Kennedy Matriarch: We’d Be “So Lucky” to Have Taylor Swift in Family

Truth rating: 10

Taylor Swift‘s new relationship with Conor Kennedy just received a huge blessing from the family matriarch herself, Ethel Kennedy.

At a Television Critics Association panel on Wednesday, Ethel — the widow of Robert F. Kennedy — was asked for her thoughts on Swift dating her grandson, and whether the singer would make a good addition to their famous family.

“We should be so lucky,” Ethel told the crowd.

Though Ethel downplayed her role as matchmaker for the blossoming couple, the 83-year-old is at least partly responsible for the romance.

As Gossip Cop previously reported, Ethel and Swift became fast friends last year, after the former attorney general’s widow requested to meet the songstress.

Following even more time together at the Sundance Film Festival, Swift spent the July 4th holiday weekend with the Kennedy clan — after which she was wrongly linked to Patrick Schwarzenegger — and hit it off with Conor.

And the rest, as they say, is history.

    There is a big part of the Kennedy legacy that is not being addressed. The Kennedys are a brood that is bound by tradition, and one of the traditions is Kennedy men MESS with starlets and singers, they don’t MARRY them. That tradition goes all the way back to Joe Kennedy, when he openly had Gloria Swanson (silent film star) as a mistress. JFK & RFK (your bf’s grandpa) supposed to have shared Marilyn Monroe. (Well JFK definitely had her.) John-John dated Modonna, Daryl Hannah, Brooke Shields, Sarah Jessica Parker, Naomi Campbell, Sharon Stone, Janice Dickinson (“original supermodel”) (John John’s kill list comes from whodatedwho.com.) RFK Jr. was dating Cheryl Hines of “Curb Your Enthusiasm” while he was estranged from the wife who later committed suicide. Don’t delude yourself into thinking you will become a member of America’s “royal” family. As far as the Kennedys are concerned, you are just a rite of passage for Kennedy men until the right girl with the proper old-monied bloodlines comes along. Women in the entertainment business are that, for “entertainment”. They’re probably congratulating Conor for bagging a high profile female at so young an age. Watch your back Swifty.
