Taylor Swift recalls dad's joke after he underwent quintuple bypass surgery: ‘…I come from a very competitive family'
On the podcast, the 35year-old-singer, admitted it was 'a really intense surgery' and that it happened fast. 'We've gotta do this tomorrow. We don't know how you walked in here, dude. This is crazy,' she recalled the doctors telling her 73-year-old father.
Scott's condition, Taylor revealed, was discovered during a resting stress test — not his usual check-up. 'He's had a healthy, perfect EKG every year that he's gone in to get his physicals. But what found his five hard blockages in his heart was a resting stress test. He's been telling all his friends, 'You need to get the stress test,' because that's what's actually preventative. If you can find that earlier, you don't have to have a bypass surgery," she said.
Despite the circumstances, Taylor said her father handled recovery with humour. 'He was the funniest he's ever been—and he's usually really funny.I was like, 'Dad, you had a quintuple bypass. You had five. That's crazy. It's more than we thought.' And he's like, 'Well, you see, I come from a very competitive family',' she laughed.
She also revealed her mother, Andrea Swift, recently underwent her own procedure. 'My mom just got a new knee. She's doing great. She's scampering around. We're not quite at scampering yet, but she's doing great,' she said.
Looking back on the summer spent helping her parents heal, Taylor said the time together was irreplaceable. 'They're two of my best friends and I just adore them. It was actually one of the most special things that's ever happened to me, spending all that time with them this summer. You have those long talks that you don't have when it's a small, concentrated period of time.'

Taylor Swift Spills The Beans On Her Possible Super Bowl Debut. Fans, Listening?
Taylor Swift hints at a possible 2026 Super Bowl debut on the Kelce brothers' podcast, linking her sourdough obsession to the 60th Super Bowl at Levi's Stadium. Taylor Swift has a lot of surprises lined up for her fans – first her 12th studio album, The Life of a Showgirl, announcement, and now her possible Super Bowl debut. During her appearance on the Kelce brothers' New Heights podcast, Taylor Swift dropped multiple easter eggs that led fans to guess whether the pop icon will make her Super Bowl debut in 2026. During the podcast, Taylor was seen talking about her obsession with sourdough bread, and curious fans have found a connection between the 60th Super Bowl performance and her sourdough obsession. What is the Sourdough Connection? During the podcast, the All Too Well singer was seen going on and on about her sourdough obsession. 'The sourdough's taken over my life in a huge way. 'I'm literally talking about bread 60 percent of the time now," Taylor stated. While new fans might have let that slide as a casual remark, Swifties found a possible connection. Super Bowl 2026 will be taking place at Levi's Stadium, the home ground of the San Francisco 49ers, and interestingly, their mascot goes by the name Sourdough Sam. Hence, Swifties think all the bread talk could actually be pointing towards a possible Super Bowl debut for the Love Story singer. Coming Back To Numbers Taylor Swift is obsessed with numbers. The singer mentioned that she talks about bread 60 per cent of the time, and guess what else is turning 60 next year? The Super Bowl! She was also seen mentioning the number 47 after Jason Kelce's introduction at the beginning of the show. Taylor thanked Jason, saying, 'Thank you for screaming for, like, 47 seconds for me. That was so nice." But why 47? Believe it or not, Taylor's 47th stop in the Eras Tour was at the Levi's Stadium, where the 60th Super Bowl is going to take place. Fans have also pointed out that this year marks Travis Kelce's 13th year in the NFL, a number which happens to be Taylor's favourite number. 4+9 = 13 – The San Francisco 49ers are hosting the 60th Super Bowl. 47+13 = 60 – Taylor, in fact, mentioned the number 47 for a second time in the episode while humorously exaggerating that the Eras Tour spanned 47,000 countries. If this calculation seems too far-fetched, Taylor has previously also mentioned that she would only consider performing at the halftime show once she owns all her masters, and now that she does, there is a huge chance for her Super Bowl debut, especially when the game takes place only a few months after Life of a Showgirl drops.

After winning over the internet with her candid interviews and revelations, Sunita has now launched her own Youtube channel and entered the digital space. She will be seen vlogging and has dropped her first video with the caption, "Ab main bhi paise chaapungi. (I will also earn money now)." In this video, the actress spoke about her love for Goddess Mahakali and Mahalakshmi and got emotional talking about the struggles in her personal life and cryptically also her marriage. For those not in the know, Sunita and Govinda Ahuja were surrounded by rumours of divorce and had even applied for it in court. However, she later dismissed those rumours saying nobody can ever come in between them. Now in her vlog, she took the viewers through her journey from Mumbai to Chandigarh as she visited Maa Mahakali and Kal Bhairav temples. Sunita rode pillion on a motorcycle to reach the Maa Mahakali temple. There, when asked why she prays to the goddess, she broke down in tears and spoke to Pandit ji at the temple.

Par main maata pe itna vishwas karti hu ke aaj main agar kuch dekh bhi rahu hu, ke main jaanti hu joh mera ghar todne ki koshish karega usko toh woh baithi hai maa kaali. Ek acche insaan ko aur ek acchi aurat ko dukh dena acchi baat nahi hai. Main teenon maata ko itna prem karti hu. Joh bhi paristhithi hai ur joh ghar parivaar todne ki koshish karega, usko maa bakshegi nahi. (I asked Maa to get me married to Govinda and that I have a good life with him and she gave it all to me, even two beautiful children after marriage. But life is not always smooth. All I know is, whoever tries to break my house, Maa kali shall punish them)." She also recalled a paranormal experience where she felt someone push her, which she believed was connected to 'tantra.'
