The pop star played her final Sydney show last night, wrapping up her seven-night Australian tour.
"Police are investigating an alleged assault on Sydney's North Shore this morning," NSW Police said in a statement.
"Police have been told a 71-year-old man allegedly assaulted a 51-year-old man at Neutral Bay Wharf about 2.30am, before leaving the location.
"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."
Swift's representatives released a statement to US entertainment publication People, claiming the man was threatening members of Swift's team before the incident.
"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," a spokesperson for Swift said.
Swift appears to have been hidden under an umbrella while the alleged incident unfolded.
