Taylor Swift shared a health update about her father, Scott Swift, four months after he underwent quintuple bypass surgery.
"By his own according of it, he's actually at 150 percent now," Taylor, 35, said about Scott, 73, while appearing on the Monday, October 6, episode of SiriusXM's The Morning Mashup. "He's actually got too much energy. He's doing amazing."
The "Fate of Ophelia" singer added that her main concern over the past summer was "getting him back to his old self."
"He had amazing medical care and help and doctors and nurses who I am going to be forever grateful for," she continued, noting that her father's health scare was an experience that "recontextualizes what matters to you."
"It reminds me how lucky I am that he pulled through," Taylor said.
Taylor's fans have gotten to know Scott well over the years, and he's become famous for handing out guitar picks to people. The "Cornelia Street" singer insisted Scott wasn't done interacting with her fans, and she revealed that he "got new" guitar picks because "every time there's a new album that comes out, he gets new guitar picks made so he can just pull them out of his pocket and throw them or hand them to people at restaurants."
"This happens everywhere we go," Taylor, who moved in with Scott during his recovery, said.
Coronary artery bypass surgery "creates a new path for blood to go around a blocked or partially blocked artery in the heart," according to The Mayo Clinic. "The surgery involves taking a healthy blood vessel from the chest or leg area. The vessel is connected below the blocked heart artery. The new path improves blood flow to the heart muscle."
Taylor first opened up about her father's surgery when she appeared on the August 13 episode of Travis Kelce and Jason Kelce's "New Heights" podcast. "So, it it all happened really quick," she said at the time, revealing that Scott had a "perfect EKG" every time he went to the doctor prior to the surgery. However, doctors found five blockages in his heart when he underwent a stress test.

"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," Taylor shared. "You can sort out those blockages with stents and things that are a lot less invasive."
The "Love Story" singer continued the personal interview by sharing what happened when Scott woke up after the procedure. "He wakes up from surgery, and it's my mom, my brother, and me and his best friend," she recalled. "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."
Taylor told him that he needed to have five blockages removed, to which Scott responded, "Well, you see, I come from a very competitive family."
"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," Taylor said.
