Taylor Swift’s father, Scott Swift, has been cleared of charges following an incident involving a paparazzi photographer in Sydney, Australia. The altercation took place after Taylor’s final performance of The Eras Tour, where she and her father had arrived at a ferry wharf in Neutral Bay.
The photographer, Ben McDonald, accused Scott Swift of punching him in the face during the encounter. However, an investigation by the NSW Police concluded that no further action would be taken regarding the incident.
The alleged altercation occurred as Taylor and her father disembarked from a luxury yacht, with Mr. McDonald claiming that Scott Swift approached him aggressively. In response, a spokeswoman for Taylor Swift stated that the photographers were behaving aggressively towards the singer and her security personnel.
Despite conflicting accounts of the incident, footage captured before the alleged altercation showed Scott Swift gesturing at photographers while walking up the wharf. Mr. McDonald, the CEO of Matrix Media Group, refuted claims of aggressive behavior from the photographers and expressed shock upon realizing that Taylor Swift’s father was the alleged assailant.
While Mr. McDonald did not require medical attention following the incident, he described experiencing discomfort on the left side of his face. Despite the lack of clarity surrounding the events leading up to the altercation, Scott Swift has been a supportive presence throughout Taylor’s tour, earning praise for his interactions with fans and efforts to improve their concert experience.
The resolution of this incident marks the conclusion of a challenging episode for Taylor Swift and her family, allowing them to focus on their ongoing endeavors in the music industry.
