Taylor Swift isn’t only a hugely popular pop star and songwriter, she is also a big sister to her brother Austin Swift. To celebrate her birthday recently Austin took to Instagram to post an emotional message about his sister.

Telling Taylor Swift that she is his ‘best friend’ and ‘role model’, Austin went on to say, ‘You have pulled me out of fires and carried me up mountains. The gift of getting to witness you become the wonderful person you are today has been the greatest privilege and honor of my life. Happy 29th Birthday’. [sic]

Along with the emotional message, Austin posted a throwback photo of the pair when they were much younger, and despite the bad quality of the photo, a young Taylor can be seen wearing a turquoise top, with her hand around her brother. Super cute!

In response to Austin's post, fans have been commenting about how emotional it is saying, 'Austin your post needs a warning label. I’m all out of tissues dude come on!!', and 'Awwww i adore you both'. [sic]

One fan even said, 'You are like the best human being. Every member of this family is perfect I swear.'
