Taylor Swift recently had a special guest at her Mother’s Day Eras Tour concert in Paris, her mom Andrea Swift. Andrea was spotted at Paris La Défense Arena along with other guests, including Taylor’s boyfriend Travis Kelce and friends Gigi Hadid and Bradley Cooper. The concert marked the start of the European leg of the Eras Tour and was the first show after Taylor released The Tortured Poets Department. She dedicated a post on Instagram to the new Tortured Poets section of the tour and thanked everyone who made the memories magical, especially the fans in Paris.
During a performance in Philadelphia on Mother’s Day the previous year, Taylor honored her mom by first giving her a shout-out during the concert. She later surprised Andrea with a live rendition of “The Best Day” during the acoustic section of the show.

When Andrea heard the song for the first time, she didn’t realize that it was about their relationship, and Taylor had an emotional moment with her mom as she revealed the inspiration behind the track.
On her 2019 album Lover, Taylor released a song titled “Soon You’ll Get Better” that was dedicated to her mother’s battle with cancer. Andrea was first diagnosed in 2015 and again in 2019, and the song was a difficult one for Taylor to write and perform. During a YouTube livestream, Taylor explained that songs like this, which are emotionally challenging to create, are often the most truthful and raw. The decision to include the song on the album was a family decision, highlighting the emotional impact it had on both Taylor and her family.
