Taylor Swift has a terrifying plan to elope with Conor Kennedy & have his babies

The last time we checked in on Taylor Swift’s relationship with Conor Kennedy, she was signing him out of his prep school (where he just began his junior year) so that they could spend the weekend in a quaint New England town, alternating between antiquing, boning and eating sundaes. We also heard about Swifty being “obsessed” with Conor, and how she constantly writes him love notes, etc. Throughout it all, there’s been some discussion of Swifty’s eventual goal. Does she just want a Kennedy boyfriend? Or is her goal more long-term? Like, does she want to marry this Kennedy teenager and have little Kennedy babies? Oh, God.

Taylor Swift is hatching a secret plan to elope to Las Vegas with her 18-year-old boy-toy Conor Kennedy – and as soon as she gets hitched, she intends to get pregnant, say sources. Swift is so impatient to make Kennedy her last name, she’s aiming to say “I do” before the year’s end, the sources add.

“Taylor has made up her mind that Conor is the man she was meant to marry,” an insider tells The Enquirer. “She doesn’t want to wait any longer. Taylor has told him he can put off college for now and become a full-time dad.”

Already, the smitten singer can’t bear being apart from Conor. Recently, Swift flew to Massachusetts to be with her soulmate as he was starting his junior year at Deerfield Academy. On September 15, they went antiquing… with an eye towards marriage.

“They were browsing for the kinds of things they’d like to put in their love nest,” said the source. “Taylor’s absolutely obsessed with the idea of becoming a ‘Kennedy Wife’. It can’t happen soon enough. She’s excitedly talking about tying the knot in Las Vegas before the end of the year.”

[From The Enquirer, print edition]

WTF? I mean, I guess I could throw some shade at this report, except that I can’t really see any reason why all of this is NOT true. Why wouldn’t Swifty try to angle Conor into a Vegas elopement? Why wouldn’t she try to build her life with a high school junior? Why wouldn’t she tell him that his college plans can wait so she can start popping out Kennedy babies? I’m tired of asking where RFK Jr. is in all of this – obviously, Robert has his own crap to deal with (God knows, but I don’t have much sympathy for him at this point). But where is Swifty’s mom in all of this? I remember hearing a lot of stuff about how overprotective and involved Swifty’s mom was with Taylor’s career and her life. What happened with that? Does Swifty have anyone in her life who will say, “Girl, you really shouldn’t marry this poor boy. Enough”?

Star Mag also has a piece about some of the Kennedy women trying to thwart Swifty’s elopement intentions. Allegedly, Caroline Kennedy, Victoria Kennedy and Maria Shriver are “on a mission” to make sure that Swifty doesn’t join the Kennedy clan. An insider says, “They see Conor as a child, and they hate that he’s dating someone so much older. They’re quite snobbish when it comes to Hollywood and are much more impressed by Ivy League types than famous people.”

    Step. Away. From. The. Liquid. Eyeliner.

    • Anon says:

      Taylor Swift is considered a great role model for young girls, but she has done one thing she wouldn’t want her fans to try.

      “I once used a Sharpie as eyeliner in an airplane bathroom because I didn’t have any with me,” the star tells Refinery29. “I don’t recommend it.”

      Though she’ll never try that technique again, she does stick with a signature makeup look. “I love red lips and a cat-eye,” she admits. “That’s been my go-to for a few years now.”

      As well as stalking and her passive-aggressive signature songwriting.

      from ‘People’.

      • Esmom says:

        A Sharpie. Wow. Most toddlers would know to only uses a washable marker on your face, lol. As people have said previously, methinks Swifty isn’t swift at all.

      • Brown says:

        hahahaha thank you SO much for that story.

        Liquid eyeliner can be a girl’s best friend, especially one with squinty eyes like Taylor (I know, I have the same squinty eye syndrome). But CLEARLY she cannot be trusted with liquid eyeliner. Girlfriend needs to put it down, slowly, and take some makeup tutorials or something.

        A Sharpie!? Why am I not even surprised?!

      • the original bellaluna says:

        Esmom – My toddler prefers the walls, doors, and my cabinets. And once, the couch!! 🙁

  2. SueD says:

    Doubt it…..but her suit is stunning!

