Taylor Swift headed to Park City, Utah on Friday for the Sundance Film Festival. The 22-year-old Country superstar wasn’t there to promote any films of her own, but instead she was there to support a film about one of the only people to have ever gotten her starstruck: Ethel Kennedy, the wife of the late Robert Kennedy.
 
MTV News reports, Swift, who was in knitted cap and a white overcoat, walked the red carpet where she posed for pictures, along with Robert Redford and 23 members of the Kennedy family. They were all in attendance for the premiere of the upcoming HBO documentary called Ethel, directed by Ethel’s daughter Rory, who was also in attendance.
 
Swift met Ethel Kennedy as well as Caroline Kennedy recently, and was fascinated by Ethel . After their meeting, she wanted to learn more about Ethel and Robert Kennedy and the Kennedy family.
 
“The only time in my life I have ever been starstruck was meeting Caroline and Ethel Kennedy,” Swift told the February issue of Vogue. “I got to spend the afternoon with Ethel a couple of weeks ago.”
 
 “She is one of my favorites because you look back at the pictures of her and Bobby and they always look like they are having the most fun out of everybody,” she added. “You know, eleven kids, all these exotic animals on their property. I’ve read a lot about them.”
 
Swift was a big fan of the film.
 
“Went to Sundance to see Rory Kennedy's documentary about her mother, @Ethel_Movie,” she tweeted on Friday. “It was moving, hilarious, and beautiful.”
