Taylor Swift hopped on a private jet after her father, Scott Swift, was accused of assault.
Photographer Ben McDonald, 51, told an outlet that he heard the blonde beauty, 34, was on a yacht at the Syndey Harbor after her final show in the British Commonwealth on Monday, February 26.
According to McDonald, a bodyguard allegedly forced an umbrella in his face before Scott, 71, punched him. McDonald said that the interaction with Scott was “aggressive and unprofessional.”