  3. Amelia says:

    This is disturbingly believable. There’s something very creepy about this girl.
    Telling an 18 year old he can forget about college and get ready to be a daddy would send most boys packing. Either Swifty’s a freak in the sack or she’s dosing Connor’s sundaes with something.

    • ol cranky says:

      don’t think she wants an elopement, I think she wants the fairy tale wedding and I think she’ll get pregnant to pressure him to marry her (with her money she can quickly put together enough of a fairy tale wedding) and announce they’re over the moon being pregnant a couple of months later (to imply it’s a honeymoon baby)

      • angie says:

        He wouldn’t just be 18–he’d be an 18 year old high school drop out.Not the kind of resume you want if you intend to follow your family destiny of inflicting yourself on the electorate.

    • erika says:

      i hear on crazy days/blind gossip (?) that she does coke….wowo! really? i thought…but does that make sense? in a way yes, i think she has an inner ‘freak’ that competes with this image of Jacqueline -PreOnassis-w/ 122 babies…

      and wait, connor’s a JUNIOR in high school, at 18? isn’t he suppose to be aenior?

      ahhhh….he got held back.

      now those two make sense together

  4. marie says:

    she’s the human form of a praying mantis.. I can totally see her unhinging her jaw and biting his head off after she gets that baby..

  5. PHD in Gossip says:

    he strikes me as somewhat slow. he is on track to graduate high school at 20.
    Of course they will elope. The headlines are great for her album sales.

    • Mary says:

      Yeah, have we ever figured out why he is an 18 yr old junior?

      • L says:

        Apparently he was held back in early elementary school for health reasons.

      • rtms says:

        His mother’s problems and death took up his attention and he fell behind in his studies etc. It sucks for him that his family couldn’t be more supportive with regards to his mother. Still this is just creepy and yet I get it. He wants someone to take care of him,pay attention to him. This fits perfectly for him and her. They are both screwed in the head.

      • the original bellaluna says:

        Wow, that’s rough for him; held back at a young age AND fell behind due to his mother’s suicide! And now being in this spaz’s sights. POOR KID!!

        [I have one who repeated kindergarten (graduated a couple months before 19); one who skipped a grade (always the youngest kid in her class/grade); one (my step-son), whose lazy-ass mother put him in special ed because she wasn’t willing to work with him to get him up to grade-level; and Toddles.]

      • Tiny Dancer says:

        His mother died this past year, the end of his sophomore year. He is now a junior, so it did not affect his grade standing.

        He was expelled/suspended whatever you want to call it from his previous prep school, transferred to Deerfield and in the transfer had to repeat 9th grade.

        His health issues were mostly sorted out by the time he was 6. He is severely allergic but they had it under control/knew what to avoid and what precautions to take by the time he started school.

  6. Emily says:

    I think she’ll dump him (and write a song about him) when she’s done promoting her new album.

    As others have said, Swifty is shifty. 😛

  7. Beth says:

    I was barely 16 my junior year of high school. Is this kid some sort of under achiever?

    The whole thing is odd.

    • Dani says:

      Agreed! I turned 16 mid junior year.

    • zenb!tch says:

      When I was in school the rules were that a child had to be 5 years old when starting Kindergarten – when we entered our Junior Year everyone was 16 – the oldest turned 17 in October and the youngest turned had 16 by August 31st. I was 16 and 4 months old when I started my Junior Year and 17 and 1 months old when I ended it. The kids that were held back were one year older.

  8. brin says:

    Obsessed much?!

  9. Kate says:

    Umm, while I think Taylor has some serious clinger/maturity issues, this is bs. “They’re quite snobbish when it comes to Hollywood and are much more impressed by Ivy League types than famous people.” Because, you know, Arnold swept Maria off her feet with his multiple degrees from Harvard and Yale and Jack and Bobby couldn’t get enough of Marilyn’s views on how to stop the spread of communism. Please.

    • Rhea says:

      Good point. 😉

    • Dap says:

      ;-D))))

    • Elizabeth says:

      JFK Jr. dated Darryl Hannah (actress) but married Carolyn Besette (Ivy League girl with “safe” career). Marily Munroe was a mistress and nothing more to the Kennedy men. The Arnold married Maria after many, many years of dating and winning the Kennedys over. Also while Marie seems like a decent person (and clearly a patient one to have been married to AS), she was not so much a major league Kennedy (JFK Jr., Caroline), so she could marry who she wanted. And considering the options (Taylor Swift), I be looking at Ivy League girls pretty favorably now too.

