With so many amazing blessings in her life, Taylor Swift has hit a rough patch- her mother Andrea has been diagnosed with cancer. The “Shake It Off” songstress took to her Tumblr site on
Thursday (April 9) to let her fans know the difficult news in hopes that
others would take their health more seriously.
Taylor wrote, “Hey guys, I’m writing to you with an update I
wish I wasn’t giving you, but it’s important and I’m used to sharing
important events in my life with you. 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.”
“For Christmas this year, I asked my mom that one of her
gifts to me be her going to the doctor to get screened for any health
issues, just to ease some worries of mine. She agreed, and went in to
get checked. There were no red flags and she felt perfectly fine, but
she did it just to get me and my brother off her case about it. The
results came in, and I’m saddened to tell you that my mom has been
diagnosed with cancer. I’d like to keep the details of her condition and
treatment plans private, but she wanted you to know.”
