Taylor Swift’s summer love, Conor Kennedy (above right), was arrested on Wednesday in Washington, D.C., for civil disobedience with his dad, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., during a protest of the Keystone XL oil pipeline. Daryl Hannah, the actress and once the girlfriend of the late John F. Kennedy Jr., was also arrested during the demonstration. Last we heard of Conor, he and Swift had broken up after he returned to Deerfield Prep in Western Mass. His father reported later on Wednesday on Twitter that all protesters had been released from jail.
