Taylor Swift shares update on dad Scott after major heart surgery
Taylor Swift moved in with her dad, Scott Swift, after he underwent quintuple bypass surgery.
The All Too Well singer has detailed her father's recovery from the major operation, which he underwent in June, and how she experienced "parent-child reversal" nursing him amid his recovery.
Providing an update on her parent on her boyfriend Travis Kelce's New Heights podcast, she said: "So, 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." It comes after Taylor Swift sparks engagement rumours as fans spot Travis Kelce's lock screen.

Taylor added: "You can sort out those blockages with stents and things that are a lot less invasive." Scott kept his sense of humour and was cracking jokes in his hospital bed after waking up from his operation.
Taylor recounted: "He wakes up from surgery, and it's my mom, my brother [Austin], and me and his best friend. He did like a comedy act, a comedy set for 15 minutes. He was the funniest he's ever been, and he's usually really funny."
She continued: "And it was kind of wild because it was like, very parent-child reversal in a lot of ways. My brother and my mom and I were each taking shifts in the ICU and staying with him 24/7."
The But Daddy I Love him singer's papa famously handed out guitar picks to fans on her Eras Tour, and in his sleepy state, he was trying to give them to the hospital staff.
Taylor shared: "He came out of surgery, tried to give guitar picks to all the nurses and doctors, but he wasn't wearing pants, didn't have pockets, hospital gown, you know?"
Taylor got to work ensuring her dad could shower and get around in a walker.
She said: "I'm like, this dude built play sets and swing sets and cribs for me. I'm building his shower chair and his walker, and his bed that goes like this.
"It's just surreal, man. You can't really walk on your own. We had a little harness for my dad, just like walking dad on his harness."
She added: "And he was like the loveliest patient ever. He just kept saying thank you over and over again."

New Orleans Saints trade Khalen Saunders to the Jacksonville Jaguars
Two-time Super Bowl champion Khalen Saunders has been traded to the Jacksonville Jaguars by the New Orleans Saints. Saunders won two Lombardi Trophies during his time with the Kansas City Chiefs from 2019 to 2022. The 29-year-old defensive tackle left Arrowhead Stadium for the Saints in 2023 and has been a key piece of their defense in recent seasons. However, he will now link up with Liam Coen and the Jaguars ahead of the new NFL campaign. Ironically, Saunders made his final appearance for the Saints in a preseason game against the Jaguars on Sunday. Saunders is the brother of one of Taylor Swift 's backup dancers, Kameron Saunders, who was prominently featured on her record-breaking 'Eras Tour.' He is expected to be the top reserve option for the Jaguars' starting defensive tackle Arik Armstead. The terms of the trade have yet to be disclosed. Saunders is poised to enter his seventh season in the NFL. He managed 43 total tackles last year, which included two sacks. The highlight of his season, however, was an interception against the Chiefs. Saunders denied Travis Kelce a touchdown when he picked off Patrick Mahomes' pass in the end zone before returning the ball nearly 40 yards.

