Business Insider/Paul Schrodt

Pop superstar Taylor Swift has made headlines worldwide since photos revealed she may be dating British actor Tom Hiddleston.

If they need somewhere to get away from all the attention, Taylor’s new $40,000 (£28,000) a month West Village townhouse in New York City could be the perfect place.

It has five bedrooms, two living rooms, a private garage and a swimming pool.

Estate agent Lawrie Cornish calls it “one of the finest rental properties available in the area,” and looking at the pictures it is easy to see why.

This bedroom is a bit more baroque, with lounge lighting and a fancy chandelier.

The guest bedroom would count as a decent-sized master bedroom by most New York standards.

Taylor Swift is apparently a keen cook who will undoubtedly enjoy this state of the art kitchen.

The big living room still manages to feel cosy thanks to the giant rug over the hard wood floors.

But if Taylor wants some more space there's another living room, which is so big it could be an art gallery.

Perhaps the best thing about the house is the basement swimming pool. It even has its own chandelier.
