Taylor Swift Says Dad Scott Is 'At 150%' Four Months After Quintuple Bypass

She is using the experience to urge preventive cardiac stress testing.

Overview

  • Swift delivered the update during an Oct. 6 appearance on SiriusXM's The Morning Mashup, saying her father has "too much energy" and is "doing amazing."
  • Scott Swift, 73, had quintuple coronary artery bypass surgery in June after five blockages were detected during a cardiac stress test.
  • Taylor said the family devoted the summer to his recovery, moving in, taking ICU shifts, and providing round-the-clock care to help him regain strength.
  • She expressed deep gratitude to the medical team and said the ordeal reframed the family's priorities and sense of what matters.
  • Scott has resumed handing out his custom guitar picks, and he now urges friends to get stress tests, noting earlier detection can allow less invasive treatments like stents.
