It\u2019s no secret that Taylor Swift has a deep admiration for the Kennedy family. She\u2019s even dated someone in the famous American dynasty, but how did they really feel about the world\u2019s biggest popstar being associated with their family?<\/p>\n
In 2012, Taylor Swift started dating Conor Kennedy, the grandson of Robert F. Kennedy and son of RFK Jr., when she was 22, and he was 18. She has met quite a chunk of the Kennedy family,<\/a> sans people who were directly in John F. Kennedy\u2019s lineage.<\/p>\n More from StyleCaster<\/p>\n During her relationship with Connor, she met his grandmother, Ethel Kennedy, and wrote a song about her marriage with RFK. \u201cIt was such a fun moment when she was just in love with the song,\u201d the Lover artist said when she showed her the song. Ethel said that year that Swift \u201cis just sensational, inside and out.\u201d She added, \u201cShe\u2019s very kind and\u2026 do you know what she really is? She\u2019s game. She had never sailed before. She sailed. She had never gone dragging before, she dragged. She played everything that everyone else was doing and she was good at it. And [with] no fuss.\u201d<\/p>\n Related: Taylor Swift\u2019s Ex-Boyfriends Are Incomparable to Her Fiance Travis Kelce\u2014Take a Look at Her Long List of Ex-Lovers<\/a><\/p>\n However, with young love, there ought to be some hiccups with the family. Conor and Taylor turned up to his cousin Kyle Kennedy\u2019s wedding at the very last minute. Kyle\u2019s mother, Vicki Kennedy, said that Conor had called her a couple of hours before the wedding, asking to attend, and she replied, \u201cPlease don\u2019t,\u201d concerned that the pop princess would upstage the bride. However, they appeared anyway.<\/p>\n \u201cI think that story was based on the biggest misunderstanding, \u2019cause I would never knowingly show up somewhere that I thought I wasn\u2019t invited to,\u201d Swift told Rolling Stone<\/a>. \u201cAnd I would never want to upstage anybody.\u201d<\/p>\n Swift also bought a house right across the street from the Kennedys\u2019 legendary Hyannis Port, Mass. home while she was dating Conor. The house, which was heavily featured in the Hulu show Love Story, served as a compound for the political family. Apparently, they were all great neighbors, too!<\/p>\n \u201cShe\u2019s wonderful, we\u2019re all so happy that she\u2019s our neighbor in Hyannis Port. She came up several weekends this summer and she was a complete participant in every single thing with our large and active family,\u201d Kerry Kennedy, the daughter of RFK, told People<\/a> in 2012. \u201cIf somebody said, \u2018Lets go sailing,\u2019 she jumped on the boat.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019re jumping off the boat to swim to the break walls, holding everybody\u2019s hands and jumping, singing, dancing, laughing, drawing pictures with everybody from the 2-year-old to my mother,\u201d she continued. \u201c[Taylor] is a light. And she\u2019s a star in our family because she is a lovely, sweet, fabulous human being.\u201d<\/p>\n Why did Taylor Swift & Conor Kennedy break up?<\/p>\n The two broke up due to scheduling. \u201cThey quietly parted ways a while ago,\u201d a friend told U<\/a>s Weekly. \u201cIt was just a distance thing. No hard feelings. They\u2019re fine.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s been over a month since they\u2019ve even seen each other,\u201d the friend adds. \u201cWith her promotion for\u00a0Red, she has no time off until the end of the year.\u201d<\/p>\n She reflected on the relationship in an interview with Katie Couric. \u201cI don\u2019t know how to have a normal relationship<\/a> because I try to act normal, love from a normal place, and live a normal life, but there is sort of an abnormal magnifying glass, like telescope lens, on everything that happens between me and anybody else\u2026I don\u2019t really know that much about love, it turns out.\u201d<\/p>\n Fast forward to 2025, JFK Jr\u2019s nephew and JFK\u2019s grandson, Jack Schlossberg, was asked if he was jealous of his second cousin dating Taylor Swift. He told the New York Times<\/a>, \u201cDeny.\u201d<\/p>\n Best of StyleCaster<\/p>\n Sign up for Stylecaster’s Newsletter<\/a>.
