Taylor Swift: Lunch with Conor Kennedy in upstate New York



Taylor Swift and Conor Kennedy, the 18-year-old son of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and the late Mary Kennedy, were photographed leaving Marcella’s Pizza in Mount Kisco on Wednesday (25 July). Earlier this month, they celebrated the Fourth of July together at the Kennedy compound in Hyannis Port, Massachusetts. 

It was a busy Wednesday for the pair. Swift made a quick trip to NYC to unveil her new album's lead single to radio bosses. Kennedy appeared in court to be named as one of two administrators of his mother's estate, estimated at nearly $2.1 million. Conor, whose full name is John Conor Kennedy, turned 18 on Tuesday and applied to be the administrator that afternoon. He said little during the hearing other than thanking the judge for wishing him a happy birthday. 

Swift has denied recent reports that she is romantically linked to another member of the Kennedy clan: Patrick Schwarzenegger. "Patrick's a friend"

"I don't read any gossip about me, because I don't want to be weirded out by who people think I'm dating. I should just warn guys [who talk to me.]… 'This is what you can expect tomorrow on all these different blogs'."

Not to say teenagers are stupid and say she was 15 when she wrote this, but teenagers are stupid and she was 15 when she wrote that.

There's really no excuse for this. Especially after she's told us all how much she was hurt by bullies herself as a child a thousand damn times.

But see, she wrote it as a dumb and scorned 15-year-old girl. She has, many times stated that she supports love of any kind. She was more so zoning in on the fact that dumb, popular, high school jocks think being called gay is the worst thing in the world. Is it an insult? No. Should she have written the song that way? No. But it's quite clear that she wasn't using it with purpose to offend or put down homosexuals. Sometimes it's better if we try not to be offended by things that aren't meant to offend us.

as someone who's queer, it's not clear to me that she didn't mean to put down gay ppl

So go and tell your friends that I'm obsessive and crazy
That's fine I'll tell mine that you're gay!


sounds a lot like she's saying that being gay is worse than being obsessive and crazy

Okay.

I mean, I'm a big supporter for gay rights. So, don't think I'm not. But, people make mistakes when they're 15. Should she be judged her entire life because of one song that she even changed after it offended people? Since then she has expressed her support. Even in Mean, she had a "gay" character in a positive light.

I mean, I know it's ~cool to hate Taylor, but I just think this part is reaching.

+I thought she changed the lyric before the song was even made a single because it could have been taken as homophobic? Not because of complaints but i'm not sure, there was apparently an interview on it that i can't find.
I never found the lyrics to be homophobic, but I can see why people can take it like that... But shit... you know, Sure it needs to be pointed out but people waste a lot of time and energy on it and i'm like... there are worse people in the world.

Seriously.

That's just what immature people do when they break up with one another. It happened to my roommates; she was "crazy" according to her ex after they broke up (which was always true), and she called him "gay," which he isn't.

And then I stopped fraternizing with those people.

Those are just the names that would hurt the opposite sex the most. It's immature, but c'mon, she was 15.

I don't see any homophobia in those lyrics.

Exactly.
I'm not saying she wasn't being immature, but I just don't see it as being homophobic.

First of all, if you're not Homosexual(you sound like you're not), you really shouldn't be telling us what to be offended by. And yes, what Taylor Swift said in that song was offensive. It continues to be offensive, even after she changed the lyrics and proclaimed her support for "love of any kind", no matter how you feel about it.
bbggoodd 26th-Jul-2012 11:54 pm (UTC)
Alright. Be offended by it.

I didn't realize you had to sound a certain way in order to be gay....
ritzyroxie 26th-Jul-2012 11:59 pm (UTC)
You don't have to sound a certain way to be Gay.

You have to be able to differentiate between a homophobe and a person who is not at a basic level, though. You failed that one.

So have you disliked Taylor ever since she made that comment? I guess what I'm trying to ask is: does the gay community in general dislike Taylor Swift because of this?
ritzyroxie 27th-Jul-2012 12:09 am (UTC)
I've disliked her since I heard that she made that comment, yes. I don't think the Gay community in general knows about this tbh. I don't think many people in general know that she made that comment, in fact. That's why I made this icon in the first place.

I'm gay and I love Taylor. I've been to one of her concerts, even (with my lesbian lovahhh). (But I don't eat Chick-fil-a!!)
