She&#8217;s got an important battle to fight.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>In a reflective personal essay for\u00a0Elle\u00a0in 2019, Taylor revealed that\u00a0her mom&#8217;s cancer had returned. &#8220;It&#8217;s taught me that there are real problems and then there&#8217;s everything else. My mom&#8217;s cancer is a real problem. I used to be so anxious about daily ups and downs,&#8221; she said, adding that her priorities had since shifted. &#8220;I give all of my worry, stress and prayers to real problems now.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>In the same essay, Taylor shared that her dad Scott had also previously been diagnosed with cancer, though she didn&#8217;t share specific details about his health journey. &#8220;Both of my parents have had cancer,&#8221; she wrote in part, going on to expand on her mom&#8217;s condition without elaborating on her dad&#8217;s.<\/p>\n<p>While undergoing treatment for cancer, Andrea was\u00a0also diagnosed with a brain tumor, Taylor revealed in 2020 to\u00a0Variety.<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_65-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\">&#8220;Everyone loves their mom; everyone&#8217;s got an important mom,&#8221; Taylor told the outlet, going on to express how the news was impacting their family. &#8220;But for me, she&#8217;s really the guiding force. Almost every decision I make, I talk to her about it first. So obviously it was a really big deal to ever speak about her illness.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_67-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\">She added that it was &#8220;a really hard time&#8221; for her family, explaining that &#8220;the symptoms of what a person goes through when they have a brain tumor is nothing like what we&#8217;ve ever been through with her cancer before.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"mntl-sc-block_69-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block people-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-block-heading\"><span class=\"mntl-sc-block-heading__text\">Andrea introduced Taylor at the 2015 Academy of Country Music Awards<\/span><\/h2>\n<figure id=\"mntl-sc-block_70-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block people-sc-block-image mntl-sc-block-universal-image mntl-sc-block-image--no-theme no-theme mntl-sc-block-image figure-landscape figure-high-res\">\n<div class=\"figure-media\">\n<div class=\"img-placeholder\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"mntl-sc-block-image_6-0\" class=\"universal-image__image lazyloadwait lazyloaded\" src=\"https:\/\/people.com\/thmb\/ERkWJ1cee7pgdEXefMlsNiNN-9U=\/4000x0\/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():focal(999x0:1001x2):format(webp)\/taylor-swift-parents-6-a02ec2e2f8bf485c93830d69e23fdf28.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, 4000px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/people.com\/thmb\/ERkWJ1cee7pgdEXefMlsNiNN-9U=\/4000x0\/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():focal(999x0:1001x2):format(webp)\/taylor-swift-parents-6-a02ec2e2f8bf485c93830d69e23fdf28.jpg 4000w\" alt=\"Taylor Swift (L) accepts the Milestone Award from Andrea Swift onstage during the 50th Academy Of Country Music Awards at AT&amp;T Stadium on April 19, 2015 in Arlington, Texas\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1500\" data-src=\"https:\/\/people.com\/thmb\/ERkWJ1cee7pgdEXefMlsNiNN-9U=\/4000x0\/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():focal(999x0:1001x2):format(webp)\/taylor-swift-parents-6-a02ec2e2f8bf485c93830d69e23fdf28.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/people.com\/thmb\/ERkWJ1cee7pgdEXefMlsNiNN-9U=\/4000x0\/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():focal(999x0:1001x2):format(webp)\/taylor-swift-parents-6-a02ec2e2f8bf485c93830d69e23fdf28.jpg 4000w\" data-sizes=\"4000px\" data-expand=\"300\" data-tracking-container=\"true\" data-img-lightbox=\"true\" data-click-tracked=\"true\" \/><\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption id=\"mntl-figure-caption_6-0\" class=\"comp mntl-figure-caption type--mouse figure-article-caption\"><span class=\"figure-article-caption-owner\">Cooper Neill\/Getty<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_71-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\">Just over a week after her first cancer diagnosis was shared with fans,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/people.com\/country\/taylor-swift-singer-receives-milestone-award-at-the-acm-awards\/\" data-component=\"link\" data-source=\"inlineLink\" data-type=\"internalLink\" data-ordinal=\"1\">Andrea joined Taylor onstage<\/a>\u00a0at the ACM Awards, where the singer was being honored with the Milestone Award.
