Things got emotional at the 2015 Academy of Country Music Awards on Sunday when Taylor Swift's mother, Andrea, presented her famous daughter with a Milestone Award.

"Ever since then, her favorite thing in the world to do has been to write a song, tell a story, play a guitar or piano. And I've seen those things carry her through every emotion, every experience in her life." (Video via Academy of Country Music / dick clark productions)
Crying like a baby yet? Don't worry, there's more.
"For many years, I was her constant companion. And I witnessed a young girl with very few friends become a young woman with many, learning to stand up for herself and the things she believes in." (Video via Academy of Country Music / dick clark productions)

We had all the feels watching the sweet introduction speech. Even Taylor herself got a little teary-eyed while sitting in the audience.
Momma Swift's heartfelt speech comes just a little more than a week after Taylor revealed her mother is battling cancer.
The singer wrote on her Tumblr page April 9, "For Christmas this year, I asked my mom that one of her gifts to me be her going to the doctor to get screened for any health issues... The results came in, and I'm saddened to tell you that my mom has been diagnosed with cancer."
Andrea's exact condition is still unknown. But one thing's for sure — she has the support of her incredible daughter and her entire fan base during this tough time. And that's definitely a milestone worth celebrating.
