With the massive number of devoted fans Taylor Swift has, you’d think we would know everything there is to know about the chart-topping singer. Well, think again!
This week, some Swifties were left completely surprised to discover that Taylor is part of a pretty famous family. But hold on, Swifties, I’m not accusing your girl of being a nepo-baby, I promise. It’s not actually Taylor’s parents, Andrea and Scott, who’ve enjoyed the spotlight alongside the country-pop sensation, but her brother, Austin.
That’s right! Taylor has a brother who is making waves in Hollywood. Austin, now 32, pursued his passion for film by studying at university in Indiana. From there, he appeared in several local plays before landing an internship at Lionsgate, where he was responsible for creating screeners for movies. In 2016, Austin made his big-screen debut in the psychological thriller “I.T,” starring alongside Pierce Brosnan, James Frecheville, and Anna Friel.
Since then, Austin has been building an impressive resume. He starred alongside Ben Affleck in the crime drama “Live by Night,” appeared in the political drama “Embeds,” and had a role in the sitcom “Still the King.”
Apart from his successful acting career, Austin Swift shares a close-knit relationship with his Grammy-award winning sister. Taylor has always been supportive of her brother’s endeavors. In fact, she once skipped the MTV Europe Music Awards to attend one of his performances. The bond between the siblings is evident in the heartwarming film photo Taylor shared on National Siblings Day in 2020. In the caption, she described Austin as “one of my best pals” and expressed her pride in his latest role in the horror thriller “We Summon the Darkness.”
Austin, too, has expressed his deep admiration for his big sister. When Taylor made a groundbreaking political statement in 2018, he publicly expressed his respect and support for her. On Instagram, he posted, “When you thought you couldn’t respect your best friend any more than you already do. And then you do.” He also took to social media to celebrate Taylor’s 29th birthday, sharing a nostalgic photo of the two of them as children. In the caption, he highlighted the unwavering support Taylor has provided throughout their lives.
This Hollywood actor and his Grammy-winning sister have always been each other’s biggest supporters. The tight bond they share is both heartwarming and inspiring. So, next time you listen to a Taylor Swift hit, remember that there’s a talented actor in the family too!
