Taylor Swift

Taylor Swift came under fire when a marketing firm called Yard published a list ranking celebrities based on their private-jet usage.

"Taylor's jet is loaned out regularly to other individuals... Either way, the automated account "Celebrity Jets" is still tracking Taylor's jet — showing a flight from Burbank to Albany just yesterday. To attribute most or all of these trips to her is blatantly incorrect," the statement read.

On top of the list, shockingly, was singer Taylor Swift. But hold on. Recap: Kylie Jenner's Instagram post earlier this month, which featured her and Travis Scott with their private jets, drew the attention of environmental activists.

The pop star has come under fire this past weekend for being the biggest culprit in the celebrity CO2 emissions race. Stars. While yes, they're spotted out ...

Taylor Swift has, unfortunately, landed herself in the number one spot for the most CO2 emissions from a celebrity thanks to her jet being used 170 times this year between January and June. The worst part about all of this? Taylor's team, however, were very swift to dispel these figures.

When not being used to shuttle the singer between shows it is used as a catwalk. The Queen of the Skies is a double decker designed to carry up to 660 passengers. Taking 61 flights and emitting 4,465 tonnes of CO2 this year alone, he was the sixth worst offender for private jet usage. Reportedly a "present" from wife Beyoncé the jet sees plenty of use from the pair of them. The Challenger 850 registered to Jay Z was one of the busiest celebrity jets last year. With 19,296 minutes flight time for 13.4 days Jay Z and Beyonce were the Bonnie and Clyde of climate villains. The livery of his GIII with a red and white stripe and lettering is a knockout. Yeezy - subtle as ever - chooses to fly on the largest, most glamorous passenger plane ever built. The final cost is said to add up to an eye-watering $150 million. Mayweather's not abashed at sharing the inside of the plane with regular social media posts of him and The Money Team playing poker aboard the jet. The star's $40m Falcon 7X gets plenty of use and, with large 'lucky number 13' painted on the front, is easy to spot. Using flight data from chartered jets, the report compiled the travel habits of celebrities and their carbon cost.

Taylor Swift is seen boarding at Hollywood Burbank Airport in Los Angeles in exclusive photographs obtained by DailyMail.com on July 5, just days before.

The same incident happened with the plane on July 6 and July 10. Swift’s jet is being tracked by ADS B Exchange as it departs London the following day. And? That doesn’t really matter, Taylor. It follows the social media page’s exposure of Kylie Jenner on a 12-minute trip across California, which led to irate eco-warriors calling her a “climate criminal.” Swift is the only celebrity on the list to have commented on the study thus far; according to ADS B Exchange, her jet is now parked in Nashville. When Jenner uploaded a picture of what appeared to be her and Scott’s matching private jets with the caption, “you want to take mine or yours?” the internet erupted in rage. Some detractors dubbed her a “climate criminal” after hearing that she had taken a 12-minute flight on her own plane for a trip that would have have required 40 minutes in a car. The news was a vindication for Kylie Jenner, who earlier this month was called a “climate criminal” for publishing a photo of her and Travis Scott’s matching private jets. Another aircraft with Swift’s name on it was being used to travel from her family’s residence in Nashville, Tennessee, to Groton, Connecticut, where she has maintained a house since 2013, while the singer and her boyfriend were in London for the funeral. According to a study published on Friday by British digital marketing agency Yard, based on a review of private plane flights logged by the automated flight tracker Celebrity Jets, the new photos only depict one of the 170 times her private jet was used in 2022. In response to the study, the singer of “Bad Blood” said that her frequent use of a private Falcon 7X plane was brought on by other people. Swift is visible in the photos obtained by DailyMail.com concealed beneath a huge black umbrella that a member of her crew brought to her while she was still on the plane.

And in spite of the uproar, it seems that Taylor hasn’t started scaling back on her jet usage quite yet, adding 25 tons to her annual carbon emissions in just the past three days. They should all be flying commercial (and flying less).” “I don't care who’s on the plane, it shouldn't be making all those flights and producing all those emissions,” one person said in response.

The spokesperson's response to the report has sparked a host of viral tweets ribbing the star for her use of what is widely seen as a symbol of privilege and wealth. A Swift representative responded to the study by saying the frequent use of the star's Falcon 7X jet—one of two private plans said to be owned by Swift—was caused by other people flying on the aircraft. Captioning the image, Jenner wrote, "You wanna take mine or yours?" Taylor Swift has become the target of a host of tweets and memes after her spokesperson's response to a report naming her the biggest celebrity polluter because of use of her private jet.

With America's sweetheart, Taylor Swift, coming in first place, here are the top 10 worst celebrity offenders when it comes to C02 emissions from their ...

Apparently, private jets are between 5 to 14x worse than commercial planes and 50x worse for the environment than trains. Since the study was released, Taylor Swift's team has commented on the topic, defending her by saying, “Taylor’s jet is loaned out regularly to other individuals. The not-so-new topic recently flared up again after news broke that Kylie Jenner allegedly uses her private jet for flights as short as 12 minutes around the Los Angeles area instead of simply driving, or being driven.

