Taylor Swift's dad, Scott Swift, recovering from quintuple bypass
Taylor Swift's dad is recovering after undergoing a recent quintuple bypass, for which the pop superstar has been by his side. The 73-year-old patriarch is 'doing fantastic,' following the surgery, a rep for the Grammy winner confirmed to the Daily News. Swift Sr.'s procedure took place over a month ago and was not prompted by a heart attack, but something his doctor spotted during a checkup. The rep also confirmed the entire family were with him during the surgery and recovery, including the Cardigan crooner, 35, mum Andrea — Scott's wife of 37 years — and Taylor's younger brother Austin. Scott and Andrea, 67, were regularly spotted supporting their daughter during her record-breaking Eras Tour. In spring 2024, he made headlines for allegedly assaulting a photographer in Australia when a Taylor rep said 'two individuals were aggressively pushing their way towards Taylor, grabbing at her security personnel, and threatening to throw a female staff into the water.' Local authorities ultimately declined to charge Papa Swift. This isn't the first time the health of Taylor's parents has been made public. In 2015, she revealed in a since-deleted Tumblr post that Andrea had cancer, hoping her family's experience would prompt fans to remind their parents 'to go get checked' themselves. She opened up again in a 2019 essay that both parents 'have had cancer,' with Andrea 'fighting her battle with it again. 'it's taught me that there are real problems and then there's everything else,' said Taylor at the time, who had since learned to devote her 'worry, stress, and prayers to real problems.' Taylor's song Soon You'll Get Better was written about her mother's battle, though she has not divulged more about her dad's health. – New York Daily News/Tribune News Service
