Looks like Taylor Swift has some new “Bad Blood” brewing, and this time… it’s not with Kim Kardashian or Katy Perry. Turns out, it’s with a real estate broker, who claims her companies Firefly Entertainment and 13 Management are refusing to pay them $1 million dollars in commission for the purchase of her new townhouse in NYC! Click through for all the details.
Page Six reported that an unnamed broker of the brokerage firm Douglas Elliman introduced a rep for Taylor to the owner of 153 Franklin Street in trendy Tribeca last year, which abuts a building where the she has a duplex penthouse.
Although the same broker showed the Swift representative the digs at 153 Franklin Street, another broker took the deal. According to the complaint filed in the case on Thursday, the broker from Elliman had a written promise to exclusively represent Swift's companies in the purchase of the townhouse.
The same broker even showed the rep alternatives from 153 Franklin Street, and did a ton of leg work in the process. Ultimately, the Elliman agent was cut out of the deal, according to the lawsuit.

Douglas Elliman is suing for the commission, which equals six percent of the sale price. The total? $1.08 million!
There may be a loop hole in all of this, as her management company, Firefly, excluded Douglas Elliman from the October closing, the suit says. The case is pending.
Should the unnamed broker “Shake it Off” or try to get a seven figure payout? Sound off in the comments!