Taylor Swift was recently crowned the top celebrity for worst private jet carbon emissions, but her team says that just isn't the case.

To attribute most or all of these trips to her is blatantly incorrect.” We’ve researched over 1,500 flights to find out, here’s what we found.” Swift is among the top with 170 private flights since January. Her says spent in the air averages out to about 16 days. They scraped data from “Celebrity Jets” to measure the “top celebrity offenders.” Yard’s website states, “We wanted to find out which celebrities have clocked up the most carbon emissions from private jet travel since the beginning of 2022. The entire private jet conversation started after Kylie Jenner uploaded a photo of her and Travis Scott standing in front of their private jets

Out of the 21 celebrities ranked in the report, in 2022 the average celebrity jet emitted 3376.64 tonnes of CO2e this year, or 482.37 times the average person's ...

The “carbon footprint” model distracts from the much bigger forces at play when it comes to climate change. “Absolutely we should not lose sight of the need to put regulations in place.” “When that infrastructure is in place, people will use it,” she says. The term, Kuhl says, was coined by British Petroleum, which also released a carbon footprint calculator in 2004. Choosing to take alternate forms of transport can have a big impact, and if you must fly, flying direct is better than choosing a flight with a layover. “The impacts of flying, even if it’s commercial flights, are really, really high.” While 57% of transport emissions come from cars, she says, flights make up 8% of emissions in the U.S., and one transatlantic flight produces more emissions than most individuals will in an entire year. Most private jet flights are relatively short: Kylie Jenner was in the air for 13 minutes on Sunday, and Floyd Mayweather, who was the second biggest offender on the list, clocked a flight at 10 minutes long this year. Since most emissions are generated during takeoff and landing, this makes these flights particularly inefficient, in addition to the fact that they generally carry few people. Deflecting blame onto consumers is a tactic used by corporate America to avoid climate action. Swift released a statement saying she regularly loans out her private jet to others. However, experts say that individuals and celebrities alike should still make climate-mindful travel choices.

A representative for the singer says her Dassault Falcon 7X is often on loan. Thus, blaming Swift for its emissions is "blatantly incorrect."

Aviation is responsible for 2.4% of human-produced CO2e every year, and research shows a vast divide between the super-rich and the rest of us regarding flights, travel, and even general emissions." Although, her representative says the over 8,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions thus far this year is not really the singer's fault, as her jet was on loan most of the time. Chris Butterworth, Digital Sustainability Director at Yard, commented on the study, American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift is the latest in line to face severe backlash over her private jet use. “Taylor’s jet is loaned out regularly to other individuals. A new report by sustainability marketing firm Yard tracking the private jet use among celebrities and released last week found that Swift’s plane has taken 170 flights between January 1 and July 19, 2022.

As of this writing, The Recording Academy has not yet officially ruled out the track's eligibility. Technically, Taylor Swift's "All Too Well (10 Minute Version)" could still be eligible for a nomination in the coveted GRAMMY category because of its new verse and lyrics. However, a new Billboard article causes confusion again after the publication noted that "All Too Well (10 Minute Version)" suggests that the song may not be eligible for the Song of the Year Award, pending The Recording Academy's final ruling.

However, Yard issued a disclaimer that the research wasn’t restricted to the biggest offenders. Taylor Swift was closely followed by Floyd Mayweather on the private jet top ten emission offenders’ list. The stated number of trips contributes to the flight’s emissions for the year. This means that Taylor Swift’s team believes that the circulated emission offenders’ list may not be entirely correct. A recent survey circulated two days ago claiming that Taylor Swift’s private plane was the number one CO2e offender. According to the survey, Taylor Swift’s private jet has embarked on 170 trips from January to July 2022.

In fact, Swift was the biggest user of a private jet, per mileage. Private jets, of course, use a great deal of fossil fuels, which can pollute the air and cause global warming.

Perhaps that’s why Swift shielded herself with a large black umbrella when the Daily Mail snapped photos of her deplaning in early July. She was reportedly returning to Los Angeles from a London funeral for her muse, Joe Alwyn’s, great-uncle. “To attribute most or all of these trips to her is blatantly incorrect,” wrote the representative. Kylie Jenner was called a “climate criminal” for her “17-minute flights,” the shortest flight being three minutes.

After Yard named Taylor Swift the worst celebrity private jet polluter of the year, Swift's spokesperson argued she didn't take most of the flights.

(Let’s not forget the time the internet thought she was carried out of her Tribeca apartment in a suitcase, the greatest conspiracy theory of 2017). Last week, a report from sustainability-driven marketing agency Yard named Taylor Swift the worst celebrity private-jet polluter of the year so far, alleging that her jet has taken 170 flights since January. In defending herself, Swift tried a similar tactic as Drake, arguing that she wasn’t even on the plane most of the time. No matter who is riding on a private jet, they’re still terrible for the environment: Because they carry so few passengers, PJs are 5 to 14 times more polluting per person than commercial planes (which already spew emissions at unconscionable rates). And, judging from new photos, Taylor has spent at least some time on her private jet recently — even if she has the good sense not to flaunt it.

