Did Taylor Swift take Conor Kennedy out of school to go antiquing (again)?

These are some photos of Taylor Swift last week in London – she was in town to do promotion for her album (Red), which included radio interviews, meet-and-greets with fans, an appearance an awards show, etc. She also had some downtime, and she and her mom went shopping on Portobello Road. There was a boy there – you can see him in these pics. The dark-haired kid. Who is that? The Sun says that’s Conor Kennedy. Like, Conor with a haircut, maybe? But I don’t think so. This dude does not look like Conor to me at all. But I did have a giggle over this story:

TAYLOR SWIFT definitely has her chequebook with her in London.

She splashed out £50,000 on antiques in a five minute spree in Notting Hill on Wednesday. She popped into antique dealer Alice’s on Portobello Road with her boyfriend CONOR KENNEDY.

A source said: “She wandered into Alice’s and dropped £30,000 then went up the road and spent another £20,000. She was only in there for about five minutes. About half of what she bought was for her, the other for Conor. She bought a drawing of a shark, some old medicine bottles and a pinball machine for him.”

No games room is complete without medicine bottles…

Some of you might say, “But Kaiser, aren’t you an a—hole for suggesting that Taylor Swift signed her high school boyfriend out of his fancy prep school so that he could travel internationally with her and they could go antiquing and then have sex in a fancy hotel?” To which I reply: SHE ALREADY DID THAT. Minus the international travel part. But she’s already done everything else.” Swifty is going to drive poor Conor away with her need to antique. Antiques are going to tear them apart!! Anyway, while Swifty might have spent this much in London, I don’t think Conor was with her. I think this dude is just some random guy, like her makeup guy or her bangs specialist.

    If you have to check your boyfriend out of school, he may not be ready to play house and have babies. Careful swifty, don’t make a fool of yourself.

  2. paranormalgirl says:

    Hey, if she’s in London, he could be her swan wrangler, for those wistful swan filled photo ops…

  3. SportsGal says:

    Another day, another picture of Swifty with her mouth wide open – just like a blow-up doll.

    • Saor says:

      Oh yeah, women should keep their damn mouths should as much as humanly possible, am i right? She’s totally advertising her willingness to give the beej day in and day out with that expression.

      • Emma says:

        Yes, clearly… as the only use for a woman’s mouth is to give a BJ.
        Perhaps she was talking, idiot!

      • Aagje says:

        @ Emma

        That sarcasm flew right over your head didn’t it? It’s just a joke. Get over it.

    • Luffy says:

      Sometimes lips fall open, without people even noticing. I know because it happens to me all the time.

  4. marie says:

    antiquing = every high school boys favorite past time..

    I don’t think that’s Conor though, doesn’t look like the same build-could be wrong though.

  5. EmmaStoneWannabe says:

    Yeah…that’s not Conor. lol

  6. RobN says:

    This couldn’t look less like Conor if they’d actually gone looking for somebody to not look like him.

  7. Reece says:

    He IS 18 right even though he’s still in high school?(December baby??) He can legally walk out whenever he wants. Maybe Mass is different?

    • TheOriginalKitten says:

      Not if it’s a closed campus, which most MA schools are. Although, it’s usually mandatory that it is a parent/guardian that does the “signing out”. Then again, this kid is a Kennedy, he can likely break all the rules he wants.

      • Reece says:

        Yeah your last sentence pretty much says it all. 😉
        I didn’t know that about MA schools. Learned something new.

    • the original bellaluna says:

      We had a closed campus (in Cali) unless you were a Jr or Sr on “work experience.” However, once I turned 18, I could sign myself out at will.

      HOWEVER (again), due to my unwillingness to be grounded, I asked Mom’s permission first.

      USUALLY. 😉

  8. Emma says:

    I’m usually the first to jump on the hate on Taylor train but I really don’t think there’s anything “wrong” with her and Conor’s relationship.

    I liked her interview at the Jonathan Ross Show though! Haha, he asked her if she thought she jumped into relationships too quickly and she looked really uncomfortable. I wish more interviewers weren’t afraid to ask those questions.

