Taylor Swift reportedly paused all professional obligations to be by her father’s side during a serious medical emergency. A day after news broke that Scott Swift underwent quintuple bypass surgery last month, a source close to the family revealed new details about Taylor’s unwavering support.
According to a report on Rob Shuter’s #ShuterScoop, the Grammy-winning singer immediately prioritized her family and stayed at the hospital throughout her father’s procedure. A family friend told the outlet that Taylor “camped out” at the hospital alongside her mother, Andrea, and brother, Austin.
Taylor’s representative confirmed to TMZ that Scott underwent a heart procedure over a month ago. The rep clarified that a heart attack didn’t trigger the surgery but was necessary due to several “urgent blockages.” A friend described Scott’s health scare as “terrifying” but said the family thankfully “caught it in time.”
According to reports, Scott and Andrea went in for a routine check-up when doctors noticed concerning signs that eventually led to the life-saving quintuple bypass surgery. The 73-year-old is now reportedly recovering well with his family by his side.
Insiders told #ShuterScoop that Taylor immediately stepped into “full daughter mode” once she learned of her father’s condition. “For Taylor, family always comes first,” the source emphasized.
Low Profile
Since wrapping up the final leg of The Eras Tour in December, Taylor has kept a relatively low profile. She’s been spending time both publicly and privately with boyfriend Travis Kelce, and in May, she made headlines after securing ownership of her master recordings from Shamrock Capital.
Kelce was recently teeing off at the American Century Championship celebrity golf tournament in Nevada. The NFL star gave an adorable response when a fan shouted out some encouragement and mentioned Taylor Swift.
However, Kelce’s off-field activities have come under scrutiny. Former NFL coach Eric Mangini believes his performance is slipping due to his offseason distractions, including his high-profile relationship with Taylor Swift.
