Taylor Swift’s dad Scott undergoes surgery
The “Fortnight” singer’s father, Scott Swift, currently 73, underwent an open heart surgery, specifically quintuple bypass surgery. This happened over one month earlier, and the singer stayed by her father’s side throughout.
As revealed by TMZ recently, Taylor Swift’s representatives have confirmed this news. The reports also state that this surgery was not a result of a heart attack. Rather, doctors found something during a checkup and decided to go forward with the surgery. As per the representative, the recovery is going great, and Scott is much better now.
Throughout the duration of the surgery, Andrea Swift and Austin Swift, Taylor’s mother and younger brother, were also present with Scott.
Quintuple bypass surgery, also known as quintuple coronary artery bypass graft, is performed when arteries supplying blood to the heart are blocked. This is a complex surgery and often requires a long time to recover, but most individuals recuperate successfully.
Taylor Swift and her dad, Scott Swift, are pretty close, as is indicated by his multiple appearances at her events and his constant support throughout her career. Hence, it is not surprising that the Grammy-winning artist decided to stick close to her dad during this difficult time.
In 2019, the “Anti-Hero” hitmaker divulged to Elle that both her parents are cancer survivors. “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 said.
Given the pop icon being busy tending to her family, she and her reps have yet to comment more on her father’s health.
