Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s neighbors had some choice words about the newlyweds’ landscaping plans for their mansion near Lake Erie in Ohio.
When the celebrity couple presented their plans at a public review committee meeting this week, resident Lucy Weller said the landscaping wouldn’t help local wildlife in the village of Bratenahl.
“They don’t need lawns; they need food and cover and they need places to have sex,” Ms. Weller said, according to Page Six.

Chuck Bauernschmidt said he felt “bad for the village” and called the Swift-Kelce property “a forest.”
One of the 35 people who attended the meeting said the debate about landscaping plans was “stupid” because the home would be “sold in seven to 10 years when the divorce happens,” drawing boos.
But villager Vasiliki Diamantis said residents should “feel privileged” the couple chose the location, which drew applause.
The couple didn’t attend the meeting in person. They sent their property manager, architect and project manager as their representatives.
The plans for their $5.35 million, eight-bedroom home include 10-foot shrubs and updated brickwork. They follow a 6-foot privacy fence approved in September, after neighbors raised concerns ranging from local deer to a century-old sewer line.
The review committee approved the plans.
It has been reported that the couple doesn’t plan to use the home as their main residence. Ms. Swift also owns properties in Rhode Island, Beverly Hills, Nashville and New York City.
