Taylor Swift’s rep has responded to claims that her dad, Scott Swift, reportedly attacked a photographer on Sydney’s North Shore on Tuesday, February 27. The incident occurred hours after Swift performed in the Australian city.
Swift’s team has now claimed through a spokesperson that the photographer behaved in an “aggressive” manner toward the celebrity and her group.
As per The Mirror, the singer’s rep said, “Two individuals were aggressively pushing their way towards Taylor, grabbing at her security personnel, and threatening to throw a female staff member into the water.”
In a statement, officers from the North Shore Police Area Command confirmed the incident. However, they refused to reveal the people involved. They stated they were investigating an “alleged assault after a 71-year-old man allegedly assaulted a 51-year-old man at Neutral Bay Wharf” at about 2.30 a.m. local time. The statement reads, “The younger man reported the incident and inquiries are now underway by officers attached to North Shore Police Area Command. The man did not require medical treatment.”
Meanwhile, Swift’s Eras Tour shows concluded this week at Sydney’s Accor Stadium. “We have had the most wonderful time. I’ve got to tell you that,” the singer said on stage. “You are here in one of the most exciting cities in the world, and you chose to hang out with us. Thanks guys!”
