Taylor Swift and Conor Kennedy Taylor Swift, Celebrity Wedding Crasher

Perhaps you’ve heard that Taylor Swift is dating a Kennedy? Yes, the 22-year-old is now knocking boots (allegedly) with 18-year-old Conor Kennedy, whose mother committed suicide just a few short months ago.

Now, the feminist in me is keeping commentary on THAT pairing in check, because SURE 22 is kind of old when you’re talking about a BARELY LEGAL teen, but HEY! YOUNG LOVE, and stuff.

N E WAY.

The couple have been hanging out in the Hamptons and Westchester, NY, and Cape Cod, MA, as rich people in New England are wont to do. Taylor has been embraced by the family and was even rumored to have purchased a property that the Kennedy family was restricted from buying…or something…and then selling it to them.

WHITE RICHIES, AMIRITE?!

All this Kennedy-Swift love, however, began to run thin this past weekend when there was a family wedding. Rumors were flying that Taylor had never, in fact, been invited to the event, but that maybe Conor had. Conor, however, being an 18-year-old KID, didn’t RSVP to the event until an HOUR before the nuptials when he TEXTED the mother of the bride.

Klassy.

When the pair showed up, the MotB was understandably concerned that having the famous Swift at the wedding would take attention away from the newlyweds themselves. She asked Swift and her boy toy to leave—TWICE—but apparently they didn’t. A few days after the wedding, when these rumors first surfaced, Taylor’s rep immediately shot them down. End of story, right?

ENTER KATHIE LEE GIFFORD.

Well. Little did Taylor’s rep know that the stepmother of the mother of the bride (you follow?) was Kathie Lee, who was ALSO in attendance that day. And she confirmed, on her daily drunken morning show, that Taylor was confronted and asked to leave, but merely lingered in the hallway instead.

HOLY DRAMZ, you guys.

In the end, this is obviously a faux pas on Conor’s behalf, but dude is only 18, right? Did Taylor really think this would be a good idea? I dunno…maybe she’s looking to land a role in the next Wedding Crashers flick.

TRÈS embarrassing.

(I give the couple a few more months.)

    reflects most badly on mother of the bride & Kathie-Lee, the supposed “adults” in the situation – a cousin of the bride shows up to a wedding he was invited to with his very much acknowledged girlfriend without RSVP’ing – oh well, he’s a kid – you say “welcome” and don’t make a fuss – maybe scold him IN PRIVATE after the fact, the next day maybe but you do not under any circumstances if you are a Kennedy talk to the press about it – ESPECIALLY if you have posted happy pictures of yourself with Taylor Swift at the wedding on your facebook/twitter/whatever

    cannot wait for Swift to go to prom – that will be GOLDEN

    Cannot stand Kathie Lee……just wanted to throw that in.

    Boo mother of the bride!

    Imma take the side of the MoB on this. The invitations were likely sent out months ago, prior to this new relationship. Seating charts were made, at the very least. Conor is a KENNEDY, for crap’s sake. If anyone, even an 18-year-old, should be well-versed in etiquette, it is a Kennedy. He was rude on three levels: not RSVPing in a timely manner, RSVPing at the last minute via text (OMG), and showing up with an uninvited date, and a famous one at that. Way to take the attention away from the wedding couple, dude. Make that four counts: He refused to leave when politely asked.

    Anyone else skeazed out by this relationship? Granted it’s not Courtney Stoddard territory; but she’s busy collecting Grammys and he’s still worrying about his SAT scores.

  • Tyskkvinna

    I don’t get the “creepy” vibe off of the relationship – she’s pretty young. And probably just as mature…

    Actually, Li’l Kennedy just passes the standard creepiness rule for dating pool age

    Fact check: Kathie Lee is the step mother of the mother of the groom. She is step mom of Victoria Gifford, who was married to Michael Kennedy (caught with teenage babysitter and former ski football player). Vicki is mother to Kyle Kennedy, the groom.

    The wife is Liam Kerr who looks adorable (http://tinyurl.com/998wmwp) and whose family apparently is nobody of note and has no drama to contribute.

    As for dramz and faux pas, let’s recount:
    * RSVP via text with one hour notice is lame. That it is an 18 year old makes it understandable, not forgivable.
    * That the kid is a Kennedy makes me think 1) he should know better, and 2) he probably is a spoiled brat who is used to getting away with this kind of shit. That is all unsubstantiated opinion, of course. Verdict: still lame.
    * Who tells an invited guest not to come, even if they don’t RSVP? It happens all the time at weddings: some people drop out and others drop in unexpectedly. Yes, big planned shindig is big and planned and people can’t just be expected to show up unexpectedly. Except that they do. Shut up, groom’s mom.
    * Then we learn the real reason the groom’s mother doesn’t want this guy to come is not the timing but because of his date? It isn’t like this is Richard Gere showing up with a prostitute (of course, that might be more expected in this family). “Dammit, this girl is going to outshine all the Kennedys! I mean, the bride.” Weak.
    * Showing up after being told not to is lame. Is it the boy thinking he can do what he wants because he’s a Kennedy so shut up Gifford? Or maybe the bride and groom actually want him and his pop star GF there. Kyle: “hey babe, is it OK if Conor shows up with Taylor Swift?” Liam: “OMG!! Hells yeah, get your mom to move them closer to the head table!” Hard to call.
    * Asking guest to leave reception for being too big a star is lame. Not leaving after being asked to is also lame. Lames for everyone!
    * Taylor says the bride thanked her for coming. When was this, in the reception line? What else does the bride say then? Get a clue, Taylor. Or was the bride double checking that Taylor signed the guest book because OMG TAYLOR SWIFT IS AT MY WEDDING?! CAN I GET A PICTURE? HERE’S A SHARPIE, SIGN MY DRESS!1!!
    * Groom’s mom being worried about celebrity guest stealing the thunder from her son’s, I mean daughter-in-law’s big moment is somewhat understandable. Telling the press about how Taylor Swift totally upstaged your big moment, I mean your son’s big, I mean your daughter-in-law’s big moment does not help keep the focus on the newlyweds, does it? Kathie Lee blabbing about it just takes it to the next level, but is to be expected.
    * What do the parents of the bride think about all this? Who knows? They haven’t said anything. Because they have class. Or because the press didn’t realize they were anyone worth asking.

    Oh, come on. It was ok for her to date John Mayer and Jake Gyllenhall, both of whom have a larger age gap than this one, at a time when she was not much olderthan Conor, but now she’s creepy?
    And please …nobody decides to go to a wedding the hour before. The guy forgot he didn’t RSVP. And maybe Taylor should have been aware of possible security/paparazzi issues, but she’s dating a Kennedy, for Petes sake. And airing a young cousin’s etiquette mistake on national tv is just plain bad manners. Ease up.
