Scott Swift, father of global pop sensation Taylor Swift, has been cleared of police charges following allegations of assaulting a photographer during his daughter's Australian tour. New South Wales police concluded their investigation into the incident at Neutral Bay Wharf in Sydney, confirming no further action would be taken against Swift.

Photographer Ben McDonald had accused Scott Swift of striking him in the face on February 27, shortly after Taylor Swift's Australian tour concluded. The alleged altercation occurred as the Swifts departed a yacht, following the final leg of the Eras Tour dates in Sydney.

While the incident garnered attention, Taylor Swift's representative previously criticized media members for their aggressive behavior towards the singer during the encounter. Despite the accusations, Scott Swift will not face legal repercussions, as the police found insufficient evidence to proceed with charges.

Veteran photographer Ben McDonald described the encounter as a "punch in the chops," though he stated it did not require medical attention. With the investigation closed, the matter appears to have reached its conclusion, allowing both parties to move forward from the incident.
