After her father Scott was charged on Tuesday morning with assaulting a local photographer, Taylor Swift left Australia quickly.
A few hours after the purported incident, the American singer’s private jet was spotted taking off from Sydney Airport.
The 34-year-old worldwide superstar gave her final Eras Tour performance in the city on Monday night.
Around noon, Taylor and her boyfriend Travis Kelce were spotted taxiing down the runway in their Bombardier Global 6000 aircraft, which they used to travel to Australia.
It is believed that Taylor’s father and team are on board.
After seven sold-out shows in Melbourne and Sydney, Taylor traveled to Australia. Her tour ended on Monday night, and she will now take a few days off before performing again in Singapore on March 2.
Her departure occurs shortly after the Australian portion of her Eras tour concluded, and only hours after her father Scott Swift, 71, was charged with assaulting Ben McDonald, 51, at a ferry pier in the suburb of Neutral Bay at around 2.30am on Tuesday.
According to Taylor’s team, Scott made ‘threats to hurl a female staff member into the sea’ before he allegedly struck an Australian photojournalist in the face.
Prior to the alleged аssаult, Taylor and Scott had taken a luxurious superyacht named Quantum from Homebush.
Before the reported altercation, Scott was seen in video coming along the wharf and throwing the middle finger to the photographers.
‘аggressive’ was the word used by a Taylor Swift spokesperson to describe the photographers’ actions to Daily Mail Australia.
Taylor reported that two people were pushing their way in an аggressive manner, pulling at her security guards and threatening to throw a female employee into the lake.
The only woman present at the scene, according to Matrix Media Group CEO Mr. McDonald, was Taylor, who attacked the statement as “utter rubbish.”
He remarked, “This is the kind of bulls**t I might expect.” What kind of woman was that? Taylor was the sole person present.
According to Mr. McDonald, the cоnfrоntatiоn was captured on camera and did not depict the photographers behaving violently.
The North Shore Police Command has opened an inquiry into the reported incident.
Before, the photographer said that Scott had started “charging” at him after leaving the superyacht with Taylor.
When he discovered the purported attacker was the pop star’s father, he was taken aback since he had initially assumed it was a security officer.
Mr. McDonald added that he was unsure of what precipitated the purported аttаck.
“I have taken pictures for 23 years, and I have never seen anything like it,” he remarked.
“She walked towards the security guards who were shoving umbrellas in our faces after getting off the boat.”
Taylor and her father were seen in the video of the purported incident approaching the pier while carrying big umbrellas that obscured their view.
When Mr. McDonald heard someone instructing him not to touch the umbrella, he opened fire.
Something moved under the umbrella and the camera jerkeԀ
It was the sound of a security guard saying, “That wasn’t me, that wasn’t me.”
‘Who was that?’ inquired Mr. McDonald.
After that, he reported the purported incident at the The Rocks police station.
Mr. McDonald has “very sоre chops” on the left side of his face, but he did not require medical attention and does not think he will suffer any long-term problems.
Scott has been a constant by his daughter’s side during her completely booked tour of Eras.
He received appreciation for giving away sandwiches to supporters during a Sydney performance and telling them to “help yourselves.”
Additional tickets were made available the day before Taylor’s first Melbourne gig earlier this month, albeit the majority only offered a restricted view of the stage.
In order to provide enthusiastic supporters with access to better seats, Scott went about giving them VIP passes.
