Taylor Swift’s partisans are bracing for trouble in Camelot.
Why?
The 22-year-old country singer, who spins personal heartbreak into songwriting magic, has been photographed with Conor Kennedy, the 18-year-old grandson of the late Sen. Robert Kennedy and his wife Ethel, according to published reports.
Last week, the pair were spotted eating pizza in Mount Kisco. During the weekend they were strolling and embracing in Hyannis Port, Mass., site of the Kennedy compound, according to photos in the New York Post.
As news of the pairing hit the Web, "Swifties" hit the send key.
"If you hurt her, Swifties wouldn’t stay calm," warned one Twitter post. Another said: "Dear Conor Kennedy, take care of Taylor’s heart, she’s our world, don’t break our universe. Sincerely, swifties."
Forbes estimated that the Grammy-winning songbird earned $57 million in the 12 months ending in May.
Still, Swift has nursed some heartbreak along the road to stardom. Among the former flames of the Cover Girl model: singer John Mayer ("Daughters") and actors Taylor Lautner ("The Twilight Saga") and Jake Gyllenhaal ("Source Code").
Kennedy, a scion of the storied, yet tragic, political family, has experienced his own anguish. His parents, Robert Kennedy Jr. and Mary Richardson Kennedy, were locked in a bitter divorce and custody battle in the past year. On May 16, his mother hanged
herself at her Bedford home.
In early July, Conor was named administrator of his mother’s estate just days after turning 18. He has three younger siblings.
A spokesman for the Kennedy family had no immediate comment on the romance.
The pairing of the curly-haired Kennedy and Swift seemingly stemmed from the singer’s fascination with his 83-year-old grandmother, Ethel.
Swift, an acquaintance of Ethel Kennedy’s daughter, Rory Kennedy, asked her for an introduction to the matriarch. That led to Swift’s appearance at a showing of Rory’s documentary about her mother, "Ethel," at the Sundance Film Festival, The Boston Globe
reported.
One Kennedy led to another and soon Taylor and Conor were canoodling, witnesses reported.
Sweet summer fling? Fodder for a new song? Swifties and Kennedy watchers will just have to bide their time and hold their tweets.
