Taylor Swift’s brother, Austin Swift, is an actor turned producer

Born to parents Andrea and Scott Swift on March 11, 1992, Austin shares a very special bond with his darling sister, Taylor. He has always been spotted with her on her biggest moments. When Taylor found her passion for singing, Austin became a movie buff. It was his love for the movies that led him to the University of Notre Dame, where he started to explore acting. And by 2015, Austin graduated with a bachelor’s degree in film studies.

In 2016, Austin made his acting debut in the crime thriller, I.T., alongside Pierce Brosnan. In the same year, he was seen in the film, Live by Night, which also starred Ben Affleck and Zoe Saldana.

“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 gift of getting to witness you become the wonderful person you are today has been the greatest privilege and honor of my life.”

Apart from being Taylor’s constant cheerleader, Austin has also helped the singer with her musical rights. In 2025, Taylor announced that she'd acquired her music catalogue from Shamrock Capital, securing full ownership of her first six albums. She later revealed in a podcast that it was her brother, Austin, who helped her facilitate the deal with Shamrock Capital. Speaking about the same, she said:

“Rather than send lawyers or management, I sent my mom and my brother, who I work with, to L.A. They sat down with [the owners], Shamrock Capital, and told them what this meant to me. They told them the whole story. This changed my life. I can't believe it still. I'm so grateful.”
