Taylor Swift Gets Fined by Sanitation Department for the Trash Outside NYC Home
Award-winning pop star Taylor Swift has been entangled in a legal predicament after accumulating a series of fines for leaving trash outside her prestigious New York City residence, Eurasia Review noted.
The singer-songwriter, who acquired a luxurious three-story townhouse in Tribeca in October 2017, reportedly received a staggering 32 tickets for the unsightly waste around her property.
The fines, totaling a little over $3,000, were issued by sanitation inspectors for various violations, including failing to maintain a clean area in front of her building, improper garbage disposal, and neglecting to keep the sidewalk tidy.
Despite her substantial net worth, estimated at $570 million, Swift managed to negotiate a reduction of $200 from the penalties with the assistance of her legal team.
Witnesses have observed the unsightly mess outside Swift's residence from newspapers, bottles, empty cardboard, napkins, and cigarette remnants, including an ashtray and a cigarette carton.
Being in a private residence, Taylor Swift is obligated to maintain the cleanliness of the surrounding area, given that she converted the property into a more private residence.
However, the recurring incidents of trash accumulation have sparked criticism, leading some to assert that her reputation may suffer due to the unappealing sight.

While some criticize her for the recurring issue, others defend her and attribute the problem to enthusiastic fans congregating outside her residence.

Swift has already amassed over $300 million from the first 22 dates of her tour, according to data from Pollstar, a renowned music industry trade publication.
