Taylor Swift: But no lawsuit against her father

Taylor Swift’s (34) father Scott Kingsley Swift (71) was lucky again. At the end of February, the 71-year-old was involved in a physical altercation with a paparazzo in Sydney. The Australian photographer then filed a complaint alleging bodily harm. Now New South Wales Police have said they will take no further action following an investigation into the incident.

What happened in Sydney?

According to the report, the altercation occurred in Sydney in the morning hours of February 27th (local time). Taylor Swift played her last Australian “The Eras Tour” show there that evening. The singer is said to have previously traveled with her father Scott on a luxury yacht from Homebush to the ferry pier in Neutral Bay. Photographers were already lurking there.

Swift’s father and her security guards then camouflaged the singer with a large umbrella to protect her. The photographers are said to have been very pushy and aggressive, as a spokesperson for Taylor Swift reported at the end of February. “Two individuals aggressively pushed toward Taylor, grabbed her security guards, and threatened to throw a female staff member into the water.”

Father Scott then allegedly attacked one of the photographers and gave him the middle finger. The latter can actually be seen in a photo obtained by the Daily Mail.
