Travis Kelce was seen taking a leisurely drive around Los Angeles on Friday evening, as his girlfriend Taylor Swift remained by her father’s side following his significant heart surgery.
Scott Swift, age 73, is currently recuperating from a quintuple bypass operation performed over a month ago after an unusual finding during a standard medical examination.
‘The doctor found something and everything happened so fast. But they took care of it,’ an insider told the Daily Mail.
“Taylor has always been deeply worried about her mother’s health issues, so her attention was mostly on her. Her father was always the one who stayed fit,” a source shared.
The Daily Mail learned on Thursday that, as the singer and her family rushed to Scott’s bedside, it was Kelce who ‘went into total caregiver mode’.
Pictures showed the Kansas City Chiefs star driving around Los Angeles on Friday. It was unclear where he was going but he has been extremely present during Scott’s health crisis.

Taylor Swift’s father Scott is on the road to recovery after doctors performed a quintuple bypass on his heart
Whether it’s been ordering takeout meals for Taylor – ‘making sure she was eating’ – or checking in personally on Scott following his surgery, it is understood that NFL star has really risen to the occasion.
‘This was their first crisis together and Travis was doing everything right. If Taylor wasn’t ready to marry him before, she sure is now. They were in love before, but now it seems unbreakable,’ our insider said.
And perhaps in the biggest show yet of that ‘unbreakable’ bond, it can also be revealed that Travis received a much-coveted phone notification… he was added to the Swift family group chat!
Thankfully, the dad of two has made a speedy recovery, and a source close to Taylor has since told Daily Mail that Scott’s recovery has so far been ‘fantastic.’
Throughout his recovery from surgery, both Swift, and her younger brother, Austin, were by his side during the scary time. Andrea, who he has been married to for 37 years, was also there to support him.
Swift’s rep told the outlet that his bypass surgery was not the result of a heart attack.
The surgery is quite a major one, as it requires doctors to restore blood flow to certain areas of the heart.
Swift has always been close to her parents, especially her father, as he’s often seen at her concerts and even at football games to support her Kelce.

Travis and the Chiefs begin their annual training camp in St Joseph, Missouri on Tuesday
The health scare comes at a bad time for Kelce, who is due to report for the Chiefs’ training camp on Tuesday.
Travis and the Chiefs begin their annual training camp in St Joseph, Missouri on July 22 and finish on August 13. They also have three pre-season games in the schedule against the Arizona Cardinals, Seattle Seahawks and Chicago Bears.
Travis and brother Jason also announced this week there will be no new episodes of their smash-hit podcast ‘New Heights’ for the foreseeable future.
Jason may be retired from the NFL but his younger brother is still active and will be unable to record while at training camp.
As a result, the brothers will not be releasing new episodes of the show – which has 2.5 million subscribers on YouTube – for quite some time.
In fact, a specific return date is yet to be confirmed by the duo as they prepare to turn their microphones off after next week’s episode, which will be released on July 23.
There are some pre-recorded interviews with special guests to come but there will be nothing new from the famous brothers.
‘We have come to the end of the road,’ Jason announced during this week’s show.
