Taylor Swift ain't swimmin' in tears post-Calvin Harris ... she's doing the crawl in a $40k a month party pad with a spectacular indoor pool.

Taylor's Tribeca apartment is under renovation, so she's taking shelter in a 5 bedroom, 6 bath West Village rental.

The place is huge ... 4 floors, with a basement, a 2-story patio and a private garage so Taylor can slip in and out.

The home belongs to David Aldea, a bigwig at the Soho House. We're told Taylor plans on staying there for about a year ... so there goes an easy half a mil. Not that she's counting.

MMR News: Hillary vs Sanders

Clinton clinches Democratic nomination – Sanders vows to fight on

Hillary Clinton clinched the Democratic presidential nomination Tuesday night, becoming the first woman in American history to top the ticket of a major political party and putting immediate pressure on primary rival Bernie Sanders to step aside – though the Vermont senator vowed to keep fighting for “every delegate.”

Fox News projected Tuesday that Clinton now has enough pledged delegates to capture the nomination without the need to count super delegates.

As Clinton now launches a general election battle against presumptive rival Donald Trump, Sanders remained defiant at an early Wednesday morning rally in Los Angeles. Far from bowing out, he vowed to campaign through the final primary next Tuesday in Washington, D.C., and then “take our fight for social, economic, racial and environmental justice to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania,” the site of the convention.

The crowd erupted in cheers as Sanders announced he’d keep going, a decision he kept close to the vest right up until his remarks.

MMR on Ent News: A legend dies

Muhammad Ali: Boxing legend, activist and 'The Greatest' to a world of fans

For a man who preached inclusiveness and reached millions around the world, it's a fitting way to let his fans say goodbye.

And one of the venues will be the site of Ali's last hometown fight in Louisville, Kentucky.

The jenazah will take place at noon Thursday at Freedom Hall -- where Ali defeated Willi Besmanoff on November 29, 1961.

A total of 14,000 tickets will be available on a first come, first service basis, starting at 10 a.m. on Tuesday, Gunnell said. Four tickets maximum per request will be available from the Freedom Hall box office.
