloton for its new YouTube series On the Leaderboard with Peloton.  The 10-minute episode will feature Joe exercising on a treadmill along with an instructor while being interviewed via rapid-fire questions. 

Ed Sheeran continued to celebrate his “Shape of You” court victory by playing pool with the patrons at a Birmingham bar, reports the Daily Mail.  The locals say Ed was “really laid back” and acted like “a gentleman.”

Bebe Rexha has some fond memories of Katy Perry, telling Entertainment Tonight, “I opened for her in Brazil and that was an insane experience.  She was so kind, and she, like, took me on tour. She took me and my whole squad out to dinner. We went to an amazing steak restaurant, and I thought it was so sweet.”

Sam Smith confirmed he’s working on new music, sharing a black and white photo of him in the recording studio.  No other teasers were provided.

Shawn Mendes has released the acoustic version of “When You’re Gone,” which you can listen to now.

Sara Bareilles is having some puppy problems, and she asked her fans on her Instagram story to help her figure out why her dog Louie is suddenly going potty inside the house. Sara insisted that Louie had “no trouble until last night,” and hopes fans can help her correct this unwanted behavior.

Lady Gaga might be making the soundtrack for Tom Cruise‘s Top Gun: Maverick. A fan stumbled upon a purported movie poster that credits Gaga in the “music by” section, and he shared the video to his Twitter. Her name is sandwiched between composers Harold Faltermeyer and Hans Zimmer. The poster has not been verified.

Joe Jonas is teaming with Peloton for its new YouTube series, On the Leaderboard with Peloton. The 10-minute episode will feature Joe exercising along with an instructor while answering rapid-fire questions. Joe’s episode will see him on a treadmill instead of Peloton’s signature bike.

Ed Sheeran continues to celebrate his “Shape of You” court victory, and on Sunday he was spotted playing pool with the patrons at a Birmingham bar, reports Daily Mail. The locals say Ed was “really laid back” and acted like “a gentleman.” He also jumped behind the bar and started slinging drinks — joking with the manager that he’s now on the payroll.

Sam Smith confirmed that they’re recording new music, sharing a caption-less black-and-white photo of them in the recording studio.  Sam previously wrote in a letter to fans that they have new music in the pipeline, adding, “It feels massively exciting to be creating something new again. I can’t wait for you to hear the magic that’s happening.”

And lastly, Shawn Mendes released the acoustic version of “When You’re Gone,” which you can listen to now.

–In a recent interview with Complex, Memphis rapper Key Glock opened up for the first time since the passing of his cousin, rapper Young Dolph. 

Key Glock, born Markeyvius LaShun Cathey, says he doesn’t necessarily feel any better or worse since learning of his cousin’s murder, but that he is “content.”

He reveals that he was “at home, laying down” the moment he learned of the tragic news, and says that he isn’t sure there’s anything that can be done or said to help make him get past it. 

Young Dolph, whose given name is Adolph Robert Thornton Jr., who also was from Memphis, was gunned down outside of a local cookie shop in November of last year. His death came as a shock to many, since he’d been known as a community leader, often giving back to the neighborhood that raised him. 

–Rapper T.I. has ventured from music into comedy, and the rapper’s journey is starting off to be a shaky one. 

He appeared in front of a packed audience in Brooklyn on Saturday, only to be booed multiple times throughout his set.

TIP was one of a few acts performing as part of the “April Fools Comedy Jam,” along with comedians  Nick Cannon, Bruce Bruce, Jacob Williams and more. After being booed by the large crowd, T.I. called on DJ Envy to play a song and thanked the audience for allowing him practice his new craft. 

He shared a clip of the humbling moment on Instagram, saying, “Embracing every part of the process…Enjoying every step of the journey. We don’t fold we FIGHT‼️ Fall or fly til the bitter end. New York I Love You & Thank You for one of my favorite moments in my comedic career.”

Ava Max is getting ready for her new music era, and she took to Instagram on Monday to tease the title track of her forthcoming album, Maybe You’re the Problem.

The “Motto” hitmaker shared an acoustic video of her playing piano and singing into a microphone. The lyrics go, “But with you/ It’s always my fault/ And your short fuse/ Just like a time bomb/ And I think you should take a second just to look at your reflection, baby/ Maybe you’re the problem/ Okay, you/ You say you’re battered/ Your point of view/ Got it all backwards/ You should take a little finger and point it in the mirror, baby/ Maybe you’re the problem.”

It’s unknown when the ballad will drop, but the song is a departure from the upbeat, electrically charged works we’ve come to expect from Ava.  

She previously told Billboard that her forthcoming album documents “the hardest year of my life.” While Ava insisted that it will still contain “anthemic and pop” tracks, she also noted, “I think it’s a little different. It’s more personal and I hope the fans [like it].”

She went on to tease, “This music will say a lot,” and added that a new single will be on the way shortly. 

“I’ve never written anything so personal and it’s probably some of the best music I’ve ever written,” Ava said about the project.

“I feel like a piece of my heart is coming out and I’m super nervous about it,” she added, but did not reveal a release date. She did hint, however, that the studio effort will contain some more music collaborations.

Is Britney Spears pregnant? She appears to say so in new Instagram post

Is Britney Spears pregnant?  Fans were sent into a tizzy Monday when she shared a post that seems to indicate that she’s expecting.

Taking to Instagram, Britney explained she “lost so much weight to go on my Maui trip only to gain it back … I thought ‘Geez … what happened to my stomach ???'”

Again referring to fiancé Sam Asghari as her “husband” — the same as she did in an Instagram post last week — Britney said he believed she was “food pregnant,” but she felt it might be more than that.

“So I got a pregnancy test … and uhhhhh well … I am having a baby,” Britney declared.  “4 days later I got a little more food pregnant. It’s growing !!! If 2 are in there … I might just [sic] loose it.” 

Britney also announced she “won’t be going out as much” to avoid any paparazzi hoping to score a “money shot” of her.

Britney also opened up about her struggles when she was expecting sons Sean and Jayden, who are now 16 and 15, respectively.

“It’s hard because when I was pregnant I had perinatal depression … I have to say it is absolutely horrible,” Britney revealed.  This marks the first time she’s spoken publicly about experiencing pregnancy-related depression.

“Women didn’t talk about it back then … some people considered it dangerous if a woman complained like that with a baby inside her … but now women talk about it everyday,” Britney added. “Thank Jesus we don’t have to keep that pain a reserved proper secret.”

The National Institute of Mental Health says perinatal depression occurs during or after a pregnancy and can cause extreme sadness and fatigue, as well as other mental and emotional difficulties.  

Last year, Britney told a judge that one of the things she most wanted to do was have another baby, but claimed that her conservators had prevented her from doing so.

ABC News has reached out to Britney’s team for comment.
