Sabrina Carpenter kept a low-profile as she jetted out of Sydney on Thursday after supporting Taylor Swift on the n leg of her Eras Tour.

Taylor, 34, and her entourage left Sydney two days earlier, after her father Scott was accused of assaulting a local photographer on Tuesday morning.

Keeping comfortable for the long flight ahead, Sabrina, 24, wore a long-sleeved polo jumper and Nike tracksuit bottoms.

She completed her look with a pair of brown platform boots and swept her golden locks beneath a beige baseball cap.

Sabrina also wore a white face mask as she strolled through the airport ahead of her long-haul flight. She will reunite with Taylor to continue the Eras Tour in Singapore on March 2.

Ahead of her travels, Sabrina took to Instagram to share a gallery of snaps from her visit Down Under as she gushed over her favourite moments.

She shared photographs of herself on stage, as well as images of herself posing with animals at the zoo and doing a spot of sightseeing.

She captioned the post: ‘Sydney Eras tour <3 thank you for being so so kind to us!! Special shout-out to cuddles this snake I met and Jonah hill sorry about your coffee man.'

Her departure comes two days after Taylor left Sydney Airport via private jet, hours after wrapping up her Eras Tour on Monday night.

After the n leg of the tour wrapped up, Taylor’s father Scott Swift was accused of assaulting a local photographer in the early hours of Tuesday morning.

Scott, 71, was accused of striking Ben McDonald, 51, at a ferry wharf in the suburb of Neutral Bay at about 2.30am on Tuesday.

Taylor and Scott, affectionately known as Papa Swift, had travelled from Homebush on a luxury superyacht called Quantum.

Footage from the moments before the alleged altercation showed Scott walking up wharf while giving photographers the middle finger. 

A spokeswoman for Taylor Swift told Daily Mail 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.

Mr McDonald said: ‘This is the sort of bulls**t I might expect. Which female was that? The only one there was Taylor.’

Mr McDonald 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.

He originally thought it was a security guard and was shocked when he realised the alleged attacker was the pop star’s father.

‘In 23 years of taking pictures, I have never seen anything like it,’ he said.

‘She got off the boat, she walked towards security guards who were shoving umbrellas in our faces.’

Footage of the alleged incident showed Taylor and her father walking up from the wharf with large umbrellas blocking the view.

Mr McDonald started filming when a security guard could be heard telling him not to touch the umbrella.

The camera jolted and there was movement from behind the umbrella.

A security guard could be heard saying, ‘that wasn’t me, that wasn’t me’.

Mr McDonald asked: ‘Who was that?’

He then went to The Rocks police station and reported the alleged incident. 

Mr McDonald did not require medical attention and does not believe he will have lasting injuries, but has ‘very sore chops’ on the left side of his face.

Taylor travelled Down Under for seven sell-out concerts across Melbourne and Sydney, and she has a few days off before she will return to the stage in Singapore on March 2

Scott has been a fixture by his daughter’s side throughout her sold-out Eras tour.

He has been praised for handing out sandwiches to fans in the middle of a Sydney show, saying ‘help yourselves’.

The day before Taylor’s first show in Melbourne earlier this month, extra tickets were released but most had a limited view of the stage.

Scott walked around handing out VIP passes so excited fans would have access to better seats.
