Taylor Swift mourns the loss of Ethel Kennedy, the matriarch of the Kennedy family who recently passed away at the age of 96. Swift’s connection with Ethel goes beyond their meeting, as the singer was inspired by a black-and-white photo of a young Ethel and Robert F. Kennedy to write her song “Starlight.” The pop star met Ethel at the Sundance Film Festival in 2012, after being introduced by Ethel’s daughter. This connection led to Swift dating Ethel’s grandson, Conor Kennedy, but the couple remained private about their relationship. Fans have speculated that Swift’s song “Begin Again” is about her romance with Conor. Despite the end of their relationship, Ethel had previously said that she would “be so lucky” to have Swift as a granddaughter-in-law. Swift has always been discreet about her personal life but uses her music to share glimpses of her experiences. The passing of Ethel Kennedy has brought back memories of their brief but impactful connection, highlighting the bond between the iconic singer and the Kennedy family.
