TAYLOR Swift broke down in tears after performing her new song You’ll Get Better Soon — which is about mom’s battle with cancer. 

The 30-year-old took center stage in the comfort of her own home to take part in the One World: Together At Home coronavirus concert last night.

The event was hosted by the iconic late-night show trio: Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel, and Stephen Colbert and they all agreed that pop star had “already contributed so much” to the current coronavirus pandemic.

Emotions ran high for Taylor as she started to sing the latest track from her new album Lover and held back the tears like a true performer.

The singer previously admitted she would struggle to sing the song live because of the meaning behind writing it.

She explained: “I don’t know if I’ll ever play it live. It’s just really difficult for me.

“It was hard to write. It’s hard to sing. It’s hard to listen to for me. But sometimes, music is like that. Sometimes it’s not just about stuff that was pleasant to feel.”

Behind closed doors the star has had to deal with her 62-year-old mom’s ongoing health battles.

Andrea was diagnosed with cancer in 2015 and four years later Taylor revealed in a personal essay for Elle that it had sadly returned.

Speaking about the hard times, she told Variety: “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.”

“And 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.”

Taylor also revealed that talking about her mom’s illness was very hard for her, as she added: “Everyone loves their mom; everyone’s got an important mom.

“But for me, she’s really the guiding force. Almost every decision I make, I talk to her about it first.

“So obviously it was a really big deal to ever speak about her illness.”

Last night Taylor was joined on stage (at home) by an amazing list of guests including: JLo, Celine, Lizzo, Billie Eilish, Alicia Keys, Andrea Bocelli, Camila Cabello, Shawn Mendes, John Legend, Ellie Goulding and many many more.

Connie Britton, David and Victoria Beckham, Ellen DeGeneres, Elton John, Jessie J, Lupito Nyong’o, Oprah Winfrey and a recovered Idris Elba also made an appearance on the special show to help raise money for key workers working in the pandemic.
