'12
Within a month into Taylor Swift’s romance with 18-year-old Conor Kennedy, there were widespread reports that Swifty was contemplating a major real estate purchase close to the Kennedy compound in Hyannis Port. Various sources and sites claimed that Swifty was closing in a property that was practically across the street from the Kennedy compound, and that Swifty was doing it all for love. Then, a few months later, there was a weird back-tracking in the press, with oddly-worded denials claiming that Swifty was not purchasing any property. I assumed that maybe she didn’t get the price she wanted, or maybe she was just having a rare moment of maturity. Turns out, not so much. Ethel Kennedy (Conor’s grandmother, widow of RFK) spoke to WENN yesterday, and Ethel let it slip that Swifty was really and truly buying a neighboring property. And then some:
Kennedy family matriarch ETHEL KENNEDY has confirmed her grandson Conor’s girlfriend TAYLOR SWIFT is moving into the family’s Hyannis Port neighbourhood in Cape Cod, Massachusetts. The country star fell in love with the area while vacationing with her new beau this summer (2012) and recent reports suggested she plans on moving there after purchasing a new home near the Kennedy family compound.
Reports suggested she purchased a beach mansion located opposite Ethel’s home in August (12) – and now the Kennedy clan favourite has confirmed she’s thrilled to have Swift as a neighbour.
She tells WENN, “I’m happy that we’ll be neighbours. I’m thrilled.”
Sources suggest Swift hopes to spend more time around the Kennedys over Thanksgiving in November (12) – and Ethel admits the Love Story singer is always welcome, because she’s a big hit among Conor’s relatives.
She adds, “She is just spectacular; she is just sensational… She’s very kind. You know what she really is? She’s game. She had never sailed before, she sailed; she had never gone dragging before, she dragged… She played everything that everyone else was doing (with) no fuss.”
And she’s not surprised her grandson has fallen in love with Swift, adding, “How could you not? I think the world has.”

Oh, Ethel. She’s been buttered up by professional brown-noser Swifty, who apparently has never met a grandmother she couldn’t charm. It must be the ponytails and the red lips and the polka dots and the antiquing. Swifty is straight out of the 1950s. I would definitely be more interested in knowing the true feelings of Maria Shriver and some of the more astute Kennedy women, the women who protect the Kennedy nest like hawks. I’m sure Swifty is “game”. Game for being a Kennedy bride. Ugh.

Dear Dorothy,
Love your reply. Thanks for the “trip to Oz”. I love fantasy. LOL

Isn’t that what LeAnn did to Eddie Cibrian when she was gung-ho stalking/wooing (in her mind) him?

My thoughts exactly! These “child” singers really seem so immature mentally and emotionally even though they are in their 20′s–LR just 30! They seem so desperate for “love”! At least Connor is single and available–unlike Eddie!

Yes, but he’s a boy in high school.
Still an ‘ew’ factor there — just not the same kind.
I truly think she’s nuts.

Stupid question from an unsophisticated rube living in Swifty’s home state of Tennessee: What is “dragging”?

Im wondering too.

I can only think of it in fishing terms. I doubt it’s a fishing thing (like dragnet fishing) though.

There’s a post down thread by Belle Epoch that makes way more sense than my reply

“Dragging” for clams.

Now I’m really curious to see what Conor looks like. I’ve never seen a close-up of his face before.

Is that Conor in the red shorts? Gawd, he’s a little boy. I mean, he’s perfectly appropriate for his age. Some people are old souls, you know, and maybe more appropriate to date someone older. I don’t get that vibe from this kid.

Remember Lindsay Lohan buying a house next to Samantha Ronson? Ok, it’s not so creepy since they’re still dating, but it’s still weird.
Report this comment as spam or abuse
Lindsay rented a house next to Ronson AFTER they had broken up. Next to as in “I can see into your terrace from my terrace”. Very weird.

Yeah, I should have been clearer. I meant that the Swift-Kennedy situation is less creepy since they are still together.

Stalk much Swifty?
Report this comment as spam or abuse
That’s pretty drastic for someone who has been dating their significant other for a short period of time. What if she breaks up with him? Wouldn’t it be super awkward if she went to that house and had to see her ex’s mansion? I mean she could always sell it but that would be a waste…

Some people throw a rope behind their sailboats and drag you along in the water. That seems like a Kennedy type thing to do.
Report this comment as spam or abuse
AH! My boyfriends family does that, and ties tubes to their boats too. I’ve just never heard it be called dragging before. Makes sense.

I had read somewhere, I can’t recall where, that she was buying the house as a favor to the Kennedy’s because the owner was not willing to sell it to the Kennedy’s…they’ve been trying to purchase it for years, but there’s bad blood. So I wouldn’t be surprised if Swift turns around and sells it to the Kennedy’s…at least eventually.

This is what I am thinking too. It makes sense.

Naaaaah. Swifty is moving her teddy bear collection and everything in as we speak. I think the house is for her, not anyone else. Still, I hear Cape Cod IS lovely. I’d like to have a house there regardless.

Good ones birdix and aimes – she is living in her own little delusional world – thing is she is so manufactured and contrived that when her piece of crappy fluff drops next week, she’ll present her sparkly fairy dust persona to her tweener fans and her creepy entitled narcissistic behavior will be forgotten – Taylor Swift Inc. has the game plan down pat I’ll give her that since anyone with any taste can’t have any use for her music.

Well, now when they break up she’ll be able to write a song about him AND trying to sell a house in a buyer’s market!
The whole thing just seems creepy.

As long as she doesn’t physically hurt anyone, it should be quite a show.
If she keeps up at this rate, what will she be like in 15 years?

Snark snark snark. Snicker snicker snicker.
YAWN.
i still like my swifty, and i like her even more and feel the need to voice it now that the media has decided to turn against her.
The mass reaction really reminds me of the eulogy scene in Julius Cesar.

Ethal likes her. That’s a very big seal of approval. I love the was she dresses. I hope she has lots of fun in her new diggs. Lucky her.

I’ve always given Ethel a pass and admire her…but she doesn’t need to encourage this nonsense. Just let it burn itself out.
