Taylor Swift is sharing how she helped her father through a delicate procedure.
The “Shake It Off” singer shared that she moved in with her dad Scott Swift earlier this year to take care of him after he underwent a quintuple bypass surgerynoting that he was full of gratitude during his recovery.
“He was the loveliest patient ever,” she said on the Aug. 13 episode of Travis Kelce and Jason Kelce’s New Heights podcast. “He just kept saying thank you over and over again.”
Indeed, while Taylor, 35, noted that the procedure was “a really intense surgery,” she pointed out that Scott, 73, was particularly fortunate to have discovered his ailment in time to properly treat it.
“He’s had a healthy, perfect EKG [electrocardiogram] every year that he’s gone in to get his physicals,” the singer explained. “But what found his five hard blockages in his heart was a resting stress test. 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.”
