Who better to introduce Taylor Swift for the Milestone Award at the 50th American Country Music Awards than her mother, Andrea Swift? In her first public appearance since her cancer diagnosis, Mama Swift talked about how she has helped, perhaps inadvertently, with Taylor’s creative process: “Like the time she was 17 years old and her dad and I strongly disapproved of a certain young man. And rightfully so.” She said that a little later, Taylor came out of her room with “Love Story.” Moms! They’re the best. Have you called your mom today?
