In a recent interview with Variety, the singer revealed that while her mother was undergoing treatment for breast cancer, doctors also discovered a brain tumor.
A few years ago, Taylor had disclosed her mother’s breast cancer diagnosis and treatment. Now, the discovery of a brain tumor has led to Swift scaling back her tour for her latest album, “Lover”.

During the Variety interview, Swift mentioned that while shooting a documentary about her life, “Miss Americana,” her mother’s cancer situation worsened and the brain tumor was found.

Swift expressed, “While she was going through treatment, they found a brain tumor. And the symptoms of what a person goes through when they have a brain tumor is nothing like what we’ve ever been through with her cancer before. So it’s just been a really hard time for us as a family.”

Swift mentioned her decision to limit her tour so she can support her mother, scheduling stadium dates in the U.S. and European festivals, such as Glastonbury.

Adding, “But I also wanted to be able to work as much as I can handle right now, with everything that’s going on at home. And I wanted to figure out a way that I could do both those things.”
