Former country music artist Taylor Swift‘s mother has been recently diagnosed with a brain tumor. As many fans know, Andrea Swift has been bravely fighting cancer on and off since she was first diagnosed with an undisclosed form of cancer in 2015. Swift dropped the sad news during her new interview with Variety while promoting her Netflix documentary, Taylor Swift: Miss Americana.
“I mean, we don’t know what is going to happen. We don’t know what treatment we’re going to choose. It just was the decision to make at the time, for right now, for what’s going on,” Swift shared with Variety about her choice to scale back her time on the road.
“Everyone loves their mom; everyone’s got an important mom,” Swift explains. “But for me, she’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.”
While Miss Americana was being filmed, Taylor Swift’s mother was getting chemo when the tumor was discovered, “While she was going through treatment, they found a brain tumor. And the symptoms of what a person goes through when they have a brain tumor is nothing like what we’ve ever been through with her cancer before. So it’s just been a really hard time for us as a family.”
Our hearts go out to Taylor Swift’s mother Andrea and the entire Swift family.
“Soon You’ll Get Better” Lyrics
The buttons of my coat were tangled in my hair
In doctor’s office lighting, I didn’t tell you I was scared
That was the first time we were there
Holy orange bottles, each night I pray to you
Desperate people find faith, so now I pray to Jesus too
And I say to you
Ooh-ah
Soon you’ll get better
Ooh-ah
Soon you’ll get better
Ooh-ah
You’ll get better soon
‘Cause you have to
I know delusion when I see it in the mirror
You like the nicer nurses, you make the best of a bad deal
I just pretend it isn’t real
I’ll paint the kitchen neon, I’ll brighten up the sky
I know I’ll never get it, there’s not a day that I won’t try
And I say to you
Ooh-ah
Soon you’ll get better
Ooh-ah
Soon you’ll get better
Ooh-ah
You’ll get better soon
‘Cause you have to
And I hate to make this all about me
But who am I supposed to talk to?
What am I supposed to do
If there’s no you?
This won’t go back to normal, if it ever was
And I keep saying it because
‘Cause I have to
Ooh-ah
You’ll get better
Ooh-ah
Soon you’ll get better
Ooh
You’ll get better soon
Ooh-ah
Soon you’ll get better
Ooh-ah
Soon you’ll get better
Ooh-ah
You’ll get better soon
‘Cause you have to
