With its private beach, awe-inspiring ocean view and 10 luxurious bedrooms, Taylor Swift’s $17m Rhode Island mansion is arguably the perfect place to weather a PR storm.

Or at least, that’s the approach Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds have taken amid with The Ends with us backlash.

The A-List couple were pictured sharing a kiss outside the pop star’s sprawling beachside mansion yesterday as Ryan arrived at the pop star’s pool party.

Over the past few weeks, Blake has been criticised online for promoting her alcohol brand Betty Buzz alongside the film about domestic violence and how she appeared to make light of its serious subject matter in interviews.

But Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds aren’t the only celebrities who have retreated to Taylor’s holiday home lately.

NFL star Patrick Mahomes and his wife Brittany was also at the property – after the mother-of-two was slammed online for ‘liking’ one of Donald Trump’s Instagram posts.

Since Taylor purchased the property in 2013, the pop star has welcomed countless A-List guests – including ex-boyfriends Tom Hiddleston, Calvin Harris and Joe Jonas – to the mansion and hosted several of her famous ‘Taymerica’ 4th July parties.

Meanwhile, members of her disbanded girl squad – including Gigi Hadid, Selena Gomez and Cara Delevingne – are also Rhode Island regulars.

So why is Rhode Island such a special place for Taylor and her pals? Here FEMAIL delves into the star’s history with the beachside mansion and how it’s become a haven for her celebrity guests in crisis.
