Many Swifties believed they knew everything there was to know about the musician until recently.
People have commented on social media after learning that her sibling is also a well-known celebrity. One admirer asked, “Why do we never hear about him?”
“She has a brother?!” asks another.
“I didn’t know she had a brother,” adds another.
Swift is among the best-selling musicians in history and has been named one of the greatest by Rolling Stones, Billboard, and Forbes, among other magazines.
The singer of “I Knew You Were Trouble” has completed the highest-grossing tour in history, earning over $1 billion.
Swift has a close-knit family despite her popularity and notoriety.
The vocalist of “Cruel Summer” has had tremendous support from her loved ones ever since the start of her profession.
Her parents, Scott and Andrea, drove to her local concerts in Wyomissing, Pennsylvania, where they watched her do karaoke.
Swift had the backing of both her parents and her sibling.
He stated, “She found singing, and I knew from very early on that that was her direction.”
“She was never going to quit; that was her thing, that was her life.”
“That was her thing, that was her life; she was never going to give up.”
Swift’s younger brother and she are a helpful sibling pair who frequently compliment each other’s accomplishments on Instagram.
“I have always had a best friend, a role model, and a caring, tireless, dedicated champion in my corner. You have pulled me out of fires and carried me up mountains,” the singer wrote on his 29th birthday. You have carried me up mountains and pulled me out of fires.
“The gift of getting to witness you become the wonderful person you are today has been the greatest privilege and honor of my life.”
Her brother, who you might recognize from his work on the big screen, shares Swift’s strong work ethic.
After studying acting and film at the University of Notre Dame, 32-year-old Austin Swift graduated in 2015.
“I’m pretty reserved in most circumstances, so [acting] never seemed like it would be a good fit,” he said to People magazine.
“But I kind of got thrust into it and realized that it could be an opportunity to be creative.”
Austin started working as an intern at Lionsgate after graduating, creating and distributing DVD screeners.
In the psychological thriller I.T. (2016), he made his screen debut opposite Pierce Brosnan, Michael Nyqvist, and Karen Moskow.
Since then, he has acted in several movies and television series, such as We Summon the Darkness, Braking for Whales, and Still the King.
Austin has also collaborated with his sister, managing parts of her music licensing for multimedia in addition to appearing and producing in a number of her music videos.
