Taylor Swift Provides an Update on Her Father's Health
In the recent episode of the New Heights podcast, Taylor Swift opened up in a way unlike she ever has before. Swift discussed everything from her upcoming album to her relationship with her boyfriend, Travis Kelce. Swift also opened up about the current health status of her father, Scott Swift.
Fans of the superstar might recall that her 73-year-old father underwent major heart surgery earlier this year. Swift described the surgery as 'very intense.'
"He's doing good," she said. "He is doing incredibly well. My dad had an interesting summer. He actually had a quintuple bypass surgery.'
Despite having a near-perfect electrocardiogram in the past, Swift explained that her father would later take a stress test that detected that he had several areas in his heart with reduced blood flow. This was a cause for concern.

When it was determined that her father would need surgery, Swift, her brother Austin, and her mother, Andrea, all moved in with him to help care for him. It was an experience that had Swift reflecting on the passage of time.
"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," Swift recalled. "I'm having these moments where I'm like, this dude built play sets and swing sets and cribs for me. I'm building his … shower chair and his walker ... Like, it's just surreal, man."
Swift's mother also recently had surgery, she revealed.
"My mom just got a new knee. She's doing great," Swift said. "This was just, like, the summer of my parental upgrades. We're just upgrading the parents, making sure that they live to be at least 186 years old, because they're two of my best friends."
