Swift described the operation as “really intense” during her appearance on New Heights.
And the 35-year-old also told podcast listeners that her mom Andrea had knee surgery.
She said on New Heights, “My dad’s like, ‘New arteries, new me.’
“My mom just got a new knee – she’s doing great.
“She’s scampering around. Well, not quite at scampering yet, but she’s doing great.
“This was just like the summer of my parental upgrades.
“Making sure that they live to be at least 186 years old, because they’re two of my best friends and I just adore them.”
Swift also gave an update on her dad’s condition.
Her father underwent a cardiac stress test during a routine visit, and doctors found five blockages in his heart.
The musician revealed that she moved in with her dad temporarily as he recovered from the operation.

Scott is now “full of life” and very appreciative of his doctors.
Swift said, “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.
“You can’t really walk on your own (after surgery), so we had a little harness for my dad, just like walking dad on his harness.
“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.’
“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.”
