Nicole Kidman has a restraining order against the same photographer, Ben mcDonald.

😮 what! Omg!

[@slej2502]

He should be fired for being so unprofessional.

[@Sufferingsassafrass]

[@bonitahamilton5762]

All these years, Taylor has been a star and no problems w these devil's..until now! I think about Princess Diana! Get em Papa Swift! Hit em again! Protect our girl!!❤❤

[@brooke9225]

​@@KileyOhl yeah the same guy was given a restraining order after he was caught installing listening devices outside her home in Australia

[@douglaswild3852]

Sounds like a money grab. Paparazzi are WAY too aggressive!! Way to go Dad’ 👍🏼

[@LAWOODSTORIES]

He did what he had to do as a Dad to protect his daughter. Good job Scott! 👍

[@merranbrown2886]

Let me tell you, as an Aussie, the Australian Papparazzi can be boofheads and aggressive. I would believe Scott over Papps anyday. Besides, don’t you think Taylor has given Aust enough.

[@dfogarty1897]

I agree. She had to stimulate the economy and it made big big news her arrival as well as the arrival of her boyfriend but now that she’s gone they’re gonna make big news of her dad and all this negative publicity. Shame on the Australian media.

[@Maria-pj4ti]

The best Dad that could ever we want to have..go Mr Swift that's your right to protect your daugther 👏👏👏👏

[@susansnyder9271]

Thank you Mr Swift for protecting Taylor!!! You are awesome. We love the Swift family! Security detail, please tighten it up.

[@dunkingpawn3215]

This photographer McDonald is a menace and repeat offender, jail him now.

[@atariplayer3686]

Mr. Swift is probably one of the Best Dads ever... He has every right to protect his daughter, unlike many dads that neglect and let their child get hurt. 👍👍👏👏💪💪

[@ronaldronz4599]

Never heard of Beyonce's dad doing that...sounds like Taylor's dad (& new bf) have zero class.

[@atariplayer3686]

@ronaldronz4599 Sounds like you have not been around for long in the real world. Random people will target your family member for their own personal gain... Paparazzis are known to go very far in order to make the perfect magazine cover shot!

Well if the pap was harassing security personal as well as harassing taylor and no adherence to her personal space then I as I father would the same and officers should understand that this is just a way for the pap to get five minutes of fame and photos like he should be charged for invasion of privacy an get a court order to keep him away from them

[@ameliamorgan9800]

Exactly - and how is it that there were no photos of the punch?!?!? There were other paparazzi there and surely were pointed in exactly that direction. Completely made up story for a money grab.

[@user-qf7ud5de9h]

People who want to harass and provoke, will succumb to their own device😅 Listen to Karma lyrics

[@lordgrace5404]

Good on you Dad Swift....the same Paparazzi actually did same to Nicole Kidman. Why the news title seemed against Dad who was protecting her daughter?

[@nancylasocki7446]

There’s too many weirdos out there! Kudos to her dad protecting her!

[@jm11528]

Correction “Father defends daughter from violent stalker.”

what a creep, stay away from Taylor Mr creep. Way to go Dad.

[@chuckycheese84]

Just a loving Dad protecting his daughter

[@maribiddle5859]

👏👏👏👏to Scott Swift!! Protect your daughter!!

[@SundayzCrows33]

Why are the Australian preying Paparazzi out at 2.30am on a week night on a wharf when most of Sydney is asleep!!! They are the ones who should be charged, they where literally harassing and abusing Taylor’s privacy. Seriously there should be laws in place to stop this kind of creepy and uninvited behaviour from anyone not just celebrities. It’s unlawful and unacceptable to prey on someone’s privacy. She certainly didn’t invite them to take photos, it was more like an ambush. I truly hope NSW police treat this matter with upmost respect towards Taylor, her father and her crew.

[@hsd287]

That doesn't mean u hurt someone Taylor wasn't even ambushed or touched

[@Starbuxlvr1313]

Oh naur!!! Go Scott!! You are not going to mess with his baby!

[@sanderella1642]

I was at her show that night. I was exhausted after but she was still awake at 2:30 am ??? Soooo much energy!!!

[@Kingj2real]

I am soo over paparazzi being stalkers harassing people to any means and then crying poor me when they get what’s coming

[@irislwin1568]

Where are her body guards ?

It's literally in the video. Is Facebook down or something?

[@Breeanna73]

The thing is her father was drunk and rude at a bar where it happened in Sydney

[@bees.857]

Good evening Everyone!❤🤝💯

[@xjbsq1793]

keeping oneself from breach of privacy or others' interference is one of basic human rights still valid in times of NEW TESTAMENT too. .Point is,, there is no regulation or law that "you shouldn't use punch or slapping face " when somenoe interfere your privacy to intolerable standard, though the question still remains about the degree of violence, compared to the degree of interference.,. But it is considred as long custom of entertainment industries that no entertainers are to sue paparazzis or photographers as long as the annoyance is not intolerable standard for no celebrities can make big wealth, not known to people that is contribution of paparazzis or photographers. POINT IS,, they'd better be generous to a little annoyance of paparazzis as long as the annoyance is not intolerable standard.

[@user-zh2el9ls9f]

Leave Papa Swift alone the pap is just a money grabbing clown let them have their own lives

[@dancemaniac3868]

Go after Taylor's dad and she'll never perform in Australia again.

[@melissavidal6547]

The paparazzi chase.her like they did with Brittany Spears...sad.. her dad did the right thing 😊

[@tsokoolet]

Lol. Taylor will never go back to AU. That photographer should know that he is already too much in terms of pushing himself to Taylor. Either way, they want that. They want attention and money, this is kind of like the consequences of being a celebrity. Attracting even those not really a fan. Leaving us behind, those that has been a true fan, spreading the word and influencing the other people. The last part was just me. 😂

[@heatherthompson8878]

Well while its not cool to use violence she also puts herself in danger by being so public maybe she should humble herself a bit and just lay low for a while

[@LAPolarBear]

What a stupid comment. She has to move between places. She's on tour. Princess Diana is an example of what happens if the paparazzi is allowed to do as they please. Keep a respectable distance and there wouldn't be an issue. Famous person or not.

[@ishbahmalik7675]
