Some of Taylor Swift’s fans are facing backlash online after speculating about possible reasons the pop superstar might be updating her Rhode Island home.
The controversy began when TikTok user @biggie.slime shared footage on the video-sharing platform showing what they identified as Swift’s home in Rhode Island. The home appeared to be under construction, as the TikTok user noted while asking in the caption for the video, “anyone know what she’s doing?”

The short video was filmed on the beach, with the camera pointing up toward the house situated on a small hill overlooking the water. Several Swifties weighed in within the post’s comment section as they guessed possible reasons the “Cruel Summer” songstress might have to bring in a construction team.
“My guesses.. cat room, recording studio/booth, room for Travis to record his podcast,” one TikTok user suggested, with their final guess referencing Swift’s boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, and his New Heights podcast.
“Minding my own business….but a podcast studio would be cool for Travis 🫶🏻,” another fan echoed.

Several people jokingly guessed that Swift was adding an extra room for them, with one writing, “it’s my guest wing.” Others suggested the “Anti-Hero” songstress, who wrapped up her hit international Eras Tour last month, was “installing the eras tour stage per my request” or “Installing an eras tour museum.”
While many offered earnest and silly guesses, some fans criticized the speculation entirely, slamming the “invasive” video and writing that the 14-time Grammy Award winner’s “house is not our business.”
“This is creepy. This is not a swift vibe,” one TikTok user wrote as another agreed, writing, “this is so creepy.”
“She’s doing a lot of none of your business,” one fan wrote while another suggested Swift might be making “a private deck so she can rest in peace without people filming her?”
“Hey this is a wild idea, one that probably haven’t thought of… has it crossed your mind that maybe it’s simply none of our business? Crazy right? 🤭,” another TikTok user wrote.
