Taylor Swift Boyfriend

Like a good elder girlfriend, Taylor Swift, 23, chaperoned her current boyfriend Harry Styles to get his latest tat in West Hollywood on Tuesday.

With Taylor clinging to his side, the 18-year-old One Direction singer got an image of a huge ship inked on his left upper arm at the ever popular Shamrock Tattoo.

While Harry is no stranger to body art, he's so far managed to avoid getting Taylor's name etched permanently into his flesh.

Pretty funny -- considering the bad boy in Taylor's new music video "I Knew You Were Trouble" gets a very similar tattoo ... and the song's all about how he broke her heart (surprise).

As we previously reported, the two have been spending a lot of time together lately ... and took a romantic stroll around Central Park earlier this week.

If history repeats itself, "Haylor" will enjoy a few more weeks of dating bliss before things go sour, Swift writes a breakup anthem and moves on to the next unsuspecting hit maker.

Enjoy it while you can, young lovers.

10:00 AM -- Harry and Taylor left the same hotel moments ago, just minutes apart from each other.

With rumors of a secret relationship in full swing, Taylor Swift and One Direction heartthrob Harry Styles were spotted in a FULL-ON CANOODLING SESSION in NYC this weekend.

While there appeared to be no hand-holding or lip-smoochery, the two seemed to be very into each other during a stroll through Central Park.

If ... and only IF ... they dated, Harry would follow in a long line of Taylor's celebrity conquests ... which includes John Mayer, Jake Gyllenhaal, Joe Jonas, Taylor Lautner and Cory Monteith.

Taylor Swift hasn't pulled the plug on her deal to buy a mansion next to the Kennedy compound in Massachusetts ... yet ... despite rumors she split from her Kennedy family boyfriend -- TMZ has learned.

A source connected with the real estate transaction tells us, the deal for the $4.5 million Hyannis Port home is still going full steam ahead ... and is currently scheduled to close in two weeks.

As we reported, Taylor plunked down the cash for the home -- located across the street from Ethel Kennedy -- in order to be closer to her 18-year-old boyfriend Conor Kennedy.

Reports are now circulating the couple has called it quits -- but so far, that hasn't changed Taylor's real estate plans.

Still counts as an investment, right?

Taylor Swift is never, ever, ever ... gonna be more than a stone's throw from the Kennedys ... because TMZ has learned, Swifty DEFINITELY bought a mansion next door to their famous Cape Cod compound.

According to a local realtor ... Swift 100% will be moving across the street from Ethel Kennedy -- despite reports to the contrary. The realtor tells us the singer dropped around $4.5 million on the beachside mansion in Hyannis Port, MA.

As you know ... Taylor and 18-year-old Connor Kennedy -- grandson of the late Robert F. Kennedy and Ethel -- started dating a few months back.

Our sources tell us the deal will close in 3 weeks.

As for the crib -- we're talking 7 bedrooms, 6 baths, over 4,400 square feet, an acre of land and its own private beach.

Taylor Swift has ALREADY been accepted as a member of the Kennedy family ... so says former U.S. Representative Patrick Kennedy ... who tells TMZ the family is THRILLED she's dating Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s son.

TMZ was out in Charlotte, North Carolina yesterday when we ran into Rep. Kennedy ... and asked him how he felt about 18-year-old Conor Kennedy's blossoming relationship with the 22-year-old singer.

"We love Taylor Swift ... she's been a great friend and we're happy for Conor."

Kennedy continued, "If she wants to be in the family, she's already a part of it."

Taylor and Conor have been virtually inseparable for the past couple of months ... with Taylor even accompanying Kennedy to visit his mother's grave after she passed away back in May.

Taylor Swift played the role of supportive girlfriend yesterday ... accompanying her boyfriend Conor Kennedy as he visited his mother's grave site on Cape Cod.

The two were joined by several members of the Kennedy family, including Conor's brother and sister, who were all paying respects to the late Mary Richardson Kennedy.

It's a love story ... and now, it's PHYSICAL -- with Taylor Swift and her 18-year-old boyfriend Conor Kennedy locking lips in a passionate kiss earlier today in Massachusetts.

22-year-old Taylor and Conor have been dating for the last few months -- but this makes it official ... because it's the first time they've been seen kissing in public.

FYI -- Conor is the son of Robert Kennedy Jr. and the late Mary Kennedy. He is also Patrick Schwarzenegger's second cousin.

Taylor Swift has a habit of trashing exes in song ... including her new #1 hit -- so who's crazier? Taylor or the dudes who keep dating her? Harvey is definitely leaning one way on this.

Taylor Swift might have a new love story in the works ... 'cause the country superstar spent a romantic 4th of July on the beach with Arnold Schwarzenegger's son.

22-year-old Taylor and 18-year-old Patrick Schwarzenegger were spotted in Massachusetts together ... laughing ... and at one point, taking a private stroll along the beach.

We're told the two were also seen with several members of the Kennedy family.

Despite having three nominations, country darling Taylor Swift skipped the CMT Awards in Nashville last night ... to watch the the L.A. Kings at a bar instead.

Wearing a floral prairie dress and sensible shoes, the 22-year-old -- who also lost in all 3 nominated categories -- was spotted leaving The Cut Saloon in Brentwood after watching Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Finals.

The serial dater's award no-show comes on the heels of John Mayer complaining in Rolling Stone magazine that he was "humiliated" by Taylor's song "Dear John," which is allegedly about the adult-contemporary crooner.

Sources tell us the duo have been in the past several mornings and "looked like they were more than friends" ... whatever that means.

No word if the two are "officially" dating ... but we're guessing 19-year-old Swifty is just another girl waiting for this piece of underage meat to turn 18.

And, no, there's nothing weird about John serenading Taylor. She's 19.

The thousands of screaming tween girls, on the other hand ...
