Taylor Swift

Taylor Swift and Conor Kennedy have reportedly split up.

The 'We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together' hitmaker - who has dated a host of Hollywood hunks in the past including Taylor Lautner and Jake Gyllenhaal - are said to have amicably broken up ''a while ago'' but there are ''no hard feelings'' between the pair.

A friend told Us Weekly: ''They quietly parted ways a while ago. It was just a distance thing. No hard feelings. They're fine.''

Taylor - who has also previously dated singers John Mayer and Joe Jonas - is not thought to have seen Conor, who is the son of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and the late Mary Kennedy, for more than a month as the 22-year-old singer has been busy promoting her fourth studio album 'Red', which was released on Monday (22.10.12).

The friend added: ''It's been over a month since they've even seen each other. With her promotion for 'Red', she has no time off until the end of the year.''

Taylor and Conor, 18, were first spotted together in July and the blonde beauty was said to have missed him so much when she left him in Massachusetts to go home to Nashville over the summer that she chartered a private jet so he could visit.

Speaking at the end of August, a source explained: ''Taylor missed Conor so much, she sent a plane for him a few days later. He's been with her ever since, and his family doesn't know when he will be back.

''Things have become so serious between them so fast that no one in Hyannis Port [where the Kennedy family's summer home is located] would be surprised if they eloped.''

However, Taylor rarely speaks openly about her private life, preferring to write down in feelings in her song lyrics, and has never confirmed the pair were dating.
