Singer Taylor Swift has reportedly made almost a $1 million (£625,000) profit after selling the Massachusetts house she bought to be near to her ex-boyfriend, Conor Kennedy.

The Love Story hitmaker spent $4.8 million (£3 million) last summer (12) on an oceanside estate in Hyannis Port, near the compound owned by the Kennedy family.

In a new Vanity Fair interview, Swift remained coy about the rumour, insisting, "Apparently I buy houses near every boy I like."

However, real estate agent Bob Kinlin tells EOnline.com he did sell the seven-bedroom home to Swift last August (12) via her 13 Management company.

He says, "I never physically met her, but she has obviously an entourage of people that represent her. And the property did close for $4.8 million."

Kinlin also reveals Swift made almost $1 million after selling the mansion to a couple for $5.7 million (£3.6 million) last month (Feb13), despite only owning the home for seven months.
