Some of Taylor Swift‘s fans are only just learning that her younger brother is also famous.

Until now, many Swifties were under the impression they knew everything about the singer.

So, after discovering that her sibling is also a famous star, people have reacted on social media.

One fan asked: “Why do we never hear about him!”

Another person questioned: “She has a brother?!”

“I didn’t know she had a brother,” somebody else said.

Swift is one of the world’s best-selling music artists of all time and has been listed as among history’s greatest artists by publications such as Rolling Stones, Billboard, and Forbes.

The ‘I Knew You Were Trouble’ singer’s recent Eras Tour has been the highest grossing of all time, surpassing $1 billion in revenue.

Despite Swift’s success and fame, the artist’s family remains close-knit.

Since the beginning of the ‘Cruel Summer’ singer’s career, her loved ones have been incredibly supportive.

Her parents, Scott and Andrea, listened to her sing karaoke and drove to her local gigs in their hometown of Wyomissing, Pennsylvania.

Swift didn’t just receive support from her parents but her brother also.

In an interview with Vanity Fair, he said: “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.”

The supportive sibling duo often take to Instagram to praise each other’s achievements.

On the singer’s 29th birthday, her brother penned: “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.”

Like Swift, her brother has a strong work ethic – you may recognize him from his content on the big screen.

Austin Swift graduated from the University of Notre Dame in 2015, studying film and acting.

He told People magazine: “I’m pretty reserved in most circumstances, so [acting] never seemed like it would be a good fit.

“But I kind of got thrust into it and realized that it could be an opportunity to be creative.”

After graduating, Austin began interning at Lionsgate where he would make and send out DVD screeners.

His film, the psychological thriller I.T., debuted in 2016, and stars Pierce Brosnan, Michael Nyqvist, and Karen Moskow.

Austin has also worked alongside his sister, appearing and producing in several of her music videos, while also managing elements of her music licensing for the multimedia.
