Taylor Swift’s brother Austin opens up about her rise to fame in a candid new interview...
Austin Swift is ready to break into acting, and luckily he’s learned a thing or two about hard work and rising to fame from his big sister, Taylor Swift.
Budding actor Austin has all the goods to make it in Hollywood--good looks, a famous last name, and a level-head. The latter, Austin explained to People magazine, came from watching his sister Taylor work her butt off in order to make her dreams come true, ever since she and Austin were just kids. He told the mag QUOTE, “When we were kids, I saw Taylor write songs every day for years when there was no one to play them to,” adding that when he was in middle school, he spent his spring break in Nashville QUOTE, "watching her go door-to-door dropping off demo CD's at labels that never called".
It’s hard to believe there was a time when Taylor Swift was actually having to hustle for her music career AND faced rejection, but the fact that she pushed through and endured just further proves that where there’s a will, there’s a way to become a global superstar.
As for Austin’s career, he’s got a supporting role in the new Pierce Brosnan thriller, “I.T.”, out in select theatres now. He plays the sort-of boyfriend to Pierce’s daughter in the film, and though his role is small, he made the most out of every moment he was on set, explaining QUOTE, “My role is not a big part by any means, but I saw it as an important one.” He also couldn’t pass up the opportunity to work with film icon and executive producer Pierce Brosnan, adding QUOTE, “It was good to know someone with real firepower was anchoring everything...I’d stick around set to watch Pierce do his scenes, and there was so much to learn.”
I gotta say, it’s really refreshing to hear Austin talk about Taylor from his perspective, because while she’s “Taylor Swift” to everyone on the planet, and everyone has an opinion about her, it’s easy to forget that at the end of the day she’s just a normal person with a younger brother who followed her dreams. And then acheived those dreams in a way that most people could never imagine. Annnd she still managed to not discourage her brother from entering the limelight in his own way and on his own terms, which is a pretty amazing little brother-big famous sister dynamic to have. And given how humble and enthusiastic Austin clearly is about his own work, we’re pretty sure we’re going to start seeing him on the big screen a lot more...
