What's one private jet when you can fly two? Taylor Swift ramps up the old carbon footprint to new levels
American Thinker ^ | 11 Feb, 2024 | Monica Showalter

Next time pop star Taylor Swift starts waxing all pious about saving the planet, maybe someone can ask her about those two private jets she traipses around on a plume of carbon compounds to get around the planet.

According to Gizmodo:

Flying from Tokyo, Japan back to the U.S. to get to the Super Bowl and watch her boyfriend Travis Kelce play was very important to pop superstar Taylor Swift—so important that she apparently had a second private jet on standby.

The existence of a second private jet for Swift, who was in Tokyo giving a series of concerts, was reported on Saturday by FlightRadar24, a global flight tracking service, and aptly named “Backup Quarterback” on its website. Jason Rabinowitz, co-host of FlightRadar24’s AvTalk podcast, added that private jet operator VistaJet had mechanics on standby at Tokyo’s Haneda Airport in case something went wrong.

So that second jet she had flying there wasn't to haul heavy music equipment or anything, it was just flying empty as a spare, in case something went wrong with the first jet.

The Independent notes that Business Insider reported that she got rid of the second one, but that seems to be contradicted by this report above.

Yet whether it was two or one, and the latest report says 'two,' it contrasts rather sharply with this kind of talk, such as she gave in 2020, described by a University of Pennsylvania website:

Taylor cares about climate disruption and the environment. In a 2020 interview, she said climate change was one of the “horrific situations that we find ourselves facing right now,” especially young people.

Horrific, she said.

That a pop singer churning out banal, unimaginative, vanilla music is a die-hard Democrat is testament to the fact that the conservative movement has been discredited. Once upon a time, such a celebrity would have been either apolitical or a Republican (e.g. Sonny Bono).

If Trump didn’t save her a $billion maybe she wouldn’t be able to afford her violent NFL goon and her jets.

I hope no one here is playing the Taylor Swift drinking game during the Super Bowl broadcast. They won’t be fit to go to work tomorrow.

If I were in charge of making sure Taylor would be in Vegas on time I would do the same thing.

If I did not I would be extremely negligent.

Exactly. They never practice what they preach. They expect US to do that part while they allow themselves the luxuries and privileges they deny us.

This is the jet landing at LA; it's not her Falcon 900, but rather a chartered Bombardier Global 6000. It has a range of 7000 mi and cruises at 51,000 ft at 530 mph. The cabin is pressurized at 4000 ft, pretty comfortable for relaxing.

Not her Falcon? Poor baby sacrificing so much for the sake of her boyfriend’s comparatively minor endeavors.

Seriously though, she would have garnered some respect from we commoners if she had made SOME statement for the passing of Toby Keith, who pushed her when she was an unknown. Another illustration that when you’re the nucleus of an ass-kiss atom your view stops short of seeing outside of it’s immediate field of influence.
