Taylor Swift’s $50 million New York home caught fire, star put out the flames herself, friend says

Taylor Swift’s  million New York home caught fire, star put out the flames herself, friend says

Taylor Swift once quickly put out a fire in her kitchen after a night of writing songs, eating dinner and drinking heavily in her $50 million Manhattan home, a friend revealed this week.

“She was such a legend – I don’t know how she knew what to do at that hour or in our state,” singer-songwriter Gracie Abrams told Billboard. “We both had a crazy cough for weeks from the fumes from the fire extinguisher.”

The couple had stayed up all night finishing Abrams’ new song “Us” and were playing each other tracks from her record “The Story of Us” and Swift’s yet-to-be-released “The Tortured Poets Department” when the fire broke out in the other room – initially unnoticed, the 24-year-old told the outlet.

She said they danced “like theater kids” to Swift’s “But Daddy I Love Him” ​​and that she herself “lay on the floor in disbelief” after hearing “The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived.”

They later realized that they had heard the candle fall over in the kitchen, she said, but the 34-year-old assured her at the time that it was probably just one of her cats.

Abrams also supported Swift on her “Eras” tour.

“She’s just the most incredible artist and the most generous friend, and the fact that she gave me a chance, I think, is the reason I get to be in this room tonight,” she said. “I realize that her belief in me really made a difference. So I’m forever deeply grateful to her.”

Swift recently celebrated the 100th show of her international tour in Liverpool, England, and admitted that it has “become my whole life.”
