Taylor Swift’s younger brother, Austin Swift, has made his mark in the entertainment industry, both as an actor and a producer. Born just three years after Taylor, Austin has been a steadfast supporter of his sister’s music career, moving with the family to Tennessee when Taylor was nine to better facilitate her pursuit of a musical career.
While Taylor became a global sensation, Austin carved his own path in the creative world. After attending the University of Notre Dame and studying film, he unexpectedly found himself drawn to acting. In 2016, Austin scored a major role in the film “I.T.,” where he starred alongside Pierce Brosnan. Subsequent acting gigs included roles in the film “Live By Night” and the television series “Still the King.” However, his last recorded acting role was in 2019’s “Braking for Whales.”
Despite a hiatus from acting, Austin Swift transitioned to behind-the-scenes roles and ventured into producing. He co-produced the film “We Summon the Darkness” in 2019. His involvement in the film industry continued as he took on production roles for projects related to his sister, Taylor Swift. In 2020, Austin contributed to the production of Taylor’s documentary for the album “Folklore” titled “Folklore: The Long Pond Studio Sessions.” Additionally, he played a role in producing the music video for Taylor’s song “I Bet You Think About Me” in 2021.
Austin expressed his excitement and pride for these projects, particularly celebrating the nomination of the “I Bet You Think About Me” music video for the Academy of Country Music Awards. Although the video did not win, Austin’s enthusiasm and dedication to the creative process highlight his passion for the entertainment industry. While he has not produced additional projects in recent years, his diverse contributions suggest that he may continue making an impact both in front of and behind the camera in the future.