Why Taylor Swift's belly button is trending again after The Life Of A Showgirl album announcement
Taylor Swift 's belly button is trending once again, years after bizarre theories that the pop star didn't have one first emerged. Last week, the 35-year-old Grammy winner announced her upcoming 12th studio album The Life Of A Showgirl, which is set to be released later this year on October 3. She excitedly shared the big news as she joined her boyfriend Travis Kelce on his New Heights podcast. Swift also took to social media to unveil the sexy album cover and accompanying photos as she embraced the showgirl theme, including one photo in which she posed in a bedazzled bralette top and matching bottoms, exposing her toned midriff. Fans have since taken to X to repost the image and recalled when there was speculation that Swift didn't have a belly button over a decade earlier — until she proved that she did have one in a bikini snap in 2015. One wrote, 'OG swifties look at this in shock that taylor is revealing her belly button, reminiscing on the days we joked that she didn't have one.' One wrote, 'OG swifties look at this in shock that taylor is revealing her belly button, reminiscing on the days we joked that she didn't have one' 'Honestly such a funny memory from back in the day!' another wrote, while an X user added, 'Such a long running joke and then when she finally got in on it and posted that photo proving she had one! iconic.' The fan appeared to be referencing the 2015 image of Swift as she posed with close pals on a Hawaiian vacation. The star — who was 25 at the time — struck a pose on the side of boat while sporting a striped bikini alongside the members of the band Haim. 'I literally cannot believe my eyes lol,' one also wrote about the latest album photos, and another commented, 'No literally that was my first thought after seeing this. "Belly button confirmed." A fan typed, 'no 'cause every time i stumble upon this picture i stare at a bit 'cause I can't believe we're seeing her belly button.' Another shared, 'I'll never forget the belly button reveal. She was with HAIM! Was it 2014?' and one penned, '2014 me would be in a septic shock after seeing this.' 'Every time I see taylor swift's belly button i feel like a victorian man seeing ankles for the first time,' an X user humorously added. Another said, 'one of my first thoughts was how wrong it feels to see her belly button,' and one joked, 'I think it's photoshopped tbh.' 'Honestly such a funny memory from back in the day!' another wrote, while an X user added, 'Such a long running joke and then when she finally got in on it and posted that photo proving she had one! iconic' The fan appeared to be referencing the 2015 image of Swift as she posed with close pals on a Hawaiian vacation 'I've been so over the moon about everything else that I had completely forgotten about the fact that we used to think that she didn't have a bellybutton lmao,' a Swiftie wrote. Swift previously opened up about the belly button speculation during an interview with the now defunct Lucky Magazine in 2014, shortly before she shared the bikini snap, per Entertainment Tonight. 'I don't like showing my belly button. When you start showing your belly button then you're really committing to the midriff thing.' The Love Story songstress added, 'I only partially commit to the midriff thing — you're only seeing lower rib cage.' Swift also expressed, 'As far as anyone knows based on my public appearances, they haven't seen evidence of a belly button. It could be pierced. They have no idea. 'If I'm going to get some sort of massive tattoo, it's going to be right next to my belly button because no one's ever going to see that.' In the picture that has recently sent fans into a frenzy, the singer could be seen wearing a sparkling bralette top with a high neck as well as matching bottoms. A bedazzled shawl with fuzzy pieces was draped over her arms as she struck a pose underneath a bright spotlight. Her blonde locks flowed down effortlessly passed her shoulders while a glittering headpiece was placed on top. And on the New Heights podcast last week on Wednesday, Swift also unveiled the cover art for The Life Of A Showgirl, which has 12 songs. On the cover, the songstress could be seen partially immersed in water while donning a bedazzled bodysuit. She gazed toward the camera in the photo, which was taken by photographers Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott, whom she previously collaborated with in 2017 for her Reputation album. 'I loved what they did with those photos, so I called them up for [this album]. I am so happy with the way the photos came out with this one,' the singer explained on the podcast episode. The star said she is 'so proud' of the LP while adding, 'This is a full send. I care about this record more than I can even overstate.' Swift said that the cover art was meant to show what the 'end of [her] night' looks like after performing on tour. 'My day ends with me in a bathtub — not usually in a bedazzled dress — but we try to keep it decent,' she humorously said, with Kelce sitting next to her. 'I wanted to glamorize all the different aspects of how [the Eras Tour] felt and [the The Life Of A Showgirl cover] is how that felt at the end of the night.' Sabrina Carpenter is featured on the titular track, while other song titles include The Fate Of Ophelia, Elizabeth Taylor, Opalite, Father Figure, Eldest Daughter, Ruin The Friendship, Actually Romantic, Wi$h Li$t, Wood, CANCELLED!, and Honey. Swift opted to not work with her previous collaborator Jack Antonoff, but instead co-produced the upcoming album with Max Martin and Shellback. The Grammy winner recalled bringing the album to life and recording tracks amidst her Eras Tour from 2023 through 2024. During brief breaks from touring, she would whisk herself to Sweden where she would work closely with Martin. 'I would do like three shows in a row. I'd have three days off. I'd fly to Sweden, go back to the tour, and was actually working on this. 'I was physically exhausted at this point in the tour, but I was so mentally stimulated and so excited to be creating,' Swift expressed.
