Taylor Swift and brother, Austin, requested their mom to get a physical check-up for a Christmas present during last year's holiday season. The singer and her sibling felt the need to have their mom checked up even though there were no symptoms felt in association with any health disorder. The results from that check-up, however, did not make the singer and her family happy.

On Thursday, Swift informed her fans on Tumblr that mom, Andrea Finlay, was diagnosed with cancer. #PrayforMamaSwift instantly became a trend on Twitter as soon as Swift made the sad announcement.

Country turned pop singer, Taylor Swift, had someone by her side as she faced challenges. Fellow musician and friend, Lady Gaga announced that she was praying for the health condition of Swift's mom, as reported in ET Online.

On Friday, Lady Gaga let the singer know right away that she was keeping Mama Swift in her thoughts and prayers. Gaga tweeted:

"God bless you and your mama and family, we'll all be praying."

Last month, Lady Gaga gave Swift advice to be hopeful in searching for love, as reported in The Huffington Post on March 4. The "Paparazzi" singer tweeted not too long ago that:

"wow you're a sweetheart! Life is friends, family, and love! We all see that in you, your prince charming will come!"

Swift has notably been famous for writing about her ex-boyfriends and love life in many of her songs. The 25-year old singer did reveal in an interview with The Telegraph that she saw herself being single still at the age of 30!

Just the other week, Swift celebrated Easter with her mother and brother by going egg hunting. NME.com revealed that Swift told fans online that she hoped they never get the same bad news for their loved ones' health. Additionally, the singer encouraged fans to remind their parents to get routine check-ups. The "Blank Space" singer, though, has chosen to keep the other details about her mom's diagnosis and treatment private.

Andrea has traveled with her famous singer daughter on tour. Swift documented her close relationship with her mother in her song, "Best Day." The song was included in the singer's 2008 "Fearless" album.

Swift is scheduled to embark on her "1989" world tour next month. Andrea may not be traveling with her daughter a lot as she used to. Swift's mom has a battle to conquer from this day forward.
