Taylor Swift's Dad Scott Recovering After Undergoing Heart Surgery
NEED TO KNOW Taylor Swift's dad Scott is on the road to recovery after undergoing a heart procedure, PEOPLE confirms Scott had had quintuple bypass surgery just over a month ago The pop superstar, her brother Austin and their mom Andrea have all been by Scott's side throughout the surgery and recovery processTaylor Swift's dad Scott is recovering after undergoing a heart procedure. Scott Swift, 73, had quintuple bypass surgery just over a month ago and is well on the road to recovery, PEOPLE has confirmed. The news was first published by TMZ. The pop superstar, 35, has been by her dad's side, along with her brother Austin, 33, and their mom Andrea, 67, throughout the entire surgery and recovery process. The procedure occurred after Scott went in for a check-up and his doctor noticed something that led to the operation. The procedure was not the result of a heart attack. According to the Mayo Clinic, "Coronary artery bypass surgery creates a new path for blood to go around a blocked or partially blocked artery in the heart." "The surgery [often] involves taking a healthy blood vessel from the chest or leg area. The vessel is connected below the blocked heart artery. The new path improves blood flow to the heart muscle," the site adds. A representative for Swift did not immediately respond to PEOPLE's request for comment. In a 2019 essay for Elle titled '30 Things I Learned Before I Turned 30,' Taylor opened up about her parents' health and shared that "both of my parents have had cancer." "I've had to learn how to handle serious illness in my family ... It's taught me that there are real problems and then there's everything else," she wrote. The personal essay also saw Taylor share that her mom's cancer had returned, though she did not share any further details on her dad's health. Scott and Andrea Swift, who have been married for 37 years, have always been their daughter's biggest cheerleaders, nurturing her talent and passion from a young age. Long before she was a Grammy-winning singer, the "Fortnight" musician's parents were listening to her sing karaoke and driving her to local gigs close to where she was raised near Wyomissing, Penn. "She was always singing music when she was 3, 5, 6, 7, years old," Scott, told UDaily, the newspaper of his alma mater, the University of Delaware, back in 2009. "It's Taylor doing what she likes to do." Taylor's parents were seen at multiple Eras Tour shows before the record-shattering run of gigs came to a close in Vancouver, Canada, on Dec. 8, 2024. Scott made several headlines during his appearances, including when a clip of him handing out chicken tenders to fans at London's Wembley Stadium went viral in August 2024. "Scott handing out chicken during ['Style'] somehow makes sense," TikTok user Stephanie Niemiec of New York City wrote over the video at the time, referring to Taylor's hit single from 1989 and 1989 (Taylor's Version). Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. "Thank you for the chicken," she said to Scott in the clip before turning her phone around and adding, "The chicken is fresh." Niemiec, 22, tagged Taylor in her caption and wrote, 'Tell your dad I said thank you, it was just what I needed.' Read the original article on People

Taylor Swift's dad, Scott Swift, recovering from quintuple bypass
NEW YORK — 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, mom 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 Swift 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.' Swift'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.

Taylor Swift's dad Scott Swift has quintuple bypass surgery at age 73
Taylor Swift's father, Scott Swift, is recovering after undergoing a heart procedure. The 73-year-old had quintuple bypass surgery just over a month ago and is recovering well, Fox News Digital has confirmed. The procedure was not a result of a heart attack. "He's doing fantastic!" a representative for Taylor said. Scott's wife of 37 years, Andrea, and their children, Taylor and Austin, have all been by his side during his recovery. "Coronary artery bypass surgery is a procedure that detours (or bypasses) blood around a blocked section of one or more coronary arteries," according to Harvard Medical. Surgery is typically conducted if several of the coronary arteries are blocked and the blockages become widespread. "The most common symptom of coronary artery disease is a type of chest pain called angina. This pain is usually described as a squeezing, pressing, or burning pain in the center of the chest or just below the center of the rib cage. The pain may spread to the arms (especially the left), abdomen, lower jaw, or neck." This isn't the first health scare that has hit the Swift family. In 2020, Taylor revealed Andrea had been diagnosed with a brain tumor while undergoing treatment for cancer, which returned for the second time while the Grammy winner was filming her Netflix documentary "Miss Americana." In an interview with Variety, Taylor opened up about what the diagnosis means for her mother, her family and her music career. "Everyone loves their mom; everyone's got an important mom," she said. "But for me, she's really the guiding force. Almost every decision I make, I talk to her about it first. So obviously it was a really big deal to ever speak about her illness. "She was going through chemo, and that's a hard enough thing for a person to go through," she continued. "While she was going through treatment, they found a brain tumor." "And the symptoms of what a person goes through when they have a brain tumor is nothing like what we've ever been through with her cancer before. So it's just been a really hard time for us as a family," she explained at the time. Andrea was first diagnosed with cancer in 2015 and then went into remission. Taylor revealed in Elle magazine in 2019 that her mom was battling the disease again. "I've had to learn how to handle serious illness in my family. Both of my parents have had cancer, and my mom is now fighting her battle with it again," she wrote in a personal essay for the publication. "It's taught me that there are real problems and then there's everything else," Swift described. "My mom's cancer is a real problem. I used to be so anxious about daily ups and downs. I give all of my worry, stress, and prayers to real problems now."
