Taylor Swift is one of the most popular recording artists out there right now, with a legion of loyal fans celebrating every release (and re-release). While Swift’s relationship with Travis Kelce usually turns heads, most recently she’s made headlines thanks to a health incident within her family. Specifically, her father getting heart surgery while she was reportedly at his side.
This news comes to from TMZ, which reports that Taylor’s father Scott Swift underwent “quintuple bypass surgery” just a month ago. The “All Too Well” singer was reportedly at his side throughout the ideal, and he’s seemingly feeling much better.
Taylor Swift has fans swooning over mentioning her boyfriend, this is a very different type of story that’s following the Grammy-winning recording artist. One can only imagine how Taylor and the rest of her family were feeling when her father was in the midst of heart surgery. And the fact that it happened a month ago without the public even knowing is likely going to affect her droves of loyal fans.
Back in June there were reports that Swift’s father Scott and Travis Kelce were protecting her in the midst of rumored drama with Blake Lively. Specifically because Swift was named in Lively’s legal battle against Justin Baldoni. But it turns out that the legendary recording artist had other concerns last month related to her father’s health scare and corresponding heart surgery. I have to wonder if this put new context to other reported dramas going on in the “Love Story” singer’s life.
Swift is a global superstar, and has a way of shaping pop culture thanks to her personal life and catalogue of hit songs. Case in point: back in May she debuted Taylor’s version of “Look What You Made Me Do” on the penultimate episode of The Handmaid’s Tale (which is streaming with a Hulu subscription). But as that track was being celebrated and her relationship with Kelce continued to fascinate the public, it turns out that she was dealing with some serious issues behind the scenes.
Now that news about Scott Swift is available to the public, I’m curious to see how Taylor’s fans might come together to support the singer/songwriter. The passion of her fanbase is pretty legendary at this point, so I’d assume that they’ll get together and show Tay lot of love. And since her father’s surgery reportedly happened a month ago, perhaps she’ll be able to accept this support without it being too close to home. Fingers crossed for his continued recovery.
