Even as a grandmother, she’s American royalty.
Ethel Kennedy is so influential, Taylor Swift sought her approval to date grandson Conor Kennedy, 18 — and then begged her for forgiveness when other family members became irritated at all the attention Swift draws, sources said.
“Taylor is enthralled with Ethel and has been for a long time,” a Kennedy family snitch told the Daily News. “When she and Conor first got together,” over the summer, “Taylor couldn't have been more respectful.”
Now Swift is defending herself to the family matriarch — and everyone else — against accusations that she crashed Ethel cousin Kyle Kennedy’s wedding in August, upstaged the bride and infuriated her potential grandmother-in-law.
“I have no idea what happened there,” Swift told Rolling Stone. “I think that story was based on the biggest misunderstanding, ’cause I would never knowingly show up somewhere that I thought I wasn’t invited to. And I would never want to upstage anybody.”
