The Castle Behind "Blank Space" Is Going to the Gavel

The castle that served as the backdrop for Taylor Swift's "Blank Space" is going up for auction. It's a rare case of a house that millions of people already know by sight, though few could name it, being offered to bidders. No starting bid or final price is on the record yet, and this desk doesn't guess at either. It's worth following because an auction will put a public number on a residence that most viewers know only as a set. The same week brought several other notable properties to market, including homes tied to Julia Child, Jackson Pollock, Diane Keaton, Meghan Markle and King George III.
