Report: Taylor Swift and Conor Kennedy split

Cindy Clark, USA TODAY | USATODAY

Summer is over, and apparently so is the summer romance between Taylor Swift and Conor Kennedy.

The pair, who were first spotted in July canoodling at the Kennedy family compound in Hyannisport, Mass., have broken up, reportsUs Weekly. The mag quotes a close friend of the couple as saying it was distance that ultimately put an end to things.

Swift, 22, has been busy promoting her new album, Red. Conor, 18, is the son of Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., and the late Mary Richardson Kennedy. He is a high school senior.

Over the summer, Swift was spotted accompanying Conor to the grave of his mother, who suffered from alcoholism and depression and hanged herself in a barn at her New York estate in May.

In August, People reported that Swift spent $5 million on a beachside mansion near the home of Ethel Kennedy, widow of RFK and Conor's grandmother. Will she still vacation there now that they have reportedly split??





One thing's almost certain: a thinly veiled song about the summer fling on Swift's next album.
