Taylor Swift faces more than $3,000 in fines for not cleaning trash from outside her home

Taylor Swift is facing more than $3,000 in fines for trash left outside of her New York City home.

The 33-year-old singer is currently embarking on her hugely popular 'Eras' tour, while also involved in the fallout of her rumoured breakup with Matt Healy, just weeks after the music pair got together.

But another issue is now facing Swift as she has built up thousands of dollars worth of fines as a result of rubbish sitting outside her New York home.

The 'Bad Blood' singer has allegedly been handed 32 fines for failing to keep the front of her residency clean, with the fines totalling $3,010.

The hefty fines stretch out over a long period of time too, with records obtained by the New York Post stating they were issued to Swift between January 2018 and January 2023.

Inspectors have apparently rocked up to Swift's townhouse and were said to be unhappy with the dirty pavements outside, alongside the singer's 'improper disposal of garbage'.

It is said the pavement outside of Swift's swanky residence is full of piles of newspapers, bottles, cardboard and napkins.

The New York Post also stated 'a couple of smushed cigarette butts' were found outside the property.

The townhouse actually only acts as a private entrance to her penthouse next door, which Swift is said to have spent $30 million on.

But it seems the singer isn't having any of it, apparently, as she's managed to fight some of the penalties - resulting in $200 being knocked off the total sum.

One local is not impressed with the pop star, with the 22-year-old dog walker telling The Post: "She doesn’t care about leaving trash out. I think she’s more focused on her multi-million dollar tour that’s bankrupting all her fans."

Meanwhile, a former landlord of Swift had nothing bad to say about the 'Blank Space' artist.

David Aldea, Swift's former landlord, told The Post: "She was nothing but a perfect tenant the entire time and lovely to deal with. I have nothing but positive things to say about her."

Many fans of Swift have leapt to her defence, with some blaming fans on leaving the trash outside her home as they try to get a glimpse of the singer.

"It’s probably the fans waiting for her and smoking while they’re bored. She doesn’t even smoke!" one fan on social media wrote.

Guilty or not, some have even wondered why Swift is challenging the fines, especially considering a sum of $3,000 is literal pennies to her.

Her current world tour is set to gross more than $1 billion, which is also set to break records in the music biz.
