Since rising to fame, she has often spoken about her pride in hailing from Texas. She ha said she visits her old home "every chance" she gets.

The potential buyer will enjoy abundant luxuries, as the 25-year-old singer's house boasts a swimming pool, private cinema, expansive putting green and enough garage space to park eight cars.
