On the morning of February 27, Pagesix reported that Mr. Scott Swift, Taylor Swift’s father, is currently being investigated by the police for allegedly assaulting paparazzi. According to the source, the incident occurred in the early morning of February 27 (local time) at a pier when Taylor Swift and her father went to celebrate after the Eras Tour concert in Sydney, Australia. In the video published by TMZ, Scott and Taylor encountered paparazzi while exiting a yacht. The journalist’s lens suddenly shook and it is believed that this was the moment when the assault occurred.
A paparazzi named Ben McDonald confirmed that he was attacked by Mr. Scott Swift, and claimed that there was no provocation: “I was punched on the left side of my face. After that, Mr. Scott probably had severe pain in his jaw. I felt like I had to protect his daughter for some reason, but I never made any move to provoke him. During my 23 years as a paparazzi, I have never encountered a situation like that.”
The media has just released a clip of the incident. At that time, the bodyguard accompanied Taylor to the car to prepare to attend the party to celebrate the success of the concert.
