    Yes, Taylor definitely reached out to the football guy, went on dates with him, went to a football game with his mom first, then went to another game, to goose the google algorithm, definitely.

    Taylor does not give a shit about people being mad at her for having a private jet.

    I saw someone on TikTok say that this is why she did this and cited that Disney did the same thing by releasing Frozen to bury the whole "Walt froze his body" rumor. Brain worms.

  7. Can you imagine the hardcore Reddit/Twitter Swifties catching wind that Taylor Swift was somewhere on their plane?? She absolutely needs a private jet.

    her personal safety would be in danger if she wasnt flying private. some swifties struggle to not act like a crazed mob around her, it’s kinda scary.

    Its not out of this world far fetched

    I do believe that celebs try to bury negative stories with other antics and if they do have to announce negative news they often do it at intentional times to get less coverage (such as around the holidays when people are busy with their families and not paying as much attention. Youll see more celeb divorce announcements and stuff at this time) but I don't believe she'd like date a whole person to do that.

    I do think she cares about people being upset about her private jet. Not in the sense that she'd stop but she's a people pleaser who needs everyone to like her. I don't buy that she shakes anything off. But she also doesn't really need to bury the jet story with the Jets story because nobody is going to stop supporting her over it lol. Nobody cares enough, whether they should or not.

    It would be a danger to her AND to the rest of the people on the plane for her to fly commercial.

    Why should we prioritise the safety of one incredibly wealthy popstar over the future of the entire planet?

    Again, it would be the safety of everyone on the plane. It's a mob scene wherever she is, and people lose the ability to behave like civilized humans. If you want that in the air, go off I guess.

    (And for the record, I am definitely not "pro-private-jet," I just think asking someone of her fame and stature to travel any other way is akin to asking the President of the United States not to use Air Force One.)

    None of this is a good enough excuse. Private planes are up to 14 times more polluting, per passenger, than commercial planes and 50 times more polluting than trains. Private planes need to be eliminated if our planet has any future, and if that means Taylor Swift can't travel anymore, I think I'll be ok with that.

    I think it’s hilarious we use “per passenger” when comparing commercial vs private. A plane that holds 10-20 people vs a plane that holds 300+ is a bit disingenuous comparison at best. It’s like saying motorcycles and a double decker bus are the same thing.

    You can argue all day long that we shouldn’t have small planes or large planes or whatever.

    At the end of the day, 100 corporations are accountable for more climate change problems than the 8 billion of us humans alive. There is no one size fits all solution. And it feels very weird to get so mad at a woman prioritizing safety in the modern age.

    “A woman prioritising safety” is a hilarious way to describe a super-rich singer who travels via private jet in order to further enrich herself while the planet burns beneath her. I wonder if future generations will be as understanding as you?

    I cannot believe we managed to combine “Taylor Swift dates a football player” discourse with “Taylor Swift’s private jets” discourse.

    But can Taylor Swift’s private jet melt steel beams?

    However much I like someone’s music I reserve the right to make fun of them if they’re ultra rich and own multiple private jets and rent/lease them out for extra money

    They are never going to ban private planes and even if they put major restrictions on them, they would look at the economical impact and let her use them to tour anyway

    I think you and I have wildly different estimations for what and who anthropological and historical studies of this time will focus on.

    I think you’re bootlicking a super wealthy celebrity who flies via private jet and whose carbon footprint is larger than everyone else’s in this thread put together. Nowhere have I said that Taylor Swift is the #1 climate criminal of all time lol
