Taylor Swift obsessed with Kennedy family

Taylor Swift, who is dating Conor Kennedy, is said to be completely preoccupied with all things related to his iconic family.

"She's obsessed with the family," Us magazine quoted a friend as saying.

One source said that Conor's cousin Ted Kennedy Jr. even called the 22-year-old singer a "Kennedy groupie!"

The 'We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together' hitmaker first grew enamored with the family while watching the 2011 miniseries 'The Kennedys,' then began collecting memorabilia for her Nashville and Beverly Hills pads and boning up on the clan's history.

"I just read a 900-page book called The Kennedy Women," she told Rolling Stone last summer.

Months later, Conor's aunt Rory reached out to the country singer for concert tickets, and she turned up at January's Sundance Film Festival to catch a screening of 'Ethel,' Rory's HBO documentary about her mom (and Conor's grandmother).

Her persistence paid off after Rory invited Swift to visit the family's compound for 4th of July weekend, where she met Conor, 18.

"She's a great friend of all of ours. She's awesome, and we love her," Rory said.

According to sources, she has fallen hard for Conor, despite their extremely brief courtship.

"She's head over heels. [Conor's] a smart, sensitive guy.

"She says it's a fantasy come true. [Taylor] is very smitten," an insider added.

Emma Watson names her all-time favourite outfits

It's no secret that when an young Emma Watson promoted the Harry Potter films which have brought her huge wealth and fortune, she used to rely on her stepmother's cast-offs to tread the red carpet. Undoubtedly style lows, the actress has now admitted that wearing "things that were just far too big for me too" are also up their on her 'rather forget' list.

So what is worth celebrating about her now very grown-up wardrobe, which includes elegant and occasionally risqué numbers by Valentino, Burberry and Marchesa?

"My all-time favourites are probably the white Alexander McQueen dress I wore to the Empire Awards and the vintage Ossie Clark dress I found in a shop around the corner from my house..." the 22-year-old tells the new issue of Glamour , which she covers to promoter her new film, The Perks of Being a Wallflower .

Unlike the aforementioned Steinfelds and Shipkas, Watson was the ripe old age of 18 when she debuted in said McQueen, wowing the crowds at The National Movie Awards in London in a romantic white gown with draped sleeves and a silver, crystal-embellished bust. And as for the grey, plunging neckline Ossie Clark gown she wore to the Harry Potter And The Half Blood Prince premiere in London's Leicester Square in 2009, we're glad to hear the memories sustained from that evening are good ones; torrential rain and a gust of wind revealed her flesh-coloured undergarments to the world.

Luckily, Watson has taken it all in her rather down-to-earth stride: "it helps that I've accepted my body shape more as I've got older" she concludes.
