    Maybe don’t use a private jet then?
    It would be a lot harder to track someone on a random flight in business class. And I can’t imagine business class is more expensive than flying private.

      It would be enormously easier to track Taylor Swift on a random flight in business class, because the moment people saw her on their random flight in business class it would turn into a social media frenzy.

          Lol, you think only Americans worship celebrities? You need to travel more lol - shit is an issue everywhere, you ever seen a k-pop idol?

          Some humans just fall for that shit for whatever reason.

          As an American, I can honestly say the only three times I’ve met a celebrity, once I didn’t even recognize her (still don’t remember her name, she had appearances on crime shows) , once I didn’t care to acknowledge their presence (Kevin sorbo) , and once I literally just said “Hey do you and Alan Tudyk ever hang out since firefly? I love that show” to Nathan Fillion. Yes, they do things together sometimes.

            Om not even American and have only spent a few months there, it even I’ve met more than 3 celebrities in America. That’s an oddlyow number. I mean, just the other day in Sydney, Rachel Griffiths was in myocal café here in Sydney. I believe sheives locally, so it’s not odd but celebrities are everywhere. She wants bothered by anyone. Taylor would be. I’m not a fan, but I can understand why she’d fly privately. I hope she offsets the emissions, but even the small effort she has done to improve youth voting would offset those emissions.

        So…a bunch of idiots end up on the no-fly list? I don’t see a down side. I mean, I could see it being stressful for poor tay-tay, but nothing her money can’t pay for in therapy.

      Do you really think Taylor swift is just one person when she travels? And has two bags and a carry on?

      I imagine the worlds biggest artist right now probably has enough crew and gear to fill an airplane by themselves.

        Do you forget what community you’re in?
        It’s insane to me that people in the CLIMATE community will bend over backwards to defend a celebrity with a fucking private jet.

        Seriously though, will you also defend Elon musk and Jeff Bezos for their use of private jets too?
        Or is it only ok when it’s a “cool” celebrity?

          I’m just practical. If you go on a world tour where you have a day or so between gigs and you need to bring a lot of gear and people then it makes sense to use a private plane.

          If she would fill the plane regardless then why not her own plane.

            If I want to invade a country, people will die. But that can’t be helped, that’s just the cost of things. What, you expect me not to invade a country? But I WANT to. That’s how I make my money!! Surely that is the most important consideration.

          I was being cheeky… This grifter wants all the publicity with zero criticism.

          Disgusting parasites be like that.

          Funny how this discussion is being suppressed on reddit tho…

          She pays good money for all the “positive vibes” lol
