How is Taylor Swift's father Scott doing after heart surgery? Singer shares update

Taylor Swift shared a happy update, revealing her father, Scott Kingsley Swift, is doing 'incredibly' well after the heart surgery. Swift's recent appearance on the New Heights podcast with Travis and Jason Kelce is making headlines. The video gained over 2 million views within 2 hours of its release.

The podcast consisted of questions ranging from her career to her personal life and upcoming music. In the middle of the podcast, Jason also asked the singer about her father's health, to which she said:

"He is doing incredibly well. My dad had an interesting summer."

Reading along the details, she added:

"He had a quintuple bypass surgery, and that's a really intense surgery. So it all happened really quick."

After doctors discovered the blockages, they advised Scott Swift to have surgery the next day. Thinking of his kids rather than himself, he initially told Taylor and her brother Austin not to come because of their busy schedules. Still, the Swift family was by his side during the surgery, along with Scott’s best friend.

Taylor Swift gives the details on Scott Swift’s post-surgery comedy moment

Taylor Swift described the experience as a ‘parent reversal,’ with the family taking turns in the ICU to watch over him. They also moved in for the entire summer, as he couldn’t walk on his own and needed a harness for support.

Sharing post-surgery details, she said that upon waking up, her dad performed a 15-minute comedy act. Calling the moment 'surreal,' she said:

"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. And 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 and his bed."

After hearing Swift, Jason Kelce also joined the conversation and added:

"We had a FaceTime with him last summer when we were together, and I was like, he hasn't changed a bit. This guy still freaking got the energy going."

The conversation stayed light and calm, with Taylor Swift joking that her dad got new arteries and her mom got new knees, calling it a parental upgrade so they could live 'at least 186' years. She called them her best friends and said it was a good time, as she spent the entire summer with them.
