Scott Swift was instrumental in supporting Taylor Swift’s music career from childhood through the ‘Eras Tour’ and her relationship with Travis Kelce
Taylor Swift and her dad, Scott Swift, have had a very special bond with each other throughout her life.
Scott and Andrea Swift tied the knot in February 1988 and welcomed Taylor in 1989 and son Austin in 1992.
When Taylor wanted to pursue a career in music, Scott relocated his financial advisory company to Nashville.
“My dad believed in me, even when I didn’t,” Taylor shared in a 2009 interview of her father’s support. “He always knew I could do this. I’m sure that everyone in Reading [Pennsylvania] remembers just how much he talked about me … I just love my dad for believing in his little girl.”
Scott has continued to show up for Taylor throughout the years, including handing out guitar picks to fans at the Eras Tour and showing up to Kansas City Chiefs games with her to watch her boyfriend, Travis Kelce.
While Scott enjoys showing up for Taylor, he has also had to deal with some health battles of his own.
In an essay for Elle in 2019, Taylor discussed her mom’s cancer battle, noting that her dad had previously been diagnosed with cancer. She did not share any more details.
“Both of my parents have had cancer,” she wrote at the time.
Nearly six years later, Us Weekly reported that Scott had a quintuple bypass heart surgery and was recovering from the health scare. TMZ, who first reported the news, claimed that Taylor, Austin and Andrea were by Scott’s side amid the surgery, which came after a routine check-up.
