00:00 Taylor Swift's father, Scott Swift, will not face charges in Australia after an
00:04 alleged altercation with a paparazzo in February. The New South Wales police
00:08 confirmed to multiple outlets that an investigation was launched into the
00:11 incident and concluded that no further police action would be taken. Last month,
00:15 a paparazzi photographer named Ben MacDonald claimed that he had been
00:18 involved with an altercation with the pop star's father as she disembarked a
00:21 yacht in the early morning hours at the Sydney Harbour. At the time, Ben had
00:24 described it as a "punch in the chops". However, Taylor's spokesperson had issued
00:28 a statement obtained by Access Hollywood which read, "Two individuals were
00:32 aggressively pushing their way towards Taylor, grabbing at her security
00:35 personnel and threatening to throw a female staff member into the water." The
00:38 superstar was in Australia as part of the international leg of the heiress
00:42 tour. Taylor began her Australian tour in Melbourne, breaking her own records as
00:45 she said in a moment caught on fan video that the total attendance of her three
00:49 Melbourne shows would amount to 288,000 people.
00:54 "The biggest show that we have done on this tour or any tour I have ever done. 96,000 people the first night, 96,000 people the second night, 96,000 people tonight. All of that is, those are all the biggest shows I've ever played on a tour."
01:13 "The math is that it's 288,000 people in three nights. Melbourne, you are the love of my life."
01:29 She then made her way to Sydney and was joined by many A-listers including Rita
01:33 Ora, Katy Perry and of course her NFL star boyfriend Travis Kelce. The star
01:37 studded audience members shared clips showing off just how much fun they had.