      • Kate says:

        And Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. (Conor’s father) dumped Conor’s mother (who subsequently killed herself) for Cheryl Hines.

      • Trisha says:

        The gross thing is, in these old-monied circles, it matters more who the men marry than the women. It’s the sons who have the heirs, after all, not the daughters, since they carry on the family name. VOMIT.

      • Cindy says:

        Ms. Bessette did not go to an Ivy League college. She attended a very good private college in New York state. She had a job in the fashion industry. I suppose that can be high-pressure, but It’s not what one would call serious. However, she did have a good education and seemed as if she was on the way to being a model Kennedy wife, poor girl.

    • Bobbie says:

      Wow. That is a good point. I agree with Rhea.

  10. some bitch says:

    Run, Conor, RUN!!!

    For somebody with such a cutesy act and “wholesome” image, Shifty Swifty gets around a lot.

  11. Mary says:

    When I was a teenager, I used to think that the Kennedys were pretty much royalty. Now I cannot stand anything about them. They have more white trash drama than Honey Boo Boo’s family and they look down on hollywood types and only want to associate with Ivy Leaguers? That has got them really far. (Rolls eyes)

    • Mauibound says:

      The only thing that separates the Kennedys and honey boo boo is money and lots of it

    • zenb!tch says:

      Me too, being born Catholic I was taught they were all that but first my mom started to see what was really up and of course I followed. William Kennedy Smith happened when I was a teen and that was the last straw. Although, JFK Jr. didn’t do much for me. Conor reminds me of him. Cute kid but he seemed slow. I don’t know how a true Ivy Leaguer (like my friends who got in on grades) would ever put up with a Kennedy. I assume a legacy Ivy League woman would be just as slow?

      I do miss the er.. classic Kennedys OK Ted in the tabloids – the others all died before I was born. I held the Enquirer at half mast when he died.

      As much as I dislike the Bushes, they don’t seem as entitled and downright horrid as the Kennedys – at least on a personal level. Perhaps they are as bad but they are just more discreet and not telegenic enough for the tabloids to care. I’m not sure but as an adult woman, the Kennedy’s just horrify me. The royals are less horrid.

    • Jenn Bee says:

      It’s the indoctrination we all got. The Kennedy’s were the best of the best They were for the people, building a dynasty in which we would all succeed but they had no morals and were corrupt.

      Being a Kennedy must not be easy or nice.They may actually have a lot in common.Meh, let them be; everyone should have a summer fling in Cape Cod.

  12. dorothy says:

    Obviously the girl has some problems.

  13. BRE says:

    Does this boy have any male friends his own age? If so, I would think they would be the voice of reason here…well not really reason but I would think they should be able to talk him out of dating her.

    • Mary says:

      Really? I would assume the reverse. I think they are probably egging him on saying “Way to go bro–you’re bangin that singer chick.”

      • Esmom says:

        Me, too. Although I gotta believe they’d draw the line at MARRIAGE. Holy hell.

      • fabgrrl says:

        Some teen boys are surprisingly marriage-minded. Possibly they don’t want to let their girlfriend “get away”. All teens, male and female, are new to love and romance, and think that they will never feel that way again. Plus boys want to prove they are MEN – and a wife and baby “proves” that beyond a doubt.

    • Esmom says:

      @fabgrrl. You are right, passions can sure run high at that age. And try talking someone that age out of something once their minds are made up.

      I had friends who secretly got married when they were 19 to prove their commitment to each other, while letting their parents think they were still just dating. By 22 they were secretly filing for divorce. They ended up completely embarrassed by the gesture.

      • the original bellaluna says:

        GAH! My daughter’s getting married in spring (she’ll only be 19) and Hubs and I are worried but hopeful.

        All I know is I married her dad at 21, and left his cheating ass at 27.

    • zenb!tch says:

      Boys his own age are off at Harvard or Brown or Dartmouth or the Massachusetts State if they aren’t that bright. I doubt he has friends nearby.

      • Arock says:

        Those schools are a two to three hour drive from there (if that.) exter is only an hour from Boston. I think the reasons he was held back was because of family issues- what ever that means. He’s just a teenage guy probably flattered by the attention and noteriaty, with no concept of stage 5 clinger crazy he’s getting into.
        She’s a wackadoo.

