Taylor Swift Says Her Father Scott Is “150%” Recovered and “Doing So Great” Just Four Months After Quintuple Bypass Surgery
Taylor Swift has given fans a heartwarming update about her father, Scott Swift, following his major heart surgery earlier this year. In her latest comments, the global superstar shared that her dad is “doing so great” and is already “at 150%,” just four months after undergoing a quintuple bypass — a complex procedure that left many fans concerned for his health when news first broke in July.
The surgery, confirmed by People in July 2025, took place earlier that summer after doctors discovered multiple blockages in Scott’s coronary arteries. According to the Mayo Clinic, coronary artery bypass surgery helps restore normal blood flow to the heart by creating a new path for blood to go around a blocked or partially blocked artery. For Scott, that meant a quintuple bypass — five separate bypasses — one of the most extensive forms of the operation.
The road to recovery was long, but Taylor’s latest words reflect both relief and pride. “He’s doing so great — like, 150%. He’s walking, joking, smiling, and back to being himself,” she reportedly told close friends during a recent stop on her Eras Tour. Those who know the family say Scott has always been one of Taylor’s biggest supporters, often seen cheering from the crowd during her concerts or helping her connect with fans behind the scenes. Seeing him bounce back so strongly after such a serious health scare, they say, has lifted her spirits tremendously.
For Taylor, this isn’t the first time her father’s health has deeply impacted her life. Over the years, she’s spoken openly about the importance of family and how much her parents’ support shaped her journey. Scott Swift, who once worked as a stockbroker and managed aspects of Taylor’s business career, has been a steady presence since her earliest Nashville days. From attending local gigs to guiding her through the pressures of fame, he’s been there for every milestone — and, now, she’s been there for his recovery.
Sources close to the Swift family describe how Taylor adjusted her schedule during his hospitalization to spend more time by his side. Between rehearsals and international performances, she reportedly made frequent visits, balancing her role as one of the world’s busiest performers with her role as a devoted daughter. It’s this bond — quiet, genuine, and deeply rooted in love — that makes the update about his recovery especially emotional for fans.
Those who’ve followed Taylor’s career know that family has always been the emotional anchor behind her work. Her mother, Andrea Swift, has also faced serious health challenges in the past, including a cancer diagnosis. Taylor has never shied away from expressing how much her parents’ strength inspires her. Many fans recall her heartfelt song “The Best Day,” written as a tribute to her mother, but equally reflecting her admiration for her family’s unity and love through hard times.
Today, hearing that her father is thriving again brings a collective sense of relief to Swifties worldwide. Social media has filled with messages of joy, encouragement, and love for both Taylor and Scott. Fans have praised the singer for her openness and strength — and for continuing to remind the world that behind all the fame and glamour, she’s still just a daughter grateful for her dad’s health.
As Taylor continues her record-breaking Eras Tour with renewed energy, she does so knowing her family is healing and strong. For many, this news feels like another happy verse in the story of a woman who has always balanced superstardom with genuine humanity.
