Taylor Swift Shares Video of Game of Thrones -Themed Easter Egg Battle with Brother Austin
Baby, let the games begin!
Taylor Swift was out for blood (or at the very least, a good-natured competition) on Sunday during a family gathering surrounding the Easter holiday, where she and brother Austin Swift faced off in an egg-breaking contest while other family members looked on.
Captioned “Pre Game of Thrones Easter Egg Battles,” the Instagram Story clip had the HBO series’ theme song playing in the background and showed big sister Swift, 29, strictly outlining the rules for Austin ahead of both their match and the second episode of GoT‘s eighth and final season.
“You can’t … You gotta stay … The rules are that you stay within … you can’t do that,” she said, attempting in vain to outline the fair play zone with her hands before abandoning the rules altogether and going for Austin’s egg after he lowered it to a more accessible level.
“This is not a way we play,” the “Delicate” singer told him. Then, she and Austin, 27, both went for it at the same time — and Austin was the victor, as his sister laughed and threw the broken remains of her egg at him.

Swift is a known GoT fan, and may have even written one of her more recent hits in honor of the show — specifically, about Arya Stark.
In a speculative piece, Entertainment Weekly humorously outlined all the reasons her lead single from Reputation, “Look What You Made Me Do,” could be about the younger Stark daughter who went on the run after the death of her father Ned in the show’s first season.

Swift continues to drop hints on social media about something potentially big on the horizon for fans. The latest is a countdown clock posted to her Instagram story at midnight Monday morning, teasing that there were three days, 23 hours and 59 minutes left until reveal day: this Friday, April 26.
On Sunday, she shared a photo of multicolored tiles to her Instagram feed and, previously, images of birds wearing sunglasses, a closeup of her brightly manicured hands, what appears to be bright pink tulle and more.
The mysterious social-media activity, which began at midnight on April 13 with an image of a jeweled heart, has stoked speculation that new music is coming shortly.
Game of Thrones season 8 airs Sundays at 9 p.m. EST on HBO.
