Taylor Swift Reveals Her Mom's Cancer Has Returned

Taylor Swift is on the cover of Elle magazine’s April issue and instead of giving a traditional interview, she wrote a list of the “30 Things I Learned Before Turning 30.”

One of those things on the list was, “I’ve had to learn how to handle serious illness in my family.”

Taylor then unfortunately revealed that her mom Andrea Swift‘s cancer has returned after she initially battled it back in 2015. Taylor also revealed her dad has battled cancer in the past.

“Both of my parents have had cancer, and my mom is now fighting her battle with it again,” Taylor wrote in her piece for Elle. “It’s taught me that there are real problems and then there’s everything else. My mom’s cancer is a real problem. I used to be so anxious about daily ups and downs. I give all of my worry, stress, and prayers to real problems now.”
