Country singer Taylor Swift buys herself a Beverly Hills estate

Singer-songwriter Taylor Swift has bought herself a Beverly Hills estate - just three months after buying her parents a home in Nashville.

The young star splashed out $1.4 million for the luxury home for her parents Andrea and Scott Swift back in April.

Now she has bought her own compound for more than $3.5 million that's, fittingly, a little bit country.

On close to 1.5 acres, the three-bedroom, three and a half bathroom main house sits behind gates at the end of a long driveway.

It has a countryside vibe with dormer windows, vine-covered arbors, stone paths and wood fencing.

The first-floor master suite has dual bathrooms and walk-in closets while French doors open to the grounds, which include a patio with an outdoor fireplace off the back of the house and a lighted paddle tennis court. 

The guesthouse contains a high-ceilinged living room with a fireplace, a kitchen, one bedroom and a bathroom.

Swift, just 21, won four Grammys for her work on the album Fearless and song White Horse last year. 

The country performer raised $750,000 for tornado victims at a recent benefit concert in Nashville.
