Sure, she’s dating a Kennedy — but that doesn’t mean they want her crashing their weddings.
Singer Taylor Swift, 22, and her beau, Conor Kennedy, 18 turned up at a family wedding in Boston last weekend — but did not leave after being asked twice to do so, Victoria Gifford Kennedy, the mother of the bride, told the Boston Herald.
The mom feared the unexpected appearance of the angelic-looking country-music superstar would draw attention away from her daughter and ruin her big day, she said.
“They texted me an hour before the wedding and asked if they could come,” Victoria Kennedy said.
“I responded with a very clear, ‘Please do not come.’ They came anyway . . . I personally went up to Ms. Swift, whose entrance distracted the entire event, politely introduced myself to her, and asked her as nicely as I could to leave. It was like talking to a ghost. She seemed to look right past me.”
But a rep for Swift insists that the bride’s mother is a liar, that Swift was a welcome guest and that the bride, Kyle Kennedy, was even happy to have the singer at her wedding.
“There is no truth to that,” said Swift’s publicist, Paula Erikson. “Taylor was invited to the wedding and the bride thanked her profusely for being there.”
A source at the Fairmont Copley Plaza hotel also claimed yesterday to have witnessed Swift being asked to leave the wedding of Kyle Kennedy to Liam Kerr.
The bride’s dad was the late Michael Kennedy. Her mom, Victoria, is the daughter of Giants legend Frank Gifford.
Victoria said Conor was invited, but he never RSVP’d. When he texted her to ask if he could bring his new girlfriend to the party, she said no.
But Swift and Conor turned up anyway, and the singer’s appearance sparked a commotion in the lobby as fans mobbed her.
Victoria Kennedy said the couple finally left the reception during dinner, but returned after the meal and spent the rest of the night dancing at the party.
The Grammy winner, Conor and several other members of the Kennedy clan made a visit to the grave of Conor’s mother, Mary Richardson, in Hyannis Port earlier this week, according to The Associated Press.
Swift held Conor’s hand and consoled him, and the group bowed their heads in prayer, according to the report.
Conor’s 52-year-old mother hanged herself May 16 in a barn behind the couple’s home in Bedford, NY, amid bitter divorce proceedings and a battle with depression and addiction.
