Taylor Swift’s supporting act Sabrina Carpenter keeps a low profile as she leaves Sydney after the Blank Space singer’s father is accused of assaulting a photographer in Australia
Sabrina Carpenter kept a low profile as she left Sydney on Thursday after supporting Taylor Swift on her Australian Eras tour.
The singer’s departure comes two days after Taylor, 34, and her entourage left Sydney after her father Scott was accused of assaulting a photographer on Tuesday morning.
To stay comfortable on the long flight ahead, Sabrina, 24, wore a long-sleeved polo sweater and Nike track pants.
She finished her look with a pair of brown platform boots and swept her golden locks under a beige baseball cap.
Sabrina also wore a white face mask as she strolled through the airport ahead of the long-haul flight. She will reunite with Taylor to continue the Eras tour in Singapore on March 2.

The 24-year-old singer was spotted at Sydney Airport on Thursday morning, keeping it casual in a long-sleeved polo sweater and Nike track pants.
Ahead of her travels, Sabrina also took to Instagram to share a gallery of snaps from her visit Down Under while talking about her favorite moments.
She shared photos of herself on stage, as well as photos of herself posing with animals at the zoo and sightseeing.
She captioned the post: ‘Sydney Eras tour <3 thank you for being so kind to us!! Special call to hug this snake I met and Jonah Hill, sorry about your coffee man.”
Her departure comes just two days after Taylor left Sydney Airport by private jet, hours after her Eras tour wrapped on Monday night.
After the Australian leg of the tour wrapped, Taylor’s father Scott Swift was accused of assaulting a local photographer early Tuesday morning.

Sabrina supported Taylor on her sold-out Australian tour, appearing on stage for seven shows in Melbourne and Sydney, and will perform again in Singapore on March 2.
Scott, 71, was accused of punching Ben McDonald, 51, at about 2.30am on Tuesday at a ferry terminal in the suburb of Neutral Bay.
Taylor and Scott, affectionately known as Papa Swift, had traveled from Homebush on a luxury superyacht called Quantum.
Footage from the moments before the alleged altercation showed Scott walking onto the dock while giving photographers the middle finger.
A spokeswoman for Taylor Swift told Daily Mail Australia the photographers were “aggressive.”
“Two individuals aggressively pushed their way towards Taylor, grabbed her security staff and threatened to throw a female staff member into the water,” she said.
However, Mr McDonald – the CEO of Matrix Media Group – branded the statement “complete nonsense” and said Taylor was the only woman at the scene.

Mr McDonald said: ‘This is the kind of bulls**t I would expect. Which woman was that? The only one there was Taylor.”
Mr McDonald said the altercation was caught on camera and did not show the photographers behaving aggressively.
The North Shore Police Command has launched an investigation into the alleged incident.
Earlier on Tuesday, the photographer accused Scott of “assaulting” him while he was off the superyacht with Taylor.
He initially thought it was a security guard and was shocked to realize the alleged attacker was the pop star’s father.
“In 23 years of taking pictures, I’ve never seen anything like this,” he said.
It comes after Taylor’s father Scott (both pictured), 71, was accused of punching Ben McDonald, 51, at a ferry terminal in the suburb of Neutral Bay at around 2.30am on Tuesday.
“She got off the boat and walked towards the guards who were shoving umbrellas in our faces.”
Footage of the alleged incident showed Taylor and her father leaving the dock with large umbrellas blocking the view.
Mr McDonald started filming when a security guard was heard telling him not to touch the umbrella.
The camera shook 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 suffer permanent injuries, but has “very painful chops” on the left side of his face.
Taylor traveled Down Under for seven sold-out concerts in Melbourne and Sydney, and she has a few days off before taking the stage again in Singapore on March 2.
Scott was a fixture at his daughter’s side during her sold-out Eras tour.
He has been praised for handing out sandwiches to fans in the middle of a show in Sydney and saying ‘help yourself’.
Additional tickets were released the day before Taylor’s first show in Melbourne earlier this month, but most had limited views of the stage.
Scott walked around handing out VIP passes so that excited fans would have access to better seats.