  14. lin234 says:

    I don’t believe it. I don’t see her getting married without a pool full of swans or a pre-nup.

    • Elizabeth says:

      Re : the wedding with the swans idea. I’ve said it before and here it is again. Swifty wants the magical ponies, swans on the pond wedding. But she would run off to Vegas for an elopement rather than risk having the “marry-a-Kennedy” thing derailed. A big, big , BIG wedding can come later. She wants to close the deal NOW before anyone (cough, Caroline, Maria, cough) ruins her perfect plan for a perfect life. She will not be denied! 🙂

    • EmmaStoneWannabe says:

      I think the elopement stuff is bs…this girl is getting her big fat country wedding. It will probably be all Lively/Reynolds-esque…just show up on the Monday cover of people – married in a secret ceremony. She’s prob just thrown off they got the Notebook house before she thought of it. Anyway, you can bet this girl is not goin the Vegas route.

  15. Enny says:

    “They see Conor as a child, and they hate that he’s dating someone so much older. They’re quite snobbish when it comes to Hollywood and are much more impressed by Ivy League types than famous people.”

    OK, Maria. Because you met your husband the traditional “Kennedy Way”? Just because he was Governor (cough) of California, he was still just a Hollywood doofus on Muscle Beach for most of his life.

    • EmmaStoneWannabe says:

      Yep. The Governorship happened decades after they had been married…so yeah, he was def a “Hollywood type” when they dated and married.

      • Erinn says:

        Maybe that’s WHY Maria is against hollywood types now.

      • zenb!tch says:

        @Erinn Maria is against Hollywood types? I thought one of her BFFs was Oprah. She was also a TV personality so she’s always been kind of Hollywood herself. I never thought I would be defending Hollywood men or Arnold because they are trash but the problem with Maria is not Hollywood, it’s the Kennedys. She was trained from birth to put up with this BS but her Hollywood friends are not (unless it is for good publicity). Staying with Arnold is not good for her image but it is what she was raised to do. It must be hard to go against 50 years of brainwashing. If there were no baby she would still be smiling and pretending all the ass grabbing was just him being friendly.

        BTW: I am not saying it’s a Catholic thing either – strictly a Kennedy thing. Kennedy women are stoic and they just accept things. Kennedy men are free to frolic. After all, they break laws what is a measly vow?

      • the original bellaluna says:

        Maria was a political journalist (for NBC, I believe), not “just” a TV personality. One who had to give up her career when Ahnold ran for office, because she was told it would be a conflict of interest for her to keep her position.

        And the only other time I’ve seen Maria’s business plastered all over the EVERYWHERE (unlike Swifty) was when her stupid-ass pig of a husband boffed the maid and sired a kid with her.

    • palermo says:

      I don’t agree. Arnold was always pretty savvy, they say he bought up loads and loads of property when he first came to CA, made a fortune before he got into making movies etc. He’s not dumb.

      • Hannah says:

        The saying goes, “when in doubt, go to stout” in Wisconsin, where Arnold Schwarzenegger went. It is one of the less respected colleges there. Just a fun fact

  16. L says:

    No way. This would destroy her career and Shifty is super protective of that.

    What I’m hating is friends who are Swift fans who are insisting that because this kid is a Kennedy that he’s ‘much more mature than your average high schooler. He’s seen so much more than you or I. But if they break up Kennedy curse!’
    Um…No. He’s still a high school kid. And I might not be a Kennedy family fan, but insisting a high school junior has some evil family gene out to ruin Swift is absurd. She pursued him. She (no matter what cutesy virginal routine she tries to sell) is a grown woman, a grown adult dating a teenager. It’s gross.

    • Esmom says:

      If anything I’d say the Kennedy men are the opposite of mature. With exceptions of course, like JFK Jr., they strike me as a bunch of emotionally stunted frat boy types.

      • L says:

        Plenty of people share this ‘oh the kennedy men’ idea. Kennedy men only cheat. Kennedy men do X. The family curse blah blah blah.

        Which means that when it goes bad (which it will) and even though it will be because swifty is dating a high schooler-he will get all the blame because he’s a Kennedy. The kid didn’t get to choose his parents or his family, but gets to inherit all their baggage.

