Andrea and Scott Swift are proud parents.
During Taylor Swift’s Dec. 6 Eras Tour show in Vancouver, her parents shared an emotional moment in the audience as they watched her perform a mashup of Speak Now’s “Never Grow Up” and her Fearless track “The Best Day.”
In a video captured by a fan and posted to MuchMusic, Andrea, 66, seemingly wiped away tears as she watched her daughter perform onstage. Then, as the star transitioned into her Fearless track, which Taylor, 34, wrote as a tribute to her mom, Andrea turned to face Scott, 72, and they shared a long embrace.
Taylor’s brother Austin, 32, then came in and joined the hug, wrapping his arms around Scott.
At the Dec. 6 show, the “Karma” singer also performed a mashup of Speak Now’s “Haunted” and 1989’s “Wonderland” during the surprise song section.
In May, Taylor played “The Best Day” during her Mother’s Day performance and introduced it by recalling the first time she ever showed it to Andrea.
“I wrote this song just compiling these sort of core childhood memories I had, of not just her as a mother, but her as a friend,” Taylor said, before detailing her mom’s reaction.
“She said, ‘It’s such a beautiful song. Where did you find it? It sounds exactly like the things we went through,’ ” Taylor explained. “I was like, ‘Mom, I wrote it and recorded it secretly, it is our memories.’ It was the sweetest thing ever because I just think she couldn’t have comprehended that I would write a song about the two of us.'”
Once Andrea realized it was a tribute to her, Taylor said she immediately broke down in tears.
