Taylor Swift's Brother Is the Cutest Graduate of 2015

Updated on May 31, 2015 at 7:00 AM

Sorry, Taylor Swift — we don't mean to make things awkward, but we have to say it: your brother is hot. Yes, it's time to shine the spotlight on Austin Swift, the handsome sibling who seems more than comfortable having a superstar sister. Born a little over two years after Taylor in 1992, Austin is arguably one of the luckiest celebrity siblings in the world. As you might expect, being related to the singer comes with big perks, like mingling with stars after the Billboard Music Awards, competing in hilarious Easter egg hunts, and having the honor of transporting Taylor's famous cat Olivia.

But there's more to Austin than his sister's life. On May 17, Austin graduated from University of Notre Dame, where he reportedly majored in film, TV, and theatre. Taylor made commencement day all about him, traveling to South Bend, IN, with her family and capturing a seriously cute Instagram video from the audience. As Austin embarks on his next chapter as a college graduate, join us for a look back at the most memorable times he put his hotness into action.

Taylor Swift's Brother Is the Cutest Graduate of 2015

When he buddied up with Taylor's boyfriend, Calvin Harris.

When he gently held a cute kitty.

When he was all like, "Settle down, Taylor."

When he carried Taylor's cat bag for her.

When he proved Taylor's surprise face runs in the family.

When he showed off his pearly whites.

When he took center stage in a play.

When he and Taylor made their parents proud.

When he had this devilish look.

When he snuggled up to man's best friend.

When he chilled with his buds.

When his suit outshined Taylor's dress.

When he was probably like, "NYC is so beautiful, Taylor."

When he dropped this casual smirk.

When he braved a confetti downpour.

And then smiled like this.

When he had a good laugh.

When he had sexy scruff and a cute beanie.

When he was the star next to Taylor, Jaden Smith, and Selena Gomez.

When he couldn't help but dance along.

When he looked more dapper than James Bond.
