BREAKING: Taylor Swift Is “Obsessed” with The Kennedys

From Us Weekly:

For years, Taylor Swift has harbored a not-so-secret infatuation with her new boyfriend Conor Kennedy’s iconic family. “She’s obsessed with the family,” a pal tells Us Weekly. One insider adds that Conor’s cousin Ted Kennedy Jr. even calls the country crooner a “Kennedy groupie!”

The 22-year-old “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together” singer first grew enamored while watching the 2011 miniseries The Kennedys, then began collecting memorabilia for her Nashville and Beverly Hills pads and boning up on the clan’s history.

“I just read a 900-page book called The Kennedy Women,” she raved to Rolling Stone last summer. Months later, Rory Kennedy reached out to Swift for concert tickets, and Swift turned up at January’s Sundance Film Festival to catch a screening of Ethel, Rory’s HBO documentary about her mom (and Conor’s grandmother).

Her persistence paid off.

Rory invited Swift to visit the family’s compound for 4th of July weekend, where she met Conor, 18. “She’s a great friend of all of ours,” says Rory. “She’s awesome, and we love her.”

Sources close to Swift tell Us that she’s already fallen hard for Conor, despite their extremely brief courtship. “She’s head over heels,” one insider told Us recently of the country cutie. “[Conor’s] a smart, sensitive guy.”

“She says it’s a fantasy come true,” the source adds. “[Taylor] is very smitten.”

Really, this isn’t anything that we didn’t already know, but isn’t it just so creepy to hear all the details? Here, I’ll condense it even further for you: Taylor watched the miniseries about the Kennedys, collects Kennedy memorabilia, and reads books about the Kennedys. Wouldn’t that creep you out? I mean, if you were Conor, or any close member of the family. I might have said this before (I’ve definitely thought it before), but if Taylor was a dude, she would be getting so much flack for this. And she really should.

And just think, poor Conor is barely 18 years old, and he’s still in high school. His mother killed herself in May. He must be going through a lot, and then creepy ol’ Taylor Swift swoops in because she has some weird fetish for his family and lets him touch her boob and now he’s so in love. And that’s shady.

But here, I’ll leave it up to you guys …

  • “For years” she’s been obsessed with the Kennedys. She “first grew enamored while watching the 2011” show. Yeah, ’tis been bloody ages. What a stalker. Beware of the blonde psycho, dear hormonal, horny 18-year-old. I mean, you wouldn’t want to break the righteous and upstanding reputation your family has. Bunch of amazing citizens, truthful, faithful and charitable.

  • Relax, one and all. Country Cuties are O.K. for a blue-blood boy to mess around with. She can come to the picnics, but she’ll never been on the Christmas cards!
