Taylor Swift has made a massive charitable contribution in honor of her father, Scott Swift.
The 36-year-old billionaire has donated $1 million to the American Heart Association.
Swift’s 73-year-old father underwent quintuple bypass surgery in June to remove ‘five hard blockages.’
‘Taylor’s contribution enables the advancement of ongoing scientific research, stronger prevention and treatment efforts, and expanded access to life-saving care for every community,’ the organization announced on their Instagram.
It comes after Swift donated $1 million to charity Feeding America, a nonprofit network of 200 food banks leading the fight against hunger in the United States.
The 14-time Grammy winner marveled at the fact that Scott always had healthy EKGs at his annual physicals, but it was a resting stress test that alerted him to the problem.

The 36-year-old pop star used a portion of her $1.6 billion fortune to help the organization ‘advance ongoing scientific research, stronger prevention and treatment efforts, as well as expanded access to life‑saving care for every community’
‘He’s been telling all his friends [they] need to get the stress test because that’s what’s actually preventative,’ Swift recalled on her fiancé Travis Kelce’s New Heights podcast August 13.
‘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.’
The Father Figure singer spent the entire summer in Florida helping the financial adviser — whom she calls her ‘best friend’ — recover, and she called the parent–child reversal ‘wild.’
‘This dude built playsets and swing sets and cribs for me,’ Swift recalled.
‘I’m building his shower chair and his walker and his like bed that goes like this. Like it’s just surreal, man…[My brother Austin] had a little harness for my dad, just like walking dad on his harness. And he was like the loveliest patient ever. He just kept saying thank you over and over again.’
Scott reportedly inspired the Pennsylvania-born belter’s songs The Best Day (2008), Never Grow Up (2010), Mine (2010) and But Daddy I Love Him (2024).
Swift’s latest charitable act came the same day she donated $1 million to Feeding America for families facing hunger.
Eleven days ago, she handed out $750,000 bonus checks to her backup dancers in her Disney+ docuseries The End of an Era.