      • zenb!tch says:

        @L yes and no. The Kennedy men are all you said. However, in this day and age we all know this so the fault lies with anyone who willingly joins the Kennedy family. They are what they are. They have no reason to change.

        God Bless Cheryl Hines. It will be painful for her when it ends and she will deserve every minute of it.

      • L says:

        @zen
        I think you missed my point. I don’t think that just because someones last name is X that there is some gene that means they are cheaters. Putting baggage on a bunch of teenagers and kids is just absurd to me (oh you’re a kennedy? Well you’re clearly going to cheat on your wife-that’s how you are)

        I’m not even a fan of that family, and crap like that pisses me off.

  17. lower-case deb says:

    age-wise, she’s just barely scraped through the xkcd’s Standard Creepiness Rule (http://xkcd.com/314/)

    although, if said 18 y-o is a university student, it’ll be okay, i guess?

    as a rule of thumb: don’t date people who still needs someone else to sign them out of school~! jeezlouise!

    then again, not as creepy as the Zhang Muyi-Akama Miki though.

  18. Eve says:

    Hey, remember when we used to think Taylor Swift was a sweet, humble girl and not, like, creepy at all?

    • Amelia says:

      When was that, around 2008/09? I remember seeing Love Story advertised on TV and reaching for a bucket, wanting to push the damn girl in the mud.

      • Eve says:

        I don’t know…I remember that I stopped thinking she was sweet/harmless when she started writing songs about every single one of the guys who dumped her.

    • Carolyn says:

      Taylor hooking up with John Mayer led me to think of her in a different light.

      • Lauren says:

        I agree.. will never forget that Taylor hooked up with John Mayer, and wrote a sad song about it. She projects this wholesome image, which is laughable to me. Swifty is strangely obsessed with becoming a Kennedy, it is all about prestige & power. Meanwhile all the Kennedy wives are miserable, suicidal, or worse. This is not going to end well.

    • Gracie says:

      After the whole Kanye fiasco I was done with her and how she acted like a victim of a heinous crime or some bs…that, and the way she put Joe Jonas on blast (I still like the JB) led me to believe this heffa was not “America’s Sweetheart”. I’m just glad people are waking up to see thru her facade.

  19. PHD in Gossip says:

    The only hope is that Taylor gets such bad press over this romance that she quits. Image über alles.

  20. Anna says:

    She has Crazy Eyes.

  21. Dee Cee says:

    Sadly I don’t think the Kennedy Clan cares much about Conner’s fate since his mother Dramatically Died and dad has moved on with another woman..

    • DEB says:

      His dad is a self-absorbed asshole, also dating a celebrity, a typical Kennedy, only concerned with getting laid. Conor is also a Kennedy, and it’s in his genes to boff everything in a skirt. Good luck with that, Taylor, lol.

      • zenb!tch says:

        It won’t matter. She will last long enough to get pregnant and married. When she is divorced she will still be Taylor Kennedy mother of RFK’s great or great-great grandchild.

    • zenb!tch says:

      The dad is a prime grade asshole but I don’t think Ethel gave a F*CK about him or any of his 10 siblings. How many have died due to drugs? How many have had major scandals? Ethel was too busy playing the widow Kennedy to pay attention to her kids. She also has murderer on her side of the family as opposed to just manslaughterer like the Kennedys.

  22. SleepyJane says:

    This girl is bat-droppings crazy. This is some twilight zone stuff. Seriously, he is a “high school dude”. Where is his family to guide him? The Kennedy’s are a tragic mess.

  23. fran says:

    she needs to stay away from them for her own safety that family is cursed!! (KARMA) seriously that family should stop breeding they are nothing but bad news.

  24. Micki says:

    The girl is a grown-up stalker.
    I’ll be mightily pissed if any of my sons quit the college to be full time dad.

  25. Suz says:

    This whole story is nasty, from every angle. Who would want to be a Kennedy these days – one of the above comments was correct, they are more white trash than Honey Boo Boo. And I hate slinging that term around but there is nothing else to describe them.

    And Taylor, creepy creepy, creepy. Her makeup creeps me out at this point.

  26. whybenice says:

    Let’s see, what rhymes with “Kennedy?”

    • MerryHappy says:

      Anything that ends with ‘me.’
      Something along the lines of:
      Oh, Connor Kennedy,
      Look what you did to me,
      I was in love with you,
      But you had no sympathy.

