Taylor Swift is building a pond in her living room.

The 'Love Story' singer is planning to turn her new home in Nashville, Tennessee, into a fairytale palace and can't wait for building work to be completed.

She said: "It's going to be my fantasy world. There's a pond in the living room... The pond is a moat around the fireplace and may possibly have koi fish in it."

The pond is not the only unusual feature the 20-year-old star is planning for her home as she has also come up with a unique design for an observatory - a human bird cage.

She explained to Rolling Stone magazine: "You step on a stepping stone in the pond in order to get on a spiral staircase, which takes you up to the human-sized bird cage observatory.

"They're delivering a human-size birdcage, which I'll put a brass telescope in. The ceiling of my living room is painted like the night sky."
