What started off as a friendship has blossomed into a romance!

Taylor Swift has a new man in her life and he comes from a VERY famous family... the Kennedy's. That's right, Taylor's new beau is Conor Kennedy, grandson of Robert F. Kennedy. And Conor has his grandmother, Ethel, to thank for the budding romance, as she got the ball rolling by simply asking to meet the country starlet, Gossip Cop reports.

It all started last year when Ethel put in her request to meet Taylor, during that meeting Taylor and the Kennedy's really hit it off. The country singer then accompanied Ethel's daughter, Rory, to the Sundance Film Festival, followed by a 4th of July invite to the families Hyannis Port residence and the rest is history.

Taylor and Conor are completely smitten by each other and reportedly returned to his family's home in Hyannis Port, Massachusetts last weekend. Conor better be good to her because Taylor has no problem throwing her exes under the bus with embarrassing love songs.
