Four months after Taylor Swift shrunk worries about the environmental damage caused by its use of private plane with the joke, “Jet Lag is a choice”, one of her less favorite people call her again for about 178,000 miles that her two airplanes flew in 2023 and the large amount of CO2 that they issued in the process.
Jack Sweeney, the Junior of the University of Florida College that is known as the “Stalker” Swift plane, has presented a video that visually shows how the pop star airplanes intersect in the United States and the Globe approximately 170 times in 2023, accumulating several miles that are equivalent to flying around the earth seven times. Their planes also issued 1,200 tons of CO2 in the process, 83 times the average American, according to Jack Sweeney.
Certainly, part of this trip was due to Swift traveling for his period tour, but, according to the published accounts, he also made several trips by pleasure, even to see his NFL star boyfriend, Travis Kelce, play in games in different US cities.
Sweeney’s video also quoted Swift saying: “Jet Lag is an choice.” That is a comment he made after leaving his tour in Japan in February to make a quick trip to Las Vegas with the sole purpose of seeing the boyfriend Kelce and his bosses of Kansas City defeat the San Francisco 49ers in the Super Bowl.
The fact that Sweeney published the video shows that it has not been dissuaded by a cessation and withdrawal letter sent by Swift’s lawyer earlier this year, threatening to “pursue each and every one of the legal remedies” if he did not stop using his social media accounts to track the trips of Mega-Star jets.
Before the Sweeney meeting with Swift, he had become known to execute accounts that publish information on the take -off and landscape land and reaction helicopters owned by celebrities and billionaires, such as Swift and Elon Musk, as well as politicians, Russian oligarchs and other public figures, The Washington Post reported. Their publications have also shared estimates of carbon dioxide that these aircraft are emitting to the environment. The accounts use publicly available data from the Federal Aviation Administration, while volunteer fans track the aircraft through the signals transmitted, the publication said.
Swift’s lawyer alleged that Sweeney’s publications on the trips that his planes make constituted “stalker and stalker behavior,” as the Washington Post reported.
“While this can be a game for you, or a way that you expect you to win wealth or fame, it is a matter of life or death for our client,” said the letter.
“Mrs. Swift has dealt with stalkers and other people who want her damage since she was a teenager,” the letter continued. “Reality has forced our client to live their life in a constant state of fear for their personal safety.”
The Sun reported that Swift spokesman said that an Instagram Sweeney account dedicated to Swift’s Jet Travel had a “connection” with a man arrested in January outside his home in Manhattan.
But Sweeney told The Sun that he has not heard from Swift’s lawyers since his cessation and withdrawal letter made him public.
“Nothing (it happened),” Sweeney said, according to The Sun. “I’m not really surprised.”
“It’s quite similar to Elon, you know, they will say something to intimidate the smallest person,” Sweeney said too.
Sweeney refers to its encounter with the CEO of Tesla in 2002, which caused a debate on freedom of expression and public’s right to certain information about X, Musk’s own social networks platform. Musk publicly criticized Sweeney for tracking his plane into X, accused him of publishing his “murder coordinates” and offered Sweeney $ 5,000 to stop, but Sweeney refused, Sun reported.
Sweeney said that celebrities like Swift and Musk do not like to receive this type of attention, but the university junior said it is important to bring “awareness.”
In an interview with the publication about his accounts, tracking Swift, Sweeney also offered “an incomplete sketch” of the cities that Swift could be visiting, similar to the publicly available schedules for their concerts or NFL games to which it could attend. In addition, the accounts do not say if Swift really travels on a plane that tracks, or where she or other passengers go once the planes land.
Sweeney is not the first person to call the “antihero” singer for excessive use of private jet. A Yard 2022 report, a digital media marketing company based in the United Kingdom, estimated that it was one of the “celebrity CO2 criminals.”
Even in 2022, when Swift was not on tour, he accumulated a total of 170 flights between January and July of that year, Yard found. An estimated of 22,923 minutes passed in the air, or 15.9 days, with its total emissions ascending to 1,185 times more than the total annual emissions of the average person.
The week before Swift flew from Japan to Las Vegas for the Super Bowl, he had also been in Los Angeles for the Grammys. According to Associated Press, this meant that he needed to make a round trip of 19,400 miles from the United States to Japan and return in less than a week. Two days after the game, he returned to an plane, flying another 8,000 miles from Las Vegas to Melbourne, Australia, for the next stop on his tour.
