Austin Swift Shares What He Has Learned from Big Sis Taylor

Austin Swift has opened up about the ups and downs of his sister Taylor‘s career and what he has taken from all of it.

The 24-year-old actor, who recently graduated from Notre Dame, would love to put his film education to use as an actor in Hollywood.

He admits that Taylor‘s level headedness over the years has helped him realize the importance of staying grounded.

“When we were kids, I saw Taylor write songs every day for years when there was no one to play them to,” Austin told People.

Austin went on to reveal that when he was in middle school, the siblings spent their spring break in Nashville, where he remembers “watching her go door-to-door dropping off demo CD’s at labels that never called.”

“[I] was there when she was performing at karaoke contests and in the corners of parties with the same enthusiasm she now plays to stadiums full of her fans,” he added. “Having seen that example, how much goes in, how long it took … That’s always going to be bedrock for who I am and who I want to be.”

Austin also opened up about their mother Andrea‘s cancer diagnosis.

“An ocean of people rose up around me to offer support and open up about their own experiences,” he shared. “People were there for me and it transformed what could have been a very lonely, impossible time. I’ll never forget that.”
