In mid-July news broke that Taylor Swift’s father, Scott, was recovery from major surgery he underwent in June.<\/p>\n
Swift’s representative confirmed that the billionaire musician’s father had a quintuple bypass surgery just over a month ago. Swift, her brother, Austin, and her mother, Andrea, were reportedly by his side during the surgery and recovery process.<\/p>\n
“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,” People<\/a><\/em> reported at the time.<\/p>\n During her first ever appearance on boyfriend Travis Kelce’s podcast New Heights<\/em>, Swift spoke about the “really intense” surgery for the first time revealing her father “is doing incredibly well.”<\/p>\n The 73-year-old learned he had five blockages during a routine medical checkup and was told,\u00a0“We’ve gotta do this tomorrow. We don’t know how you walked in here, dude. This is crazy.”<\/p>\n “He’s had a perfect (electrocardiogram) every year that he’s gone in for physicals. But what found his five hard blockages in his heart was a resting stress test,” Swift explained.<\/p>\n “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. You can sort out those blockages with stents and things that are a lot less invasive.”<\/p>\n In true dad fashion, Swift didn’t initially want to tell his children, the 14-time Grammy winner and brother Austin, about the surgery.<\/p>\n “You guys are busy; I don’t want you guys to have to come in here. You and (brother) Austin are busy,” she remembered him saying before she mockingly said: “So I was like, ‘OK, I’m not going to come there, all right.'”<\/p>\n After waking up from\u00a0general anesthesia, he already had a few dad jokes at the ready.<\/p>\n “I was like, ‘Dad, you had a quintuple bypass. You had five (blockages). That’s crazy. That’s more than we’d thought,'” Swift told her father. “And he was like, ‘You see, I come from a very competitive family.”<\/p>\nSwift Breaks Her Silence on the Surgery<\/h2>\n