      Its quite easy, actually! Haha

  27. Stormy says:

    Lol,this isn’t that scandalous.I agree,the high school thing is strange.but she is obviously immature.When my little brother was 18 he started dating a women in her mid thirties.Now THAT is something to clutch pearls over.This is only slightly odd.She is rich and famous.He is probably just as obsessed.

  28. LadyBird83 says:

    All of this says a lot about where Taylor is mentally in her life. She is a 22 year old WOMAN dating a barely 18 year old high school boy. I am not judging the fact that she is dating someone younger, my husband is 3 years younger than me, I am judging the fact that her boyfriend is in HIGH SCHOOL! Which is both funny and sad. I think that because Taylor was a teen star she missed out on her normal teenage years. She writes like a teenager, dates like a teenager, breaks up like a teenager and most of her fans are, yep you guessed it, teenagers. The Kennedy’s are America’s royal family or at least they use to be. Taylor wants to be a pretty-pretty princess Kennedy.

    • zenb!tch says:

      My issue isn’t that he is 18, when I was 18 I dated 21 year old men. 21, 22 what’s the difference. I was a college freshman. My problem is that he is a HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT and not because he was born in September and got screwed. That makes him less than 18 in my eyes.

  29. EmmaStoneWannabe says:

    Lol @ everyone freaking out. I agree it is weird/creepy…buttt I am still a Swift fan. Call me crazy, but I’m still going to give her new record a shot. And I know I am not the only one on CB who will 😉

    • Gracie says:

      Nah, I think you’re the only one who will. Although, as much as I dislike her, her perfume is quite nice. It’s the same way I feel about gaga, I find them insufferable and phony and not talented, but dammit, their perfume smells awesome. *I’m a perfume addict*

      • Isa says:

        I don’t buy CDs but I like her music. It’s light and fluffy and its catchy.
        But I hate Taylor’s perfumes (both of them) and gagas.
        My coworker uses the latest, enchanted or something and I can’t stand it.

  30. Hakura says:

    You just gotta love those pink, white polka-dotted boxer shorts the ‘little man’ is sportin’ in that last picture. xD I’ll go out on a limb & assume those aren’t his swim trunks.

  31. Kali says:

    This girl is a stalker. If anyone in Conor’s family tries to keep her from him, I can see her easily asking hom to drop out of school to travel the world with her. Let’s hope he makes the right choice. I think she’d absolutely give up her career for a Kennedy and his kids. She’d be set until he grew up and got sick of her-just like all the other Kennedy men.

    • Hakura says:

      I know *I’d* have a hard time turning down the chance to travel the world. Not that he should drop out of school.

  32. Daisy says:

    I think it’s kind of weird that she’s dating him, but saying it is creepy is a bit dramatic. Also, this entire article is BS. Y’all really think Taylor Swift would have a Vegas wedding? Seriously? Cut the girl a little slack.

  33. Eleonor says:

    This girl is creepy, and Kennedy stalker, ok, BUT I’d like to know why people bash her, instead the young actor (sorry I don’t remember the name) who is 22,and who has started the relationship with his 45 years old wife when he was 18, is considered cute.

    • Zoid says:

      +1!!
      and he has kids now. But if anyone points out the age difference it’s all ‘a man could do it so why can’t she? Woman power!’
      I think the problem is that this boy is still in HS. I don’t find it that weird, honestly, because it’s really not that much of an age difference. 3 years? Meh. I don’t see how his mental age/image would be different if me was a HS graduate in his first year of college.

      I assure you that I find that a bit creepy also! +, he wasn’t in high school. -, she was in a position of authority over him.

    • Esmom says:

      The young actor you’re talking about is Aaron Johnson and he’s been discussed here quite a bit. The consensus seems to be that he’s an “old soul” so it’s not that weird. I’m not so sure. Like Swifty and Conor, I get the feeling that their relationship will also not end well.

    • jamie says:

      Excellent point.

    • zenb!tch says:

      I bash that. I think it’s gross. I could never date someone that young. However, I think Taylor started up with Conor when he was 17 and I don’t think he is as “mature” as your average college freshman because he is still in HS.

      Was the 18 year old with the 45 year old out of HS when they hooked up?

      • Isa says:

        Oh it has been discussed and the woman gets bashed a lot. I am one of the few that defends them, just like I have Taylor and this boy.
        But I’m really hoping these reports aren’t true.

