Taylor Swift 'facing fines of almost €3k for failing to clean rubbish outside New York townhouse'

Taylor Swift has reportedly built up thousands of dollars worth of fines because of rubbish which has been left outside of her New York City home, according to reports.

The 33-year-old singer has allegedly been ticketed a whopping 32 times for failing to keep the area in front of her building clean, with the fines totalling $3,010 (£2,370).

The fines, which have been issued by New York's Sanitation Department, are said to have been given to Taylor between January 2018 and January 2023.

Inspectors were allegedly unhappy with the dirty pavement outside of Taylor's three-story townhouse as well as the singer's "improper disposal of garbage".

According to records obtained by The New York Post, the area outside of Taylor's Tribeca home was full of piles of newspapers, bottles, cardboard and napkins.

The publication reported that there were also "scattered ashtray contents" and a cigarette carton on the floor.

The Mirror has approached Taylor's representatives for comment.

A 22-year-old dog walker told the publication Taylor "doesn’t care about leaving trash out" and suggested she is "more focused on her multi-million dollar tour".

However, others rushed to defend Taylor, with several fans pointing out how Taylor doesn't smoke.

A former landlord of Taylor's 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."

While Taylor may have racked up thousands in fines, it seems she won't struggle to pay the fee as her world tour is set to gross more than $1billion (€916m).

According to Fortune, this is a threshold that "no artist has ever hit".
