Popular singer-songwriter Taylor Swift, 34, and mom Andrea Swift, 66, were at the center of a viral social media video as she joyously watched her daughter on the red carpet. The clip has added meaning because the two-time breast cancer survivor greatly influences her famous daughter.

Andrea was diagnosed with cancer in 2015 and again in 2019. In 2020, she also dealt with a brain tumor that was discovered amid chemotherapy treatments.

Taylor dedicated several songs to her mom following her cancer diagnosis. A diagnosis of cancer or disease can impact family members almost as much as the patient. Feelings of “helplessness, guilt, anger, and embarrassment” are commonly experienced, according to researchers.

Loved ones of people battling a disease or cancer can show their support by getting involved and showing that you care, which can relieve added stress and anxiety. Helping with everyday tasks such as household chores or meal preparation is a great way to show support.