    Laughing at the thought of Maria Shriver (married to Arnold Schwarzenager, remember) throwing shade at Taylor Swift for being a “famous hollywood type” rather than a blue blood ivy league person. Oh, cruel irony, how you mock those who don’t see you for what you are…

  35. Esmom says:

    I agree that Swifty is obsessed and creepy but I don’t buy the marriage plan story. I think even she draws the line at buying a house across the street after a couple weeks of dating.

  36. RobN says:

    I realize that we’re all over Taylor here, as the creepy older woman, but the kid is a Kennedy which comes with its own sketchiness. They lie and they cheat, and I can’t see this one being any different than all the others. They all watch their fathers mistreat their mothers and they all seem to turn around and do the exact same thing to theirs. I tend to think that it’ll be Taylor who ends up getting hurt in this mess.

    • zenb!tch says:

      She will and so will the much older Cheryl Hines. That is part of what people are saying – although we tend to go on and on and on with our Kennedy bashing and forget about Taylor.

      The difference is that when Joan Kennedy married Ted she did not know what she was getting into and if perchance she did, she had no way of getting out. Her role in life was set, it was to marry a rich man. Same with all the others from what I have read the one that was different was RFK – not that he wasn’t like the other Kennedy men but that Ethel was chosen for him vs. her being his idea.

      Fifty or Sixty years later we all know what the Kennedys are like. Any woman (or man) who willingly joins that family does so at their own peril and has no one else to blame.

      Question: what happens to men who marry Kennedy women? Men who are not Arnold. Do they all turn into Kennedy men and lie, cheat and steal or do they get thrown under the bus like the women for committing the sin of not being born a Kennedy?

  37. menlisa says:

    I think she is going to convince him to switch to homeschooling soon.. He is 18, he doesn’t need his parents permission to do so..

  38. FreeSpiritedGirl says:

    Oh God! She has become creepy now. If she went on like this, obsessing over Conor, he will surely dump her soon. Taylor Swift now reminds me of Overly Attached Girlfriend – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yh0AhrY9GjA

  39. TheOneAndOnlyOnly says:

    She is not a role model for young girls or anyone;as others have pointed out, the money and fame she has achieved has completely stunted her emotionally, intellectually, and certainly “musically”; she’s lived in a fantasy world and I wonder about her connection to reality, and because everyone around her is on the gravy train, no one is going to tell her no to her face; this narcissism and the generic blandness of her music will hopefully do her in – how can a corporate packaged product be a “role model” for anyone?

  40. Chrissy says:

    If he was 18 and in college, it wouldn’t seem so bizarre, but he’s a high school junior? She’s 22. Eww. Why would a 22 yr old woman want to date a high school student? Oh, right, because he’s a Kennedy. She’s so obvious and shallow. Most parents don’t want a 22 yr old boy dating their daughter who’s a junior in high school, even without the aspect of her using him for fame and (she probably hopes in the future) money, so why shouldn’t his family feel the same way about her?

    • zenb!tch says:

      Because they are Kennedys and don’t care about him. His grandmother was a bitch to Jackie and Joan. She spends all her time playing the widow Kennedy. She didn’t bother to raise her kids. Someone here said she went to school with his ahole dad and he was as ignored when he was a child as Conor is now. He has no clue how to care about a child and the cycle continues.

  41. LeslieM says:

    My son is about the same age and in high school. I would never let him date a 22 year old woman. I think someone above hit it on the head. She didn’t have a normal teenage life and is living it through him. I don’t know why his father doesn’t forbid it. Eighteen year olds need parenting. In fact 22 year olds still need parental advice as well. What must her parents be thinking. Also, no one could check my children out of school but me. I don’t believe that really happened.

  42. NovemberBaby says:

    Eh. I don’t really see the big deal about their age difference.

    And most of the stuff in this story I don’t believe.

  43. elns says:

    But WTF. He’s not even a high school senior?

    Eww … she’s going to the jr. prom.

  44. elns says:

    I don’t see truth in this elopement stuff.

    But WTF. He’s not even a high school senior?

    Eww … she’s going to the jr. prom.

  45. Elizabeth Kelly says:

    The media is getting dumber and dumber. I can literally imagine Taylor laughing aloud if she read this article. Did anyone happen to notice that she has a NEW ALBUM release on October 22nd, and that marketing and promotion for said album is never second priority?