    • Emmaa says:

      Just noticed someone else (above on the BJ post) has the same name as moi. Therefore I shall now be known as Emmaa! (I know that no one cares but I don’t want anyone to think that I’m the person above because of obvious reasons…)

  9. aims says:

    Does anyone else feel like she always looks way to”old lady ” in her clothes? Does she ever just wear jeans and a tee shirt? I think the pearls are too much.

    • dorothy says:

      I think she’s shooting for the Jackie-O look.

    • TheOriginalKitten says:

      That was the first thing I thought when I saw these pics. I don’t remember her dressing so old-ladyish in the past but I guess I never paid much attention to her so….?

      I thought her new retro/rich old lady style was all about her trying to live out her Jackie O fantasy.

    • Lulu says:

      Totally! That whole outfit looks like it would smell of mothballs. And the pearls are over the top. Does she have any idea how silly she is/looks? Don’t answer that.

  10. Mary says:

    Well, doesn’t she look Hampton preppy.

    • I love the way she dresses – I love vintage dresses, Jackie O, Dita etc. Oh, and I think their red lips and nails are fierce!
      Love, Scarlett :o)

      • Dusty says:

        I think Scarlett London is Swifty!

      • It'sjustblanche says:

        I love her clothes too. She doesn’t dress for men, she dresses for other women, so it’s fun to see what she wears. Anyone can dress trashy like Kim K but Swifty looks put together all the time.

        Not a fan of her music, but she’s cute. I could care less about her dating a legal adult 4 years younger than her. Yes, it’s a little “off” but there are far worse things she could be doing and how “awful” would it be to be an 18-year old guy with a gorgeous, successful singer as a girlfriend?

  11. KellyinSeattle says:

    Trying to imitate Jackie O. never did anyone any good; it’s a struggle no one can really win…it seems like she dresses, yes, like an old woman. Conor better be careful, he might get detention. Yeah, oh wait, he’s a Kennedy, nevermind. Overall, she has worn me out. I can’t imagine how Conor will feel when he realizes, if he hasn’t, that she’s such an energy suckerette on him!! (suckerette is a new word I made up for people like Kim K., LeAnn, etc. ….they suck the life out of everyone.

  12. Nashville Girl says:

    I think this might be her brother.

  13. B says:

    I agree with others: she looks old-ladyish in the first photo, but that’s mainly because of the cardigan. It’s too large and ill-fitting-if it were fitted and cropped, she wouldn’t look so matronly. Also, the way she’s holding her purse doesn’t help, nor does the way she’s touching the guy’s shoulder (like a mother would).

  14. Pamspam says:

    “Bangs specialist.” Bahahaha!!

  15. daz says:

    Is ‘antiquing’ the euphemism we use now ?

  16. the original bellaluna says:

    If one of my kids’ “SO’s” signed them out of school, there would be HELL. TO. PAY.

    That is all.

  17. Chell says:

    She is such a giant nerd. Sorry, I just had to say it.

  18. skuddles says:

    This “relationship” is a sad joke.

  19. xoxokaligrl says:

    I think she looks cute.
    But the whole dating a kid thing is weird.

  20. chipmunk says:

    bangs specialist! lol!

  21. queen says:

    In the last photo, is she wearing heeled versions of those cat shoes??

  22. Jilly says:

    Am I the only one who noticed she is wearing yet ANOTHER pair of cat shoes in the last picture?
    I think that’s three by my count…

    • Emily says:

      I still haven’t managed to close my mouth after it dropped open. Cat heels now. Where the fuck is she getting them from? WHO MAKES CAT HEELS??

    • deehunny says:

      i gotta admit. When I first saw the cat shoe flats I thought they were cute with her blue outfit on that bike. A playful touch. But three different pairs, the last one HEELS, not the mention the fact that she is wearing them with a red carpet dress on the red carpet. ::Sigh:: She needs to grow up

  23. INeedANap says:

    Taylor Swift is a robot cooked up in the back room of the last Republican Senators meeting. That mus be it, because there’s no way this wannabe-fairy-princess with a closet full of cat shoes is a real person.
