I don’t care about Taylor Swift, but if your jet emissions are about 1,185 times the average person’s total annual emissions, you shouldn’t try to silence the fact. pic.twitter.com/lWM18ApUKm

Private jets are the epitome of climate injustice. The super-rich are burning the earth in search of their luxury and glamour.
Taylor Swift is clearly ashamed of her overuse of private jets. Otherwise she wouldn’t try to hide it 👇🏽 https://t.co/CnRhzsaCKQ

Private jet flight routes are publicly available information. Why on earth does Taylor Swift think she’s so special? Does she want to become an eco-terrorist in private and destroy the environment without public oversight? https://t.co/BTZae8EkY8 pic.twitter.com/ZdqNSl6CE4

Taylor Swift’s reliance on a $40 million private jet means she’s driving Joe Biden’s climate change campaign even though her carbon footprint has increased significantly compared to the average individual. I support it, and it’s truly a double standard. pic.twitter.com/Ki8MhZq8VF

Critics are lining up as Swift could be just days away from one of the most high-profile private jet trips in recent history.
She is scheduled to play at Tokyo Dome for four days, with Saturday night being her last performance. The day before, her boyfriend Travis Kelce’s Kansas City Chiefs will play the San Francisco 49ers in the Super Bowl in Las Vegas.
Her current plan is to fly directly from Tokyo to Las Vegas on a private jet and be there in time for dinner on Saturday evening, well in time for Sunday’s big game.
Swift is just the latest of many globe-trotting celebrities to come under scrutiny for environmental pollution. Elon Musk, Bill Gates, Leonardo DiCaprio, and many others regularly make headlines for traveling on private jets.
