Taylor Swift revealed on the New Heights podcast that her father, Scott Swift, just emerged from quintuple bypass surgery—and came out joking and full of spirit. Discovered during a resting stress test, the operation was swiftly scheduled, with Taylor, her mom, and brother supporting him in the ICU. She even moved in temporarily, reversing roles by building his shower chair and walker—roles he once fulfilled growing up. Scott’s energizing humor and uplifting attitude have made headlines, with Taylor calling it the “summer of parental upgrades.”
