The incident comes two years after Grant underwent open-heart surgery to fix a birth defect she didn't know about until a routine checkup in 2020. At the time, Grant revealed she needed surgery to fix a heart condition called PAPVR, a birth defect where one or more of the pulmonary veins do not connect correctly to the left atrium.
She showed off her surgical scar on social media following the operation (above), as she opened up about the support she's felt since she first revealed her condition.
"As people heard about the surgery I started getting messages: 'I'm praying for you' …'I'm praying for you.' People I worked with decades ago, people who have come to my concerts or listen to my music, my work family, people on social media, and my own friends and family all offered their prayers," she wrote. "And now, ten days later, I just want to say, from the moment I went to the hospital, if it really were a marathon race, I felt like I got into that runners block and as soon as it was time for the race to start there was this massive West Texas wind at my back... just pushing me through."
"Even stuff I was really scared about felt like nothing more than just a deep breath and something supernatural pushed me through it," she continued, saying her recovery felt "miraculous."
