Taylor Swift opens up about father’s terrifying heart surgery

Taylor Swift, in a rare turn of events, opened up about her father’s major quintuple bypass surgery and how he has been faring.

Appearing on the New Heights podcast, hosted by her beau Travis Kelce and his brother Jason, she explained that the surgery took place this summer, "So, it it all happened really quick.”

The doctors discovered five blockages in his heart, "So, 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. You can sort out those blockages with stents and things that are a lot less invasive."

The singer ended up moving in with him to help with his recovery, "He said something about like when a cat is injured, it curls up around a tree and heals itself. I was like, 'Dad, cats don't have quintuple bypass.’”

Recalling the time after his surgery, Swift revealed, "He wakes up from surgery, and it's my mom, my brother, and me and his best friend. He did like a comedy act, a comedy set for 15 minutes. He was the funniest he's ever been, and he's usually really funny.”

"And it was kind of wild because it was like, very parent-child reversal in a lot of ways. My brother and my mom and I were each taking shifts in the ICU and staying with him 24/7," she admitted.

In other news, Swift revealed that she is releasing a brand new album named The Life Of A Showgirl. On the podcast, she explained that it will have more of pop based vibe, while maintaining the same depth from albums like Folklore.
