Taylor Swift's father undergoes quintuple bypass after routine check-up flags concerns
However, he did not suffer a heart attack or any other related problem.
Reportedly, the Cruel Summer singer's father had the surgery after a routine checkup. It is his doctor who noticed some issues during one of his routine checkups.
As a result, the surgery was scheduled to remove some blockages from his arteries, reportedly.
'His surgery was a complex one ... quintuple bypass is a procedure used to treat patients who have blockages in the major arteries that feed the heart -- blood vessels are taken from another part of the body and transplanted to affected heart vessels to reroute blood flow and bypass the blockages,' read the report as the singer's rep confirmed the development.
Reportedly, Taylor Swift was at the hospital during her father's surgery. She stayed by his side throughout his recovery process as well.
Not just Taylor, her brother Austin and her mother Andrea were also with Scott during his health scare.
The report also shared Scott's health update, confirming that he is doing better than ever. In fact, the report quoted that Scott is feeling "fantastic" as he continues to recover even now.
The surgery Taylor Swift's father underwent is reportedly the kind of coronary artery bypass procedure, which, as per Mayo Clinic, "creates a new path for blood to go around a blocked or partially blocked artery in the heart."
Taylor shares a close bond with her parents.
Both of her parents were spotted attending her concerts during her hit Eras Tour. They also attended the Kansas City Chiefs football games after she began dating the team's Travis Kelce.
Meanwhile, both of Taylor Swift's parents have had health issues in the past.
The singer had revealed previously in a 2019 essay for Elle that both of her parents, mom Andrea and dad Scott, had cancer before.

Nick Jonas Shares How He Discovered His Type 1 Diabetes During Jonas Brothers Tour
Last Updated: While reminiscing about the early days of their career, they recalled that Nick's health began to deteriorate during their Jonas Brothers School Tour in 2006. Nick Jonas, the youngest one from The Jonas Brothers, revealed that he was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes during his early teenage years. The jealous crooner opened up about his struggles with diabetes and revealed that it was his older brother Joe who made the call that finally helped him get diagnosed. Nick Jonas Did Not Realise He Had Diabetes On July 24, The Jonas Brothers, consisting of Nick, Joe, and Kevin, appeared on Penn Badgley's podcast Podcrushed, where the three brothers were seen looking back on their rise to stardom. While reminiscing about the early days of their career, they recalled that Nick's health began to deteriorate during their Jonas Brothers School Tour in 2006. 'I started losing a ton of weight and, you know, drinking a ton of water and using the bathroom all the time—all the signs that I now know are symptoms of type 1 diabetes," Nick revealed, explaining that he had no idea and just knew that he was not feeling well. 'It's actually a testament to the lack of information and awareness there was around type 1 at this time," he added. According to the Mayo Clinic, signs of type 1 diabetes in children tend to develop quickly, and the most common symptoms include weight loss, thirst, fatigue, and frequent urination—all the signs that Nick showed at the age of 13. Joe Jonas Helped Nick Gets Diagnosed Nick remembered a time when he and his brother Joe visited a place in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, when Joe first realised there was something wrong with Nick. 'We went to the pool one day, and he saw my back and called my parents and said, 'You know, something's really wrong. You have to get down here," Nick recalled. 'Because you're so skinny?" Penn asked, to which Joe replied, 'So skinny," and Kevin added, 'You could see every bone." Nick then went on to explain that the normal glucose level for teenagers who do not have type 1 diabetes should be between 70 and 120. 'Mine was like north of 900, which is very high," he said. Later, the singer revealed that after spending a few days at the hospital, he was fit to perform again. 'Back on stage, you know, within a week of being diagnosed," Nick added. Nick Jonas Has Been Living With the Disease for 20 Years Recalling his journey with diabetes, Nick stated, 'I'm coming up on my twentieth year living with the disease, which coincides with the twentieth year of the band, coincidentally,' adding that when it comes to diabetes management, he only trusts the Dexcom G7 glucose monitor, a brand he has promoted.

