Taylor Swift has jetted out of Australia after her father Scott was accused of assaulting a local photographer on Tuesday morning.
The American singer’s private jet was seen leaving Sydney Airport just hours after the alleged incident.
The global megastar, 34, performed her final Eras Tour concert in the city on Monday night.
The Bombardier Global 6000, which both Taylor used to fly to Australia, was seen taxiing down the runway at around midday.
Taylor’s team and her father are all thought to be onboard.
Taylor travelled Down Under for seven sell-out concerts across Melbourne and Sydney, which came to an end on Monday night, and she has a few days off before she will return to the stage in Singapore on March 2.
Her departure comes just hours after her father Scott Swift, 71, was accused of striking Ben McDonald, 51, at a ferry wharf in the suburb of Neutral Bay at about 2.30am on Tuesday, after the Australian leg of her Eras tour wrapped up.
Taylor’s team said the photographer ‘threatened to throw a female staff member into the water’.
Taylor and Scott had travelled from Homebush on a luxury superyacht called Quantum before the alleged assault.
Footage from the moments before the alleged altercation showed Scott walking up wharf while giving photographers the middle finger.
A spokeswoman for Taylor Swift told Daily Mail Australia the photographers were being ‘aggressive’.
‘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,’ she said.
However, Mr McDonald – the chief executive of Matrix Media Group – slammed the statement as ‘utter rubbish’ and said the only female at the scene was Taylor.
‘This is the sort of bulls**t I might expect,’ he said. ‘Which female was that? The only one there was Taylor.’
Mr McDonald said the altercation was caught on camera and did not show the photographers acting aggressively.
American singer Taylor Swift arrived in Singapore on Tuesday (Feb 27) ahead of her six sold-out concerts.
She arrived on private jet VJT993 at the Seletar Airport from Sydney, Australia, touching down at about 5.05pm.
Swift was shielded by umbrellas as she was whisked off under heavy security to a convoy of cars.
Around 60 people had gathered at the airport to catch a glimpse of the pop icon, who will perform at the Nartional Stadium on March 2 to 4, and March 7 to 9.
Singapore is the only Southeast Asian stop on her Eras Tour.
