Taylor Swift’s camp hits back at claims her dad Scott assaulted photographers in Australia

Taylor Swift’s camp has spoken out after the singer’s father was accused of assaulting a paparazzo while the pair were out in Australia early Tuesday morning.

The megastar’s dad, Scott Swift, allegedly slugged a photographer at Sydney’s ferry wharves as the “Cruel Summer” hitmaker was exiting a yacht.

Local police did not confirm that it was the singer’s father but said that a 71-year-old man allegedly assaulted a 51-year-old man at Neutral Bay Wharf at about 2:30 a.m., a New South Wales police spokesperson said.

However, a spokesperson for Swift has since set the record straight in a statement to Page Six.

“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,” the singer’s camp said.

The alleged victim, who reported the incident, did not require any medical treatment, cops added.

The photographer said he didn’t understand what prompted the alleged violent outburst.

“It was a shock … There was no need for it, the security had it under control,” he told News.com.au. “I’ll leave it in the police’s hands now.”

The 14-time Grammy winner wrapped up her final Eras Tour performance in Sydney on Monday.

More than 600,000 tickets were sold to her seven shows in Melbourne and Sydney, including three sold-out shows at the Melbourne Cricket Ground with a record audience of 96,000 fans each night.

One of those die-hard fans was her boyfriend Travis Kelce, who flew all the way to Australia to watch her perform after enjoying a wholesome day out at the Sydney Zoo earlier on.

His trip to Sydney was a short one, as he was seen flying back to the US the following day.

On Tuesday, the singer’s luxe private jet was spotted taxiing down the runway at Sydney Airport around midday, just hours after the alleged altercation, the Daily Mail reported.

It is thought that Swift and her team, as well as her father, were on board.

The pop star now has a few days off to recover ahead of her return to the stage in Singapore on March 2 for the next leg of her sold-out world tour.