    Quit the Kennedy gossip. SO what if she’s in love. She’s not about to have babies. She’s going to have another world tour and promote the sh-t out of this album. She’s on top of the world. Did anyone ever entertain the idea that she’s happy, in love, and, *gasp* also a career woman? If she wanted to settle and have babies, she would’ve done it a long time ago. I’m certain she is in no rush for a family. She is 22 for christsake. In some ways, the age difference is a little odd. Definitely not normal. But then again, the last time I checked, there is nothing normal about the Swifts or the Kennedys. But all in all, this article is such a joke.

  46. Fudge you, I'm going to Guam! says:

    I don’t see the big deal about their age difference, he’s 18, she’s 22….oooh what a puma! *sarcasm*
    Robert Pattinson was 22 when he started dating 17 year old Kristen Stewart, no one said a word about that as always when it comes to older male-younger female relationships.
    It’s the double standard I can’t stand.

  47. zenb!tch says:

    What’t with her hair? It looks like a wig

    • Fudge you, I'm going to Guam! says:

      I’ve been thinking that for a loooong time, ever since she started with that weird big bang-straight hair look.
      It looks like a dry ashy (powdered?) wig and it looks bad.
      She has naturally very curly hair (google it). Her curls are quite tight and frizzy, I was thinking it must be a wig because straightening her hair must be hell.

      She should go back to her natural curls, it suits her more and actually makes her look kind of pretty.

  48. Hakura says:

    I suspect part of the appeal for Taylor is that she appears to be the dominant in this relationship, very unlike the dynamics in her previous (publicly known) relationships.

    Being older & more established in life with a career & her own money, I believe she’s operating under the delusion that getting ‘hold’ of this guy now as a teenager means that she can keep maintain control of the relationship indefinitely (or at least for a while).

  49. pink giraffe says:

    The Kennedys are trash, the Kennedy gals mentioned are star-struck by Hollywood too, all of these people lead lives much stranger (I hope) and more derelict (that’s absolutely true) lives than we do, yeah, Taylor’s younger Kennedy obsession is weird and I don’t like it, but not because I either like or care a boy about Conor Kennedy or because I think the Kennedys are better than Taylor, just because she’s gotten so weird with all her relationship drama, yet trying to maintain this innocent-victim image. Conor will be a douche, if he isn’t already, just like every other disgusting Kennedy out there. The Kennedys are like a family of Dorian Greys. They have a nice exterior, but inside they are twisted, ugly souls.

  50. the original bellaluna says:

    Where is RFK Jr? Off boffing the actress girlfriend he cheated on and left his wife for! And she killed herself when he filed for divorce, because she had problems and wanted her marriage to work.

    Frankly, I think his influence is unwelcome and unhealthy for this poor kid, and I hope those Kennedy women are hell-bent on keeping both Swifty AND him away from Conor!

    And I totally buy that Shitfy Swifty (typo, and it stays) is plotting how to have a baby (at the bare minimum) to firmly implant herself into some part (however small) of the Kennedy big picture.

  51. itsa says:

    I don’t care if he’s 18 and “legal”. He’s in high school! Only someone really creepy would want to date a kid in high school when they’re in their 20’s. If it were reversed and it was a 20-something male actor dating a high school girl, people would be all over it.

    • Fudge you, I'm going to Guam! says:

      That’s the thing, if it was the reverse people wouldn’t be “all over it”.
      Like I said earlier, Robert Pattinson was 22 when he started dating 17 year old Kristen Stewart.
      I didn’t hear a peep.

  52. dcypher1 says:

    Shes such a cradle robber she could waite till he done with high school.

  53. palermo says:

    She is dating a HIGH SCHOOL boy. This is way too pedo-ish for my taste. What boy that young has anything to offer. In his case it’s the Kennedy name, but can you imagine the goofball conversations? I have lost all respect for her, she is downright stalkerish about all this, buying the house next door etc.

  54. Scarlett says:

    This is the type of girl who already has her wedding dress picked out as well as her china pattern. No running off to Vegas for her. I agree with the pool full of swams and you know there is going to be a horse drawn carriage and a flock of doves released also.

  55. baja says:

    …………..she must come up with something.
    NOT?
