Taylor Swift Critic Takes Another Swipe at Her Private Jet Usage After TTPD Drop
Celebrity movements are tracked even closer than stock market fluctuations, and one name seems to be on everyone’s lips — and it’s not just because of her questionable lyrics in “I Hate It Here” or her headline-dominating romance with Travis Kelce. Yes, Taylor Swift has become the inescapable epicenter of, well, every conversation, but there’s one TTPD that isn’t about The Tortured Poets Department — it’s Taylor’s Transcontinental Plane Drama.
Jack Sweeney, known for his eagle-eye tracking of billionaires’ private jet flight patterns, has brought something astonishing to light. His latest video reveals that Swift’s planes jetted off an impressive 178,000 miles through 2023 — the equivalent of circling the globe about seven times in a single year. While a majority of this was for her Eras tour, there were plenty of times she traveled across the world on a dime to see Kelce during rare moments of downtime. This revelation has not only wowed with the sheer scale of Swift’s travels but also reignited discussions on the environmental impact of such frequent flying.
Now, this video has sparked quite the comment section. One user quipped, “And here I am suffering with a paper straw that breaks after 2 sips…” highlighting the juxtaposition between everyday efforts to be eco-friendly and the massive carbon footprint of celebrity jet-setting. Another added, “She had more plane rides in a year than my entire family combined for 4 generations,” bringing home the scale of Swift’s travel in a way that’s both humorous and thought-provoking.
There was also a playful yet insightful call to action from the community, one that cheekily highlights the environmental responsibilities often shifted onto everyday folks — responsibilities that, in all fairness, should be tackled by the bigger players causing most of the environmental impact. “If every Swiftie reduces their carbon footprint we might be able to balance Taylor’s emissions,” quipped one fan.
Swift’s camp has kept mum on this latest wave of scrutiny, though they’ve previously addressed Sweeney’s tracking projects with a cease and desist for what they termed “stalking and harassing behavior.” Despite this, Swift’s team has underscored her involvement in various environmental causes and efforts to offset her tours’ carbon footprint. However, as climate change discussions grow more urgent, even adored celebrities like Swift are scrutinized by fans eager for accountability.
