Taylor Swift wrote to her fans last night to reveal some sad news for her family.
Twenty-five-year-old Taylor Swift has taken to Tumblr to share news that her mother has been diagnosed with cancer.
Swift wrote a heartfelt letter to her fans, stating “she would want me to share this information with you.”
“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,” it read.
“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,” Swift wrote.
“The results came in, and I’m saddened to tell you that my mom has been diagnosed with cancer.”
Swift, 24, stated she wanted to keep the details of her mum’s cancer private, but urged her fans to encourage their parents to keep their health in check, despite other priorities and the busy lives they keep.

“She wanted you to know because your parents may be too busy juggling everything they’ve got going on to go to the doctor, and maybe you reminding them to go get checked for cancer could possibly lead to an early diagnosis and an easier battle,” Swift wrote.
Our thoughts are with the Swift family.
