But what really stole the show was when Travis received a coveted phone notification - he got added to the Swift family group chat! Talk about being accepted with open arms!

As Scott began his road to recovery, Taylor and her younger brother, Austin, were by his side every step of the way. Their mom, Andrea, who's been married to Scott for 37 years, was also there to support him throughout this trying time.

The surgery itself is quite the major operation, requiring doctors to restore blood flow to certain areas of the heart. Thankfully, Scott's recovery has been nothing short of "fantastic," with Taylor and her family breathing a collective sigh of relief.

But what's truly remarkable is the way Travis has stepped up to support his girlfriend and her loved ones during this challenging period. He's been a rock-solid presence throughout, and sources close to Taylor say that Scott's recovery has only strengthened their bond.

The Couple That Cares Together...

In fact, insiders claim that Travis has been so present during Scott's recovery that he's earned Taylor's eternal gratitude - she might just be ready to put a ring on it now!
