Big brothers love to tease their younger siblings, and this viral video perfectly captures one boy’s playful antics.
When an 11-year-old noticed his little sister dancing to Taylor Swift’s hit song “I Knew You Were Trouble,” he saw the perfect chance to have some funFortunately for us, the hilarious moment was caught on camera and has since racked up over 21 million views!
The video centers around a six-year-old girl who had reached that age where playing with dolls was out, and performing to her favorite songs was in.
Like a true “Swiftie,” she knew all the lyrics to “I Knew You Were Trouble” and even came up with her own dance moves.
So, she decided to film her very own music video in her bedroom, blissfully unaware that her older brother was about to steal the show.
As anyone with siblings knows, older brothers can turn even the most innocent moment into a chance for some lighthearted teasing.
When the boy saw his sister in full performance mode, dancing in her Minions shirt, he couldn’t resist joining in – but not in the way she expected.
Instead of teasing her outright, the boy quietly crept into the background and started mimicking her moves.

The irony wasn’t lost on viewers as Taylor Swift sang, “’Cause I knew you were trouble when you walked in,” a line that seemed to perfectly fit the moment her brother appeared in the frame.
At first, he strikes a thoughtful pose behind her, clearly plotting his next move.

Then, he starts with classic bunny ears over her head, followed by exaggerated octopus-like arms and a playful marshmallow man impression.
All the while, his sister remains oblivious, fully immersed in her song and dance routine.
She mouths the words and gives it her all, unaware of the hilarious antics happening just behind her.
Taylor Swift’s music is everywhere, so it’s no surprise that the older brother also knew the words to “I Knew You Were Trouble.”
He even lip-syncs along in the background, adding another layer of humor to the video.
At one point, though, his attention drifts to a nearby dollhouse, and he finds himself momentarily distracted by a small green ball inside his sister’s jewelry box.
But his focus quickly returns, and the siblings perform a “duet” during the “Trouble, trouble, trouble” part of the song.
It’s all fun and games until the boy makes one mistake: he accidentally lets his voice slip out.
In an instant, his sister realizes what’s been happening behind her, and she’s not happy about it!
With a startled scream, she chases her brother out of the room, embarrassed by his surprise cameo in her video.
In future performances, she might want to remember to lock her door first!
