See Taylor Swift's proud mum give an emotional speech as she hands over CMA gong to her famous daughter

Her mother Andrea, who has been diagnosed with cancer, took to the stage to present the prize and praise her 25-year-old daughter, saying: “Her favourite thing to do is to write a song, tell a story, play guitar, or piano and I’ve seen those things carry her through every emotion, every experience in her life, good or bad…”

“For many years I was her constant companion. I witnessed a girl with very few friends become a young woman with many, learning to stand up for the things she believes in. Being brave enough to explore her musical curiosity, having a voice against those who hate and giving herself to those in need.”

Andrea fought back tears as she added: “I am a very proud mum… I thank the entire music community for taking such good care of her. And to the fans, I know you love her as I love her. And for that, I thank you eternally.”

Taylor, whose dad Scott was also in the audience, gave her mother a big hug as she accepted her award.

She also thanked her fans for supporting her from her country music roots and her transition to pop.

The Love Story star revealed her mother’s diagnosis with cancer on April 9, with a Tmblr post.
