Taylor Swift has shared a lot of joyful moments with her parents — growing up on a Christmas tree farm and that emotional introduction by Andrea Swift at the 2015 ACM Awards! — but they’ve had hard times, too. In 2015, Taylor shared the news that Andrea had been diagnosed with cancer on Tumblr. “She wanted you to know why she may not be at as many shows this tour. She’s got an important battle to fight,” the hitmaker posted. In 2019, she penned a personal essay in Elle, reflecting on how her mom’s health battle had given her a new perspective. “It taught me that there are real problems and then there’s everything else. My mom’s cancer is a real problem. I used to be so anxious about daily ups and downs. I give all of my worry, stress, and prayers to real problems now,” Taylor wrote.
When Andrea was diagnosed with a brain tumor in 2020, Taylor publicly shared how Andrea’s health was impacting the family. “Everyone loves their mom; everyone’s got an important mom,” she told Variety. “But for me, she’s really the guiding force.”
All the tough times have bonded the Swift clan, and Andrea and Scott Swift continue to be Taylor’s ride-or-die. For example, when Scott joined his daughter on her “Eras” Tour in 2023, she shared a photo of his all-access pass to her Instagram Stories, calling him “D.O.H” (Dad of Headliner).
