Taylor Swift has made her affection for beau Conor Kennedy very clear.

The singer, 22, was spotted cozying up to the 18-year-old son of Robert Kennedy Jr. and the late Mary Kennedy in Hyannis Port, Mass. on Friday. The couple held hands and exchanged kisses on a romantic walk along the water.

Although they've only been dating for a few weeks, Swift and Kennedy's relationship has become more serious as the Nashville-based singer recently purchased a house across the street from Conor's grandmother, Ethel, in Hyannis Port, according to several reports.



But Swift has already won over Conor's family. Ethel's daughter, Rory, recently called the singer "a great friend of all of ours."