It's fine to roast the singer for her jet use—and to think about the meaning of individual responsibility in the process.

Given that 1% of the world’s population is responsible for 50% of its airline emissions, banning private jets would be a great idea. If we use the blanket excuse that no individual is responsible for their actions, ever, because of capitalism, we arrive at the endpoint of excusing billionaires for taking private jets on 10-minute trips. The question of whether billionaires should exist at all in a world whose climate has been altered by income inequality is a very legitimate one. Perhaps the value in ordering a veggie burger or driving an electric car—or actions that have an even bigger carbon impact, like not flying as much—is to demonstrate to others that these choices are available, and should be part of the new world we’re building. There’s definite utility in calling out behaviors that late-stage capitalism has conditioned those of us in the West to think as normal, like eating meat with every meal or regularly going on international vacations, while also holding space for corporate and governmental accountability. “It’s hard for me to care about the carbon emissions of taking a plane trip when ExxonMobil is still in business and paying politicians,” she said. And it makes sense that folks are exhausted, when our culture loves to shift blame onto individuals rather than the corporations and systems with actual power. Even with all the writing I do each day on the climate crisis, I’m still constantly forgetting my reusable cups and straws at coffeeshops; I still take trips on planes. And they’re right: the idea of a carbon footprint was, after all, created by an oil and gas company to offload its own responsibility for the climate crisis. But it’s also an important reminder of the tension we all face at this moment in history, when capitalist systems are clearly failing to solve huge problems—are causing them, in fact—but our individual ability to do anything about it is ludicrously limited. Personal responsibility in our capitalist system means next to nothing when oil companies are logging record profits, when plastic polluters are conspiring against real reforms to our waste systems, when politicians in Washington and across the world drag their feet on real action and give freebies to oil and gas companies. One of the reasons Swift was such a surprising top rank is because she’s made a career out of relatability.

Celebrities such as Taylor Swift, Kylie Jenner and Drake have faced criticism after flight tracking data showed that their emissions-spewing private jets ...

“I’m in favor of whatever is effective to decrease the truly frivolous travel without eliminating the travel that really makes a difference.” A quick trip in a private jet emphasizes “the least efficient parts of the plane’s duty cycle,” Murphy said, noting that a huge amount of fuel is burned during takeoff and getting a plane to altitude. “Is that really the trade-off that we want to say is acceptable in a world where climate change is no longer a future crisis, but a now crisis?” There probably isn’t a benefit to “demonizing the business jets,” Field said. Then, a private jet becomes a status symbol and something that people aspire to, and that’s not what we need right now in the context of climate.” Getting rid of private jets isn’t the answer to our climate problem, experts said. “A short jump with a private jet requires lofting into the air a 10- to 20-ton jet and then moving it from point A to point B,” said Peter DeCarlo, an associate professor of environmental health and engineering at Johns Hopkins University who studies atmospheric air pollution. A report published last year by Transport & Environment, a major European clean transport campaign group, found that a single private jet can emit 2 metric tons of CO2 in just an hour. In a statement to The Washington Post, a spokesperson for Swift said: “Taylor’s jet is loaned out regularly to other individuals. “There are valid statements that grounding private jets probably isn’t going to do what we need to head in the right direction regarding climate change, but it’s just really bad optics,” DeCarlo said. … The act of taking a huge piece of metal and putting it up into the sky is going to be an enormous carbon footprint that’s really not necessary, especially for these kinds of short distances.” Music megastars Taylor Swift and Jay-Z are no strangers to being at the top of rankings.

Even though this song was released during Taylor's country era, the only thing country about it is the use of fiddles.

This timeless classic was the first to be re-released in "Taylor's Version." #1 on the Red album and #1 in our hearts. Swift addressed the media's false perceptions of her yet again with this song from her Lover album. This song was one of the more tame tracks on her self-described break-up album. That was the character I felt the media had written for me, and for a long time I felt hurt by it. "Our Song" was on Taylor's debut album, Taylor Swift. Swift wrote the song about her boyfriend at the time, Drew Dunlop, for her high school's talent show freshman year. The song is narrated by Betty, one of the characters she created for Folklore. This soft rock hit poetically explores young love and the loss of innocence. "cardigan" is the lead single on Swift's 2020 Folklore album. This haunting yet beautiful ballad was inspired by Taylor's current boyfriend Joe Alwyn. "Lover" is one of the few glimpses into Taylor's secretive fairytale romance with the British actor.

Fans joked that Kris Jenner was secretly behind the report naming Taylor Swift as the star with the worst private jet carbon emissions of the year.

To attribute most or all of these trips to her is blatantly incorrect." "This is very shocking to me, honestly. Khloe, whose sister Kylie Jenner had just faced backlash for flaunting her and Travis Scott's private jets online, recently "liked" a video joking about how Kris Jenner may have been behind the eye-opening study as a way to take attention off her family.
