A spokesperson for Taylor Swift has reacted to the recent altercation involving the singer's father Scott Swift and an Australian photographer. The incident was reported by the Australian media on Tuesday morning where it was alleged that <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/taylor-swifts-father-scott-swift-accused-of-assaulting-paparazzi-in-australia-694187">Scott had assaulted a photographer</a> on Sydney's North Shore hours after Swift's latest performance. 
 
Now, a spokesperson for the singer has given the other side of the story and stated that "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."&nbsp; 
 
Police statement on the incident 
 
The local police, in a statement to PEOPLE, said that they were investigating an "alleged assault after a 71-year-old man allegedly assaulted a 51-year-old man at Neutral Bay Wharf" around 2:30 am&nbsp;local time on Tuesday. 
 
"The younger man reported the incident and inquiries are now underway by officers attached to North Shore Police Area Command. The man did not require medical treatment," according to police. 
 
The identities of the two individuals were not specified by the police.&nbsp;

Scott has been a regular feature on his daughter's record-breaking tour since it first kicked off last spring. Over the weekend, he was seen handing out food to fans and mingling with Swift's boyfriend, Travis Kelce, and actor Rebel Wilson who were in attendance at the concert.&nbsp;

Swift's Eras Tour Concert in Australia 
 
Swift wrapped up her fourth and final Eras Tour show at Sydney's Accor Stadium on Monday night. "We have had the most wonderful time. I've got to tell you that," the Grammy winner said onstage. "You are here in one of the most exciting cities in the world, and you chose to hang out with us. Thanks guys!"

Last year in March, when she began her now iconic tour, Swift shared a photo of a backstage pass she had made for her dad.&nbsp;

"D.O.H. Pass (Dad of Headliner)," read the "all access" pass. "Made my Dad's tour credential," Swift captioned the snap. "We are a small family business." 
 
Earlier this month, Scott — along with Swift's mom Andrea and brother Austin — also accompanied Swift to the Super Bowl, where they cheered on Kelce and his team, the Kansas City Chiefs as they took home another championship.

Soon after the Super Bowl, the singer flew to Melbourne to kickstart the Australia leg of her Eras Tour concert. She played a string of three shows in Melbourne before moving to Sydney.&nbsp; 
 
The singer will now resume her tour in Singapore from March 2 onwards. Swift is scheduled to perform six shows there.&nbsp;

Taylor Swift's spokesperson reacts to her father's alleged altercation with a photographer

Die-hard Taylor Swift fans flocked to a Melbourne stadium early Friday, snapping up merchandise hours before the first Australian date of her money-raking, two-year-long "Eras" tour.&nbsp;

The 34-year-old megastar kicks off seven Australia shows in Melbourne on Friday, the first of three stadium gigs in the city, before heading to Sydney for four more sell-out dates.&nbsp;

"The Eras Tour", which takes fans through the Swift discography, is predicted to be the highest-grossing musical tour of all time, netting about US$1 billion in ticket sales, according to Pollstar, a trade publication. 
 
"The main thing that got me into her was probably the lyrics and how I can relate them to so many different situations", said 21-year-old Australian fan Kendra Harris, who has been waiting months to see her hero in the flesh.&nbsp;

"I also love how she's so communicative with fans. She posts a lot of things on her social media and will comment on people's TikToks, so it feels like she truly knows you," said Harris.

"She definitely has a close relationship with fans. I know she used to invite fans to her house to listen to the album early, so I feel like doing things like that just shows how much she cares."

With many fans coming from overseas or inter-state and tickets hard to come by, hotel groups are offering ticket-and-lodging packages that run into the thousands of dollars.

- Surprise songs - 
 
Fans were gearing up for the concerts by creating Swift-themed friendship bracelets, preparing outfits and learning "fan chants" to belt out during performances.&nbsp;

Bead kits have reportedly sold out in some Melbourne and Sydney stores, as fans have rushed to make the bracelets, which are traditionally traded before shows.

"I've made like six or seven, but I would like to make a few more before the concert ... you trade them with people and I think people just give them if you don't have any," said Harris.

Many concert outfits will be inspired by Swift's self-described "Eras", her transformation through a range of musical genres, from country to pop.&nbsp;

Following last year's re-release of her album "1989", Swift has made around US$500 million from streaming royalties and music purchases such as tracks, albums, CDs, LPs and cassettes, according to Billboard.&nbsp;

"I saw the 'Eras Tour' movie in cinemas and that just made me even more excited, it looks amazing and I'm excited to hear what surprise songs we get as well," said Harris.&nbsp;

Swift, whose hits include "Shake It Off", "Blank Space" and "You Need to Calm Down", performs an acoustic set on piano and guitar, while featuring two surprise songs not on the official setlist.

Promotion for the tour has been as carefully choreographed as the performance on stage, and helped by Swift recently scooping her fourth "Album of the Year" prize at the Grammys, followed by a much-hyped appearance at the Super Bowl, where she cheered on boyfriend Travis Kelce of the winning Kansas City Chiefs.

The power of Taylor Swift has even seeped into academia, with the University of Melbourne holding a "Swiftposium" to discuss her influence across a range of disciplines.

"Fans view her a lot more as the friend-next-door than they do as a billionaire superpower, which is the reality of what she is," sociologist Georgia Carroll told the gathering.
