Taylor Swift & Conor Kennedy

Earlier this summer, rumors swirled linking Taylor Swift to Kennedy scion Patrick Schwarzenegger. But these days, she's shifted her affections to his cousin, Conor Kennedy (pictured with Swift in Cape Cod on Aug. 17), the son of Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. And this time, it seems Swift, 22, is playing for keeps. In fact, the country crooner -- who recently took Conor, 18, to Nashville to meet her parents -- reportedly bought a $5 million home across the street from the Kennedy compound in Hyannis Port, Mass. So could Taylor be the latest addition to the Kennedy clan? When a reporter asked Conor’s grandma Ethel that question, she replied: “We should be so lucky.” Now if only these two would stop crashing other people's weddings and start planning their own!
