Explosive allegations have rocked the world of Taylor Swift after her father, Scott Swift, was accused of attacking a photographer following the singer’s final Australian concert.

Cops are scrambling to investigate claims that the 71-year-old struck paparazzo Ben McDonald, 51, in the face early Tuesday morning. The incident allegedly occurred as Taylor and her entourage were departing a luxurious superyacht after celebrating the successful tour stop.

McDonald, a veteran in the industry, claims he was simply trying to capture a photo of the singer when the alleged assault happened. He stated, “It was just a shocking punch in the face. Thankfully, no serious injuries, but it’s the principle of the thing! In 23 years, I’ve never been assaulted by a celebrity’s dad, especially not after trying to do my job respectfully.”

However, Taylor’s camp paints a different picture. A representative released a statement claiming aggressive behavior from members of the media, stating they were “shoving their way towards Taylor and threatening her staff.”

The truth remains shrouded in mystery, as both sides present conflicting narratives. With police currently investigating, fans are left reeling from the unexpected altercation.
