Taylor Swift – a name synonymous with chart-topping hits and a myriad of awards – is not only a global music icon but also a connoisseur of a diverse range of cars.
The 33-year-old musical juggernaut has a net worth of over $570 million and real estate empire worth over $150 million. With so much notoriety (and money) many celebrities opt to hire a chauffeur, but unlike them, Taylor has often been spotted driving herself.
Mirroring her musical versatility, Swift has quite a range of cars in her fleet.
Let’s tour through the garage of this pop sensation and explore the symphony on wheels that is Taylor Swift’s car collection.
And before you ask, no she isn’t the proud owner of a Suzuki Swift. We’re sad to learn about that too.
Chevrolet Silverado
Swift’s first car was ahead of its time. The Barbie pink Chevrolet Silverado is an all-American pick-up truck that was gifted to her for her 18th birthday by her then-record label Big Machine Records.
The Silverado, known for its durability and (Shake it)off-road capabilities, is a nod to Swift’s early days in the country music scene.
It’s reported that the singer later donated the truck to a children’s charity, Victory Junction.
Lexus SC430 convertible
Inspired by the iconic 2004 teen movie Mean Girls, Swift's first car purchase was a Lexus SC430 convertible, the same one driven by the ringleader of the ‘Plastics’ clique Regina George.
In an interview with The Guardian, Taylor explained, "All the girls who were mean to me in middle school, like, idolised the Plastics. I think I chose that car as a kind of rebellion against that type of girl.”
We love the idea that Taylor got to recreate the legendary ‘get in loser, we’re going shopping’ scene.
Nissan Qashqai
As reported by The U.S Sun, the Grammy-winning artist incorporated this compact SUV into her collection in 2022 so she could fly under the radar in London with her then-boyfriend, Joe Alwyn.
Available in Australia from $33,890 for the face-lifted '23 model, maybe a humble car like the Qashqai could be housing some of our favourite local celebs. Kylie, we’re looking at you.
Toyota Sequoia
Taylor has been papped putting groceries in the back seats of her rugged 2015 Sequoia – another surprisingly humble choice for the multi-millionaire.
Perhaps a coincidence but the paint colour of the Toyota Sequoia is named Midnight Black Metallic. Could it be a potential homage to the singer’s most recent album, Midnights?
We don’t necessarily know if it’s worth reaching out to Toyota North America for comment…
Audi R8
Swift has been spotted cruising around in this sleek and powerful vehicle with her ex-boyfriend, Twilight star Taylor Lautner.
The older Audi R8 which boasts either a V8 or V10 engine is a testament to Swift’s penchant for style. However, it hasn’t been confirmed if the vehicle belongs to Swift or the other Taylor.
Porsche 911 Turbo
Adding a touch of classic elegance to her collection is the Porsche 911 Turbo.
This iconic 2.8 second 0-100km/h sports car, with its timeless design, is the perfect performance getaway car.
The Porsche is a favourite among car enthusiasts and fellow celebs including pop star Rhianna and Microsoft founder Bill Gates.
Mercedes-Benz Viano
For those days when Swift is on tour or travelling with her entourage, the Mercedes-Benz Viano is her go-to vehicle. With its spacious interior and luxury features, the Viano lets Swift travel in comfort, whether she’s heading to a concert venue or a red-carpet event.
It’s been speculated that Swift will be using a Mercedes van for the Australian portion of her tour here next year. Keep your eyes peeled for those blacked-out windows.
Chevrolet Chevelle
Taylor was recently spotted leaving a game with NFL player Travis Kelce in his 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle convertible.
On his podcast with his brother, New Heights, Kelce spoke of the Chevelle proclaiming it “looks so sweet” and “always sounds so mean”.
The classic car might not be part of Swift’s collection but based on her previous keen interest in cars, we might be seeing her in the driver's seat of this Chevy soon.
