Kennedy Family To Honor Taylor Swift

The Kennedy family are set to honor Taylor Swift at a gala in December.

Although the 'We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together' singer split from Conor Kennedy -the son of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and the late Mary Kennedy - recently, his family are going ahead with plans to pay tribute to her at the Robert F. Kennedy Center for Justice and Human Rights' Ripple of Hope Awards Dinner.

The event is set to be held at New York's Marriott Marquis on December 3.

While Taylor and Conor have recently split, the family are said to believe the romance isn't completely over as it was his schoolwork and her busy schedule which tore them apart.

A source told the New York Post's Page Six: "Conor has gone back to school, and the deans at Deerfield Academy in Massachusetts are not happy about him jetting around with Taylor. He was due to attend an awards ceremony with her at the end of the summer, but the school chiefs put the kibosh on it. He can't just leave school to be with her at every point."

Are they trying to make sure the song she writes about the break up is favorable?
robertsbox_xo 26th-Oct-2012 02:58 pm (UTC)
eh, the break up seems amicable. if she does write about it i'm sure it won't be angry.
black_phoenix 26th-Oct-2012 05:11 pm (UTC)
I feel like the speculation about who her break-up songs are about is like ninety seven percent of interest in her. "Oooh, what public figure will she drag next?"

Has she ever written a song where the guy came off well except for "Back to December"? Which is (supposedly) about Lautner, the only person she's ever "dated" (quotes on account of his extreme gayness) that her target demographic likes more then her.

If anybody thinks she's doing that shit by coincidence, then they need to get off the internet before a Nigerian prince gets then.
mattthew 26th-Oct-2012 02:57 pm (UTC)

anchors_oceans 26th-Oct-2012 02:58 pm (UTC)
of all people, they're honoring taylor swift? i don't get it... except for saving face so that the song she inevitably writes is nice to conor.
robertsbox_xo 26th-Oct-2012 03:05 pm (UTC)
i think its for her charity work but idk
dandyxwarhol 26th-Oct-2012 03:09 pm (UTC)
yeah I've never really known her to be that inspirational or anything worth honoring besides being cute
winniechili 26th-Oct-2012 03:28 pm (UTC)
She has the emotional maturity of a 13 year old but she's done a shit ton of charity stuff.
crashh_world 26th-Oct-2012 03:32 pm (UTC)
I'm sure they are very grateful that Conor had her after his mother's death and she is pretty charitable.
blahblahcakes64 26th-Oct-2012 02:59 pm (UTC)
That's generous of them? And really, really weird.
imnotasquirrel 26th-Oct-2012 03:01 pm (UTC)
lmao ikr

like... what has she done that deserves a tribute?

granted, i don't follow taylor swift that closely aside from ontd posts so there could actually be a valid answer to this.
robertsbox_xo 26th-Oct-2012 03:05 pm (UTC)
she does a lot of charity work, probably for that
andisprohi 27th-Oct-2012 01:08 am (UTC)
They'll probably put a bug in her award
la_petite_singe 26th-Oct-2012 03:01 pm (UTC)
Wait, honor her for what? Her music? Or does she do charity or something? I don't really pay attention, but this seems...odd.
robertsbox_xo 26th-Oct-2012 03:05 pm (UTC)
charity im guessing
latexana 26th-Oct-2012 03:02 pm (UTC)
they broke up? when?
but I swear, this girl aparently just dates to have fodder for her songs. call me when she has a relationship that lasts more than a year.
xtinkerbellax 26th-Oct-2012 03:16 pm (UTC)
Have any of the relationships she's had with famous guys lasted a year? I feel like she's the type to get super serious super fast.
distant_lines 26th-Oct-2012 03:20 pm (UTC)
They probably feel like a year to whatever guy she's with atm. I imagine being with her to be so exhausting.
robertsbox_xo 26th-Oct-2012 03:28 pm (UTC)
the only famous guys she's dated have been lautner, gyllenhaal and jonas. and kennedy i guess.

the rest have been like, 1-2 dates.
silentsymphonie 26th-Oct-2012 03:20 pm (UTC)
ikr? all these quick relationships and the subsequent songs, it's getting (or has been) old.
this_repetition 26th-Oct-2012 03:05 pm (UTC)
Yeah. Senior projects take a lot of time to complete.
astrologee 26th-Oct-2012 03:05 pm (UTC)
that is weird.
tragickingdomxo 26th-Oct-2012 03:05 pm (UTC)
What has she done for justice or human rights? Calling out John Mayer could be considered a pubic service I suppose.
dizzy879 26th-Oct-2012 03:09 pm (UTC)
It was funny how butthurt John Mayer was over that little song she wrote. Haha, he does the same thing.
black_phoenix 26th-Oct-2012 05:13 pm (UTC)
I feel like there's a difference, but maybe I'm wrong.
for_serious13 26th-Oct-2012 09:48 pm (UTC)
he's butthurt because that song made it sound like he took her virginity, when they didn't even have sex.
this_repetition 26th-Oct-2012 03:27 pm (UTC)
She posed for the NOH8 campaign! That's serious business!
direfaces 27th-Oct-2012 08:41 pm (UTC)
lmao @ the john mayer part. he's unbearable.
dizzy879 26th-Oct-2012 03:06 pm (UTC)
Lol, I thought she would hold on to this one for dear life.
radwimp 26th-Oct-2012 03:08 pm (UTC)
sounds like she scared him off trying lol

The Robert F. Kennedy Ripple of Hope Award lauds leaders of the international business, entertainment, and activist communities who demonstrate commitment to social change. Honorees including President Bill Clinton, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Bono, George Clooney and Vice President Al Gore reflect Robert Kennedy’s passion for equality, justice, basic human rights, and his belief that we all must strive to "make gentle the life of this world."
ilouboutin Re: fyi26th-Oct-2012 03:18 pm (UTC)
she's totally in the same category as them!
squarebiz2you Re: fyi26th-Oct-2012 09:09 pm (UTC)
heh
imnotasquirrel 26th-Oct-2012 03:19 pm (UTC)

anchors_oceans Re: fyi26th-Oct-2012 03:22 pm (UTC)

hypermuseic9 Re: fyi26th-Oct-2012 04:36 pm (UTC)
wow at this list. have they honored any women tho?
daffneygillifin Re: fyi27th-Oct-2012 04:31 am (UTC)
Sure Bill Clinton has done a ton what with the Clinton Foundation and being President of the United States and all but has he ever written a song about John Mayer taking advantage of him?
