Taylor Swift’s mother gave an emotional speech as she presented her daughter with a prestigious award at the Academy of Country Music Awards.

Andrea Swift took to the stage at the Arlington, Texas, ceremony to honour her daughter, 25, with the Milestone Award.

“I’ve watched this milestone artist from the time she was a tangled-hair little girl growing up on our farm, full of imagination and creativity, until right now as she prepares for her next world tour,” she said.

“And ever since then, her favourite thing in the world to do is to write a song, tell a story, play guitar or piano, and I’ve seen those things carry her through every emotion, every experience in her life.

She concluded by thanking her daughter’s fans for loving her “as I love her”

“Like many of you out there tonight with children of your own, I am a very proud mum,” she said. “So I’d like to thank the ACMs for honoring my daughter in this way, but I’d also like to thank the entire music community for taking such good care of her. And to the fans, I know you love her as I love her, and for that, thank you.
