Speaking to Variety about how her family have been coping, she revealed: “She was going through chemo, and that’s a hard enough thing for a person to go through. While she was going through treatment, they found a brain tumor.”

Keeping her mother’s health battle private until now, Taylor, who was promoting her upcoming documentary Miss Americana, explained how “hard” it has been for them as a family.

She added: “[Cancer] is a hard enough thing for a person to go through… 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.”