Why Cardiac Arrest Cases Are Rising Among Bodybuilders?
Hulk Hogan's death at 71 (Image Source: Getty) As bodybuilders and wrestlers train very hard and live lifestyles that are hard on the heart, the risk of a heart attack is a growing threat for them. The wrestling world was shocked to learn that Hulk Hogan died of a heart attack on July 24, 2025. Only a few years earlier, Danny Havoc, Bray Wyatt, and John Klinger similarly died young of complications from heart problems. The specific area of health risk is one that we certainly need to look into, especially given the presented examples above. WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan's sudden death at 71 Hulk Hogan, born Terry Gene Bollea, passed away at his Florida home on July 24, 2025, after a heart attack, as confirmed by WWE and reported by TMZ. The 6'7' wrestling legend, famous for his 'Hulkamania' catchphrase and blond mustache, made wrestling a global hit in the 1980s. Hogan faced many health challenges, including 25 surgeries over a decade, like a neck surgery in May 2025, as shared on the IMPAULSIVE podcast. His past use of steroids, common in wrestling's early days, likely harmed his heart, as steroids can thicken heart muscles, per a July 24, 2025, HuffPost article. Tributes from Donald Trump Jr. and JD Vance on X showed Hogan's huge influence. His death has sparked talks about the dangers of bodybuilding and wrestling, pushing for better heart health checks and safer practices to protect athletes from such tragic outcomes. Also Read: "TYVE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan dies at 71 after reported cardiac arrest; Trump Jr, JD Vance remember 'American Icon' Young wrestlers lost to heart problems The deaths of Danny Havoc, Bray Wyatt, and John Klinger from heart issues show the serious risks wrestlers face. Danny Havoc, aged 34, died of heart failure in 2020 in New Jersey, soon after his wife's death from the exact cause, likely due to the intense physical toll of hardcore wrestling. Bray Wyatt, only 36, suffered a heart attack in 2023 in Florida, worsened by a COVID-19 infection that damaged his heart, as Triple H shared on X. John Klinger, known as Bad Bones, died at 40 in 2024 from a heart attack after a brutal career wrestling in Europe and Japan. An article in NBC News on July 24, 2025, discusses how arduous training regimens, poor nutrition, and steroids can generate heart problems such as an irregular heartbeat or heart failure. The deaths of these young wrestlers reflect the need for better health monitoring, nutrition, and avoidance of drugs to prevent heart attacks in bodybuilding and wrestling, calling out this industry to be wary of the health of their athletes.

What is frontotemporal dementia that Bruce Willis is suffering from? Symptoms, treatment and more
Hollywood star Bruce Willis, who was diagnosed with dementia in 2022, is receiving widespread attention from the netizens again after a picture of his fragile health status went viral. Bruce, 70, has become non-verbal and is reportedly experiencing motor difficulties, though no specific details about his mobility have been confirmed by his family in recent months. It comes after his daughter, Tallulah Willis, defended the decision to post controversial photos of her father, reported Daily Express US. In 2023, the actor's wife Emma, ex-wife and actress Demi Moore and his five daughters revealed in a statement that the actor has been diagnosed with a condition called frontotemporal dementia. Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) includes a group of brain disorders that affect the frontal and temporal lobes of the brain. These areas of the brain are associated with personality, behaviour and language. Although the symptoms primarily depend on which part of the brain is affected, some people face major changes in their personalities and even become socially inappropriate by exhibiting impulsive or emotionally indifferent behaviour. Others may also lose the ability to use language properly, according to Mayo Clinic. As per the latest medical reports, there are no treatments available for FTD to cure or slow its progression. However, several healthcare professionals prescribe medicine to treat the symptoms, according to Mayo Clinic. Some antidepressants could help with behavioural symptoms such as anxietycontrol and obsessive-compulsive behaviour, whereas some antipsychotic medicines also aid in reducing the irrational nature. But these medicines must be used with caution in people with dementia. They can have serious side effects, including an increased risk of death. A patient must also seek help from pathologists and occupational therapists who help with the adjustment of speech. Walter Bruce Willis, commonly known as Bruce Willis, is a retired American actor. He is widely known for his performances in over one hundred Hollywood movies. He achieved fame after playing the lead role in the comedy-drama series Moonlighting. He later went on to gain recognition as an action hero for his portrayal of John McClane in the Die Hard franchise, released in 1988. He was married to Hollywood actor Demi Moore, who is famous for playing the lead role in the psychological thriller Substance. They got divorced, and he later married a Model, Emma Heming Willis.
