Taylor Swift shared some sad news with her fans on Tumblr today, revealing that her mother Andrea has been diagnosed with cancer.

“She wants you to know because your parents may be too busy juggling everything they’ve got going on to go to the doctor,” Swift wrote. “Maybe you reminding them to go get checked for cancer could possibly lead to an early diagnosis and an easier battle…or peace of mind in knowing that they’re healthy.” Swift added that she’s choosing to “keep the details of her condition and treatment plans private” and that Andrea, who is usually visible at most of  Taylor’s shows, “may not be at as many shows this tour.”

Our thoughts and prayers are with Taylor and her mom, and everyone fighting a tough battle against this despicable disease. (Photo: Wikipedia.org)
