Taylor 'Swiftly' becomes part of Kennedy clan

That was fast!

Taylor Swift has only been dating Conor Kennedy since July, but she's already been welcomed as part of the family, according to Conor's father, former Rep. Patrick Kennedy.

Kennedy was tracked down by TMZ while walking down the street in Charlotte, N.C., where he's attending the Democratic National Convention.

"She's been a great friend and we're happy for Conor," he told the website. "If she wants to be in the family, she's already a part of it."

Swift, 22, and Conor have been inseparable since the latter turned 18 in July - to the point where Swift reportedly sent a jet to bring him from Massachusetts to Nashville because she missed him so much.
