Taylor Swift and her younger brother, Austin Swift, have a strong and supportive bond, although they don’t frequently post about each other on social media. Austin has shown his support for Taylor’s relationship with Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, attending games with her and even gifting Kelce a special present that the NFL star gushed over. While Austin hasn’t publicly commented on his sister’s romantic relationships, he has expressed pride and admiration for her artistry and music career.
Austin has shared sweet tributes to Taylor on social media over the years, celebrating her birthday and expressing admiration for her talent and dedication to her family and friends. He has publicly supported Taylor during some of her more controversial moments, such as the feud with Kanye West following the release of his song “Famous” in 2016. Austin took a stand by throwing away West’s Yeezy sneakers in a video posted on social media.
Fans have speculated about Austin’s involvement in Taylor’s music career, noting the release of a cover of her song “Look What You Made Me Do” under the name Jack Leopards & The Dolphin Club. The track listed Taylor’s pseudonym, Nils Sjöberg, as a producer, and the single art featured what appeared to be a childhood photo of Austin wearing a Dolphin Club T-shirt. While neither sibling has confirmed these theories, it adds a layer of intrigue to their relationship.
In 2022, Austin revealed that he had a hand in creating Taylor’s music video for “I Bet You Think About Me,” directed by Blake Lively. The video received an ACM award nomination for Video of the Year, and Austin expressed pride in being part of the team that brought the project to life. Additionally, Austin dressed up as Santa Claus at a Kansas City Chiefs game in 2023, earning respect from Travis Kelce for his full commitment to the role.
Austin also showed his supportive nature outside of family and professional ventures when he intervened to assist a fan at one of Taylor’s concerts in 2024. The fan, dressed as Kelce, was being removed by security when Austin stepped in, reminding them not to put their hands on people and praising the fan’s costume. His protective and caring actions exemplify the close bond shared between him and Taylor, as well as his commitment to supporting her fans and those around him.
