Taylor Swift is currently busy with her Era’s Tour. She will soon be in Singapore after a number of shows in Australia. She made beautiful memories there again, but unfortunately also some problems. Or well, Taylor’s father: he is accused of assault by an Australian photographer. Wait, what? The local police have started an investigation, so Taylor’s father will still be affected by this for a while. Fortunately, he does receive support from her fans, who take his side en masse.
Taylor Swift’s father accused of assault
When you are as world famous as Taylor Swift, you naturally have to deal with photographers. Paparazzi are eager to get a new, recent snapshot of the singer. And in some countries the press photographers are even more active, such as in Australia. The world star performed there in Melbourne and Sydney over the past two weekends. Although she also enjoys the country in between with her boyfriend Travis Kelce and her parents Andrea and Scott Swift (71). They also continuously support the singer by always accompanying her to performances. Her father in particular can often be seen in Taylor’s presence, including on the evening in question in Australia. After Taylor’s concert on Monday evening, her father allegedly punched an Australian photographer who was present at her private yacht. In fact, the photographer is so serious about the matter that he has charged Taylor’s father with assault. OMG!
Constantly followed by paparazzi
So the situation with Taylor’s 71-year-old father happens the night after her concert in Sydney. Around 2:30 a.m., 51-year-old Australian photographer Ben McDonald photographed her private yacht, where she was at the time. The moment the group, including Taylor and her father, left the boat, the photographer was sent away by a security guard. That would have been the moment Taylor’s father punched him in the face. However, a spokesperson for Taylor said the photographer and a second person grabbed the security staff. They then threatened to “throw a female staff member into the water”. The spokesperson cannot say whether Taylor’s father intervened afterwards.
By the way, Taylor was continuously followed by paparazzi during her stay in Australia. Australian photographers also go quite far in this regard. For example, they also took drone images during a date of Taylor and Travis and someone photographed Travis while he stood in front of the window of their hotel room. Wait, what? At one point, Taylor is so fed up with the paparazzi that she walks next to her father with an umbrella over her head.
Fans support Scott
The singer has now left the country again. She travels to Singapore for her Era’s Tour and her father is along. Nevertheless, the investigation by the Australian police into the alleged assault continues. We’ll have to wait and see how that investigation turns out. In any case, Taylor’s father can count on a lot of support from Taylor’s fans. Her Swifties are supporting Scott en masse. This way they understand if Scott has reacted quite angrily. “You stalked her until the last second and then you expect her father not to push you away?” someone writes. “Scott Swift, thank you for protecting your daughter.”
