Sexy songbird Taylor Swift was spotted yesterday strolling hand-in-hand along a rocky beach near her new $5 million Hyannis Port, Mass., home with Kennedy-clan member Conor.
The “You Belong With Me,” singer, 22, and Conor, 18, have also been seen canoodling at exclusive parties around Cape Cod.
The two have been friends for months, but they’ve been public with their romance since Conor’s 18th birthday last month.

Swift and Kennedy, the son of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., met on July 4, and fireworks instantly went off. They’re now “infatuated” with each other, according to a Kennedy source.
Ethel Kennedy had been “fascinated” with Swift’s musical talent and humanitarian reputation for about a year, an insider said.
She read a 2011 New Yorker piece in which Swift gushed that when on tour, she uses her computer to watch TV documentaries about the famed family.
“I’m just so obsessed with the whole history of JFK and RFK,” Swift told the magazine, adding that she had completed a 900-page book called “The Kennedy Women.”
Ethel and Swift became such great pals, the Grammy winner flew out to the Sundance Film Festival in January to walk Ethel down the red carpet at the premiere of “Ethel,” the Rory Kennedy-directed HBO documentary about the widow’s life.
The Kennedy kin also love Swift’s wholesome, all-American image — a perfect shot in the arm for the famed family that has been battered by bad press and traumatic deaths for decades following the glory days of Camelot.
“They think it’s great,” that source said. “Anything positive associated with an all-American girl like Taylor Swift can’t do any harm.”
Pals say Swift has really helped Conor following the death of his mother Mary Richardson Kennedy. And Taylor has encouraged Conor to pursue his interest in whale research as well as take on the huge responsibility of becoming administrator of his late mother’s estate.
A source recently told The Post, “Taylor has a really generous and positive spirit, and the whole Kennedy family loves her.”
“It has been a very difficult time for Conor, losing his mother, and Taylor has great positive energy. She is definitely helping him through this.
