Did Taylor Swift's Kennedy obsession cause split? Conor 'freaked out as singer came on too strong'

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Summer romance over: Taylor Swift and Conor Kennedy have split after a three-month fling, pictured here in August in Massachusetts Their summer romance lasted barely three months. And now friends close to Taylor Swift and Conor Kennedy are blaming the split on the singer getting too serious too fast. Insiders says Taylor - who at 22 is four years older than Conor - freaked the 18-year-old by coming on too strong - and because of her apparent obsession with his famous family.

Sit down chat: Taylor pre-recorded an interview with Katie Couric on Monday before news of her love split, with the interview set to air on Friday on ABC 'Conor's just an 18-year-old kid and wasn't ready for anything super serious,' a pal told RadarOnline.com. 'But Taylor is looking for her soulmate and it kind of freaked him out with how strong she came on,' the insider went on. The friend also said that Taylor was obsessed with the Kennedy family - and was living out a fairytale with Conor.

Neighbours: Taylor is apparently still pressing ahead with plans to buy a house next to the Kennedy compound in Massachusetts 'She was more obsessed with the idea of dating a Kennedy, than the actual Kennedy she was dating,' the pal added. Earlier on Thursday Us Weekly reported the pair had split. Although sources the website spoke to seemed to suggest their parting was rather more amicable.

Promotional blitz: The country singer is currently promoting her new album red, seen left on Tuesday in New York and, right, on Wednesday A close friend of Swift's is quoted as telling the website: 'They quietly parted ways a while ago. It was just a distance thing. No hard feelings. They're fine.' According to the pal, Taylor has been flat out promoting her new album Red - and hasn't seen Massachusetts-based Conor for more than a month. Her album Red was released this week to critical acclaim and huge sales, and includes her new hit track We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together. The source added: 'It's been over a month since they've even seen each other. With her promotion for Red, she has no time off until the end of the year.'

Staying mum: Taylor seen in a still from a pre-recorded, upcoming interview with Ellen DeGeneres where she is quizzed about her love life Taylor and Connor - the son of Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. and the late Mary Kennedy - were first spotted together at the Kennedy family home in Hyannisport in July. She is also believed to be sealing a deal to buy a $4.5m mansion next to the Kennedy compound - and plans to press ahead despite the split, according to TMZ. source: dailymail
