Taylor Swift has reportedly hired a £3.3 million home in the Cotswolds for the UK leg of her famous Eras tour.
Swapping the tranquil countryside for the swanky city, it seems also her NFL star boyfriend Travis Kelce will be ‘joining her for a getaway’.
‘Taylor has booked the cottage while she is over in the UK,’ a source told The Sun.
‘She wants a place to unwind away from the tour and the countryside is her happy place.’
‘Taylor loves dressing up in sequins on stage but is most at home in muddy boots in the fresh air.’

Taylor Swift has reportedly leased a £3.3 million cottage in the Cotswolds to stay for the UK leg of her famous Eras tour (seen in Stockholm).
MailOnline contacted Taylor’s reps for comment.
The Cotswolds area is near to Soho Farmhouse, an elite private members’ club that is a popular hangout for many celebrities.
David Cameron, fashion icon Kate Moss, music magnate Simon Cowell, and his BGT co-star Amanda Holden all live nearby in the tranquil rural area.
The Bad Blood hitmaker will begin her UK tour in Edinburgh on June 7, followed by Liverpool, Cardiff, and a plethora of live shows in London from June through August.
Taylor’s unusually successful tour is expected to stimulate the economy by around £1 billion with her 15 gigs, but fans are struggling as Airbnb costs climb throughout the dates.
According to The Mirror, the average cost per night in Edinburgh is around £769, but the weekend before it was £237.88, representing a 223% rise over the weekend of her tour dates.
Edinburgh proved to surge with prices higher than any other date, but the cost of Airbnb in Liverpool increased from £99.64 per night to £202.59 during the gig dates, more than double.
The ‘least damage’ is believed to be in Cardiff, which also hosts her only live event, where Airbnb sees an 18% hike from £185.07 to £156.44.

The music legend will perform at London’s Wembley Stadium on many occasions, and Alt Index calculated the average cost by looking at Travelodge hotels within three miles of the stadium.
The average cost of a one-night stay while she performs on June 21-23 is £222.60.
However, the previous week’s equivalent time period was £109.93, representing a 102% gain.
The superstar will return to London for another round of live shows on August 15, 16, 17, 19, and 20, when the average cost of a one-night stay at a nearby Travelodge is £167.96, representing a 91% rise during the tour dates.
Consumer expert Scott Dixon of The Complaints Resolver told the publication, “This is blatant profiteering and extortion, which cannot be justified.” No hotel or Airbnb could justify asking nearly £800 for a single night.
‘This underscores why consumers should plan ahead of time, factor in these fees, and explore other locations when purchasing event tickets.’
