Staff Writer Most people know Taylor Swift for writing songs about her ex-boyfriends and how they broke her heart. But now, Swifts mother, Andrea Swift, was diagnosed with cancer. Will she write a song about her new heartbreak? Last Thursday, Swift posted a letter to her fans informing us about news she hoped she would never have to share. “For christmas this year, I asked my mom that one of her gifts to me, was her going to the doctor to get screened for any health issues [...] The results came in, and I’m saddened to tell you that my mom has been diagnosed with cancer,” the Grammy award winner writes. This news came in right around the time when Swift was about to go on tour and wouldn’t be home with her mother. On April 9th, 2015, Andrea was officially diagnosed. But the ‘style’ singer says that she wants to keep her mothers severity and treatment plan private for now.“Usually when things happen to me, I process them and then write music about how I feel, and you hear it much later. This is something my family and I thought you should know about now,” Swift writes. The two Swifts wanted to tell their 70 million fans to encourage their ‘busy’ parents to go into a health screening so no one gets news like this. After Swift posted the news, Lady Gaga tweeted that the Swifts would be in her thoughts. “God bless you and your mama and family, we'll all be praying @taylorswift13” Not long after, the new hashtag went viral, #prayformamaswift. Although the Swifts are going through hard times, it may put a smile on their faces to know that lots of loving fans are thinking of them. Even though the Swifts are strong, this battle will require lot of #prayformamaswift. Comments are closed.
