‘No words for how awesome Scott Swift is,’ one fan gushed and a second person added: ‘I started crying. What a deserving mum.’
The 71-year-old’s kind act came just hours before he was accused of striking photographer 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 Swift’s team say an Australian photographer ‘threatened to throw a female staff member into the water’, before her father Scott was accused of punching the man in the face.

Scott and Taylor had travelled from Homebush on a luxury superyacht called Quantum – Footage from the moments before the alleged altercation showed Scott walking up the 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.
He said the altercation was caught on camera and did not show the photographers acting aggressively.
An investigation into the alleged incident has been launched by the North Shore Police Command.
Earlier on Tuesday, the photographer accused Scott of ‘charging’ at him once he was off the superyacht with Taylor.
