Taylor Swift’s team has responded to allegations that her father, Scott Swift, assaulted photographers in Australia. The incident occurred early Tuesday morning when the pair were leaving a yacht at Sydney’s ferry wharves. Local police did not confirm that it was Scott Swift involved in the altercation but stated that a 71-year-old man allegedly assaulted a 51-year-old man at Neutral Bay Wharf.
In response to the allegations, Taylor Swift’s camp released a statement to Page Six, setting the record straight. According to the statement, two individuals were aggressively approaching Taylor and grabbing at her security personnel. They even threatened to throw a female staff member into the water. This clarification suggests that Scott Swift’s actions were driven by a desire to protect his daughter and her team from potential harm.
The photographer who reported the incident stated that he was shocked by the alleged violent outburst and claimed that there was no need for it as the security had the situation under control. He has left the matter in the hands of the police for further investigation.
This incident occurred after Taylor Swift wrapped up her final Eras Tour performance in Sydney on Monday. The tour was a massive success, with over 600,000 tickets sold for her shows in Melbourne and Sydney. Notably, three of her shows at the Melbourne Cricket Ground had a record audience of 96,000 fans each night. Even Taylor’s boyfriend, Travis Kelce, flew all the way to Australia to watch her perform after enjoying a day out at the Sydney Zoo.
The altercation between Scott Swift and the photographer took place while Taylor and her father were out and about in Sydney. However, Scott Swift’s trip to Sydney was short-lived as he was seen flying back to the US the following day. It is believed that Taylor Swift and her team were on board their private jet, which was spotted taxiing down the runway at Sydney Airport just hours after the alleged incident.
Despite this unfortunate incident, Taylor Swift now has a few days off to recover before her next tour stop in Singapore on March 2. Her world tour has been sold out, showcasing her immense popularity and the dedication of her fans.
In conclusion, Taylor Swift’s team has refuted the allegations of assault against her father, Scott Swift, in Australia. The statement released by her camp suggests that the altercation occurred as a result of individuals aggressively approaching Taylor and her team. While the photographer involved claims that the security had the situation under control, further investigation by the police will shed more light on the incident. As Taylor Swift continues her successful world tour, she remains a beloved figure in the music industry, supported by a loyal fanbase.
