Anyone who is a fan of Taylor Swift will be familiar with her parents Scott and Andrea, but the two have faced their own health battles in recent years
Taylor Swift’s parents have faced their own health battles over the years as their daughter’s success continues to soar.
Today (December 12), Disney Plus has dropped Taylor Swift’s brand new projects giving fans an insight into her Eras tour including behind the scenes access.
The End of an Era documentary will see two episodes being released weekly, with six in total, and will explore the development, impact, and inner-workings of the huge phenomenon that was the Eras Tour, which spanned from 2023 to 2024.
Disney Plus teases: “The End of an Era” is an illuminating docuseries on Disney+ that gives an intimate look at Taylor’s life as her tour made headlines and thrilled fans around the world.”
As well as the documentary, the Final Show concert film is also released which was captured during the star’s final show of the tour, which features for the first time, the entire set of The Tortured Poets Department album.
But away from her growing success, Taylor Swift has been quite open about her struggles over the years from her own mental health, to her parents’ health battles. Anyone that is a fan of Taylor, will also be familiar with her parents Scott and Andrea, who are often seen showing their support.
What some fans may not know is that both Scott and Andrea have battled cancer in their lives. Back in 2015, the singer told her fans her mum had an “important battle to fight” and so would be seen less frequently.
A few years later in 2019, Taylor wrote for Elle that she has “had to learn how to handle serious illness in my family.” She continued that both of her parents have had cancer, adding: “And my mom is now fighting her battle with it again.”
Back in 2020, the Brain Tumour Charity wrote: “Everyone whose life has been touched by a brain tumour diagnosis will know instinctively just how difficult this is for Taylor Swift and her family.”
Taylor and the family have remained relatively quiet regarding Andrea’s health but from her past album Lover, the 2019 song titled Soon You’ll Get Better reference her own pain. Fans remain positive though following appearances at concerts.
Taking to social media, one person said: “I think about this often. I hope she’s doing well.”
When it comes to Taylor’s dad Scott, he too has faced his own health battles. Just this year, Taylor revealed on the New Heights Podcast her dad had quintuple bypass surgery.
She said: “My dad had an interesting summer. He actually had a quintuple bypass surgery and that’s a really intense surgery. It all happened really quick.”
Despite perfect EKG results, the blockages were soon found during a resting stress test as Taylor opened up on the intense period, even helping to care for him.
