Taylor Swift fans shocked after learning about her earlier controversial relationships amid Travis Kelce romance

Taylor Swift has ignited controversy after social media users rediscovered the ages of her former partners in some of her earlier relationships.

The Life of a Showgirl songstress, 35, has dated several high-profile celebrities over the years before eventually finding love with fiancé Travis Kelce.

But in recent days, fans have been left particularly stunned by her romances with Taylor Lautner, Conor Kennedy, and Harry Styles.

In a viral post on X, formerly known as Twitter, users pointed out Taylor was in her twenties when she dated the three men, who were in their late teens.

Taylor and Lautner dated back in 2009, when she was 19 and he was 17.

The couple first met while filming the upcoming ensemble romantic comedy Valentine’s Day, where they shared an on-screen kiss.

She described the moment as ‘life-changing,’ and he appeared equally smitten, saying he definitely considered her ‘his type.’

However, it was a mere two months before their relationship was over.

‘He liked her more than she liked him. He went everywhere he could to see her, but she didn’t travel much to see him,’ a source told Us Weekly at the time. ‘They decided they were better as friends.’

Taylor was 22 when she dated Robert F. Kennedy’s son, Conor Kennedy, in the summer of 2012 when he was 17.

During their brief romance, Taylor bought a $5 million Cape Cod mansion which was located within walking distance of the Kennedy Compound in Hyannis Port.

The pop star reportedly met Conor in the summer of 2012, after she released her song Starlight, which was inspired by his grandparents Ethel and Robert F. Kennedy Sr.

At the time, Conor was living in the wake of the tragic death of his mother Mary Richardson Kennedy.

Mary, who had been in the midst of a divorce from his father Robert F. Kennedy Jr., died by suicide in May 2012.

Taylor and Conor were linked after a party in July 2012, when they reportedly kiss and showed off some PDA.

But the relationship wasn’t long for the world, and they went their separate ways by October 2012.

One month after her split from Conor, Taylor went on to date One Direction singer Harry.

At the time of their short three-month fling, she was 23 and Harry was just 18.

Social media users have expressed their shock at romances, with some calling into question the double standards.

‘If the roles were reversed everyone would be calling the guys creep, just sayin,’ one said on X.

‘I’m so glad people are finally talking about this, I found this weird back then and I still do,’ said another. ‘You just couldn’t talk about it because Swifties would crucify you.’

A third added: ‘I can’t imagine how anyone out of high school would enjoy dating a high schooler. Unless you were dating in high school and they are only a year younger than you. Otherwise, it just feels creepy.’

‘Oh I remember that. Swifties tried to downplay it,’ said a fourth.

Others, however, were unbothered by the age differences. 

‘What’s wrong with 23 and 18?’ asked one, as another said, ‘That’s normal. I’ve known at least 15 people who were in those age gap relationships.’ 

Taylor’s early relationships resurfaced in the wake of the release of her latest album, Life of a Showgirl, which included an alleged ‘diss track’ against Charli XCX.

Social media has been abuzz with users begging Charli to reference the pop star’s romances should she consider responding.

With her string of famous exes behind her, Taylor is now engaged to NFL star Travis, who is two months her senior. 

Travis, 36, popped the question in August, and their engagement announcement sent the internet into meltdown.

During a recent appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Taylor said that the proposal made her see him in a new light.

‘I was like, “He is so serious about this, and I really appreciate that.”

‘Afterward, I kind of realized, he’s walking around sort of nervous about the [New Heights] podcast, he’s like, “My heart is racing, I know how much this means to you, I really want this to be what you hoped it would be,” because we’d been talking about doing the podcast and announcing the album.’

‘He’s like, “My heart is racing,” and I’ve never seen this dude nervous, ever.

‘He’s professionally not a nervous person.’
