Taylor Swift’s wedding attention was reportedly overwhelming for one of her family members. According to a source, the singer’s brother, Austin Swift, seemed not to be enjoying the spotlight. He became the center of attention after reports surfaced that he was his sister’s Man of Honor. While he stood by her side because of their bond, Austin didn’t reportedly like being in the news. For those unversed, Swift married Travis Kelce on July 3 at New York City’s Madison Square Garden.
Austin Swift is not enjoying the post-wedding attention
Taylor Swift’s wedding seemingly made her brother, Austin Swift, a “breakout star,” according to Rob Shuter’s Naughty But Nice. A source told the outlet that the 34-year-old didn’t like the public attention as it made him “deeply uncomfortable.” “He agreed to be Taylor’s Man of Honor because she’s his sister—not because he wanted to become a celebrity. The attention has been overwhelming.”
Furthermore, it was reported that his friends suggested that Austin has always been the “behind-the-scenes” guy. He would support and cheer on his global-sensation sister from afar. Reportedly, he has been helping Taylor with her business empire, but has avoided any public interaction.
Meanwhile, an insider claimed that Austin always made sure that the “spotlight stayed on” his sibling. “Now people are dissecting everything—from his dating life to what he wore at the wedding. It’s the exact opposite of the life he’s chosen,” they added.
However, Taylor is said to be protective of her brother. She reportedly understands how uncomfortable Austin must be with all the attention. Moreover, the “Life of a Showgirl” hitmaker seemed to be aware of her brother’s personality, which is said to be “incredibly private.”
“If anything, this experience has reminded Austin why he’s always preferred life behind the scenes. That’s where he’s happiest—and that’s exactly where he intends to stay,” a source concluded.
