Blink, and you'll miss it, but Taylor Swift's little brother has officially made his acting debut!

Austin Swift is big screen bound in I.T., a technological thriller starring a wealthy businessman (Pierce Brosnan) and an insane hacker (James Frecheville) on a mission to kill him and his family. Yahoo! Movies just premiered the action-packed trailer for the film, and if you pause right around the 1:30 mark, you'll get a very quick glimpse at Austin in action.

The 24-year-old Notre Dame graduate plays a supporting character named Lance in the film, and while we're not sure exactly what his role entails, we know Austin's big sis is stoked.

The 26-year-old singer Instagrammed a photo of her sibling on set this past September, gushing, "My brother @AustinKingsleySwift just acted in his first movie and I'm all proud and stuff."

Taylor is super close with her kid brother. He's accompanied her to several red carpet events—including the 2015 MTV VMAs and an after-party where he reminded her, 'We gee up on a FARM!!"

Austin even got a shoutout in "The Best Day," a song from Taylor's 2009 album Fearless. The track is largely a tribute to her mother, Andrea Swift, but includes heartfelt lyrics about her father, Scott Swift, and a verse for her brother too. As Taylor sings it, "God smiles on my little brother / Inside and out he's better than I am."

Taylor's "The Best Day" music video features home movie footage of her, Austin and their parents throughout the years.

Looks like there's room for two star siblings in the Swift family!

I.T. hits theaters this September.
