Taylor Swift may be one of the biggest names in the music industry right now, but there are still times when she needs her mum.
This is just one thing laid bare in the new Netflix documentary Miss Americana, which has provided plenty of insights into the singer’s private life and highlighted some of her most important relationships.
There’s a fleeting glimpse of Taylor with actor boyfriend Joe Alwyn (28), a scene with Abigail Lucier (29), her best friend from before she became famous, and even extensive footage of her working with Kiwi producer Joel Little (36), who co-wrote recent hits such as Me! and You Need to Calm Down.
But the behind-the-scenes doco makes it clear that the person who looms largest in her life, who is her best friend, sounding board, cheerleader and rock, is her mum, Andrea.
The strength of their bond is responsible for some of the most poignant moments of the movie, including when Andrea (62) comforts Taylor following an emotional performance during which the Grammy winner talks to the audience about the 2017 sexual assault case she took against a man who she said groped her.
Sadly, just days before the documentary came out, Taylor (30) revealed that while Andrea was undergoing treatment for breast cancer last year, doctors discovered she also has a brain tumour.
“What a person goes through when they have a brain tumour is nothing like what we’ve ever been through with her cancer before. So it has been a really hard time for us as a family,” the singer shared.
Because of Andrea’s illness, Taylor decided not to embark on an extensive tour to promote her latest album, Lover.
