No castle for this country-pop princess! Taylor Swift took to her Twitter on Tuesday, Aug. 11, to squash speculation that she was purchasing a Scottish castle to be closer to the family of her boyfriend Calvin Harris.
It was reported this week that the hitmaker, 25, was "eyeing" the Tower of Lethendy, a 16th century Scottish castle, featuring an 18-hole golf course, pool, and eight bedrooms. The property, valued at £4.6million, is located about an hour away from Edinburgh, where her boyfriend's family lives.
Naturally, the 1989 singer used a lyric from "New Romantics," a bonus track from the deluxe version of her latest album, to quell the chatter.
"Cause baby I could build a castle out of all the bricks they threw at me" -a line from New Romantics But I'm not actually buying a castle.

While there's no Scottish castle in the works for Swift, Us Weekly exclusively revealed last month that Harris was introducing his girlfriend of four months to his family. “They’re planning a trip to the UK with a few days in Scotland so she can meet his parents,” an insider told Us at the time.
Meanwhile, the "How Deep Is Your Love" DJ had already met Swift's mom Andrea and dad Scott. "They think he’s the greatest," added another source. "Taylor spent a long time being single, waiting for the right guy like him."
And it seems like the feeling's mutual. In an interview with Hits Radio last month, Harris gushed about his multitasking, beautiful girlfriend. "It's boxes I didn't even know existed, she ticks," he said of Swift's many talents. "It's really ridiculous… She's generally an incredible cook and human being."
Her sense of humor remains on point, too. Following her tweet about the castle, Swift posted a hilarious photo of her cat Olivia Benson looking miffed with one paw resting on a seat.
