“Taylor Swift’s brother celebrated her for being a good sister and supporting him. He said, ‘Even though we fight a lot, she’s still my sister.'”
Taylor Swift’s brother Austin is one of the singer’s “best pals.”Born to parents Andrea and Scott Swift on March 11, 1992, Austin grew up alongside the Grammy winner on their family’s Christmas tree farm in rural Pennsylvania. When he was around 9 years old, they relocated to Nashville in order to support Taylor’s budding music career.
“She found singing, and I knew from very early on that that was her direction,” he told Vanity Fair in 2017. “She was never going to quit; that was her thing, that was her life.”
As he searched for his own passion, he found himself frequently engrossed in movies. He went on to study film at the University of Notre Dame, where he tried his hand at acting for the first time.
“I’m pretty reserved in most circumstances, so [acting] never seemed like it would be a good fit,” Austin told PEOPLE in April 2018. “But I kind of got thrust into it and realized that it could be an opportunity to be creative.”
With a handful of acting and producing credits now under his belt, Austin is making a name for himself in Hollywood and beyond.
