Photos of Taylor and her mother also circulated all over the internet as well as lyrics from her songs that fans felt were appropriate for the situation that they are facing now.

The title of the Tumblr post reads "Just So You Know..." addressed to her fans as she shared that her mother, Andrea Swift, was diagnosed with cancer recently. She noted in her post that she felt like it was important for her to tell her fans about it so they can do the same for their parents.

Taylor revealed in her post that she and her brother asked their mom to be scanned and screened fully for any health issues as it's what she wanted for their Christmas gift this year. Although her mother felt perfectly fine and there were no signs of her having any illness, the results came in and they found out that she has cancer.

Taylor noted in her post that she will not be giving specific details and asked for the fans to respect their privacy regarding this matter. Taylor also encouraged the Swifties to ask their parents to do the same in order to detect illnesses earlier so they won't have to suffer a much worse situation.

According to E! News, Taylor and her mother are very close as she once wrote a song for her called "The Best Day" that was about how her mom took care of her since she was a child. The song was released on Mother's Day year 2011.

Andrea and Taylor's father Scott Swift, are living in Nashville, Tennessee in a house that was bought by Taylor back in 2011, as reported by CNN.
