Taylor Swift, known for hits such as “Shake it Off” and “Blank Space”, is a symbol of American pop music. However, in the last year she has been much talked about not only because of her musical achievements. The artist’s frequent travels by private jet have sparked much debate and criticism about the environmental impact of her activities.
Theoretically, Taylor is a supporter of environmental protection…
Interestingly, celebrities with the largest carbon footprint, but it is she who attracts public attention. Why? This may be due to her enormous popularity and activity on social media, where her every move is widely commented on. Her statements about environmental protection also add fuel to the fire. In his statements, he describes climate change as “one of the most terrifying situations plaguing our world.” It’s hard not to be tempted to accuse hypocrisy here. Below we have included a video showing all of her flights from last year.
The Taylor jet produces a huge amount of CO2, but sometimes it is also borrowed!
In 2023, although she did not tour extensively, her aircraft recorded a significant number of flights that resulted in the emission of approximately 1,200 tons of carbon dioxide. This corresponds, sources say, to circling the Earth approximately seven times. He had already looked at Taylor Swift’s travels earlier in 2022. It was then calculated that hers the average jet flight lasts only 80 minutes, covering an average distance of 230.36 km. This seems extremely inefficient, especially compared to alternative means of transport that could significantly reduce the carbon footprint. Private jets emit approximately 50 times more CO2 per kilometer than train travel and 14 times more than commercial flights.
The artist does not comment on accusations of excessive environmental pollution. However, in response to the criticism, Swift’s spokesperson said that the artist was trying to offset her CO2 emissions. He also noted that the plane is sometimes “lent” to others, which may introduce some confusion in attributing the total number of flights directly to Swift.
Ultimately, whether she is on board for every flight or not, her case sheds light on the broader issue of ecological responsibility and the need to strive for a more sustainable way of life for the famous and wealthy.
