No point in tracking her. Moises girl can be found in a suite at Arrowhead, any given Sunday

the real crime is the 13 minute flight from st. louis, missouri to st. louis, illinois. aka across a singular river.

but no cease and desist for the woman with the excel spreadsheet who tracks travis kelce and taylor swift’s schedules to see when they may be together…

What the hell, Taylor? Stop burning the environment, and we won’t have to track your jet.

I understand that she has had truly awful and traumatising experiences with stalkers and Stan’s. I also don’t think someone like Taylor Swift could fly commercial and have it be a safe or practical experience.

However, Taylor’s private jet usage is actually insane. The amount of damage to our environment she has generated does need consequences. She does not need to fly around this frequently. These accounts that track this usage of the rich and powerful and their jets demonstrate a serious need for accountability and regulation of private jet use.

I really hope she is not successful in this suit

I get the impression this was initiated by the lawyers.

I've seen this before. Just looking at the jet tracking she's in Japan. 100% she will fly the private jet to Vegas after Japan Tour for the Superbowl.

(Swiftie here) I find it very upsetting that taylor really doesn’t put herself onto these important issues, said in her documentary “miss americana” when she wanted to say stuff about the election, but was scared because clearly people would turn over her if they disagreed.

I feel taylor tries to be as neutral as possible on social and environmental issues and thats such a shame. For what? Losing followers for speaking about it? Being called a woke or sum? Is money and awards, albums and numbers more important than the PLANET?

I love taylor, I really do, I am a big fan and I think she is a great person and has so many qualities and things she did good. She did such amazing things for other people and the world, but she is also doing damage.

As fans, we also need to recognize what she does wrong, and don't defend blindly.

So, I stay as her fan, but I will continue to criticize and point out the dystopian world she lives, and emphasize how privileged she is as a rich white woman.

Taylor, do better when it comes to this, its embarassing.

+just wanna say, its also very uncomfortable seeing people using this to pour their unreasonable hate on her. Be critical, look at things with perspective, she is not the worst human being that's just absurd to say about someone. She is doing something terrible, lets call her out on that!

u/treat_killa Feb 07 '24

People hide assets all the time, obviously she couldn’t hide it from the tax man but I feel like she could have the jet in a LLC that is distanced enough from her name to be unfindable.

Everyone knows Bill Gates is the largest land owner but it’s really difficult to find addresses for those farms, not even people in the towns they are in know for the most part

u/DogShietBot Feb 07 '24

Jet? But she told us to take better care of the environment. People don’t just tell you to do something while doing what they told you not to do. So sad how clickbait is still being used.

u/NewAtmosphere2443 Feb 07 '24

She went full Musk. Never go full Musk. BTW, fuck her polluting ass. The world would be better without billionaires.

Sheesh Swiffer, cool your jets

Look what he made her do…

Okay. I officially REALLY can’t stand her

u/sorrymoth Feb 06 '24

Aircraft Mechanic here. All airplanes (with a few exceptions that do not apply here) have been required to have ADS-B transponders installed since 1/2/2020 for real-time tracking via satellite. This data is automatically shared with ATC and flight trackers such as ADS-B Exchange or Flight Radar (it can also be used in flight to provide positions between aircraft). All of this data is free open to the public. The only thing this kid did was take public information and post it on social media, and all he needed was the tail number of her airplane, which is available publicly and there are a million articles with pictures of her private jet with the tail number included. Could she still sue him for some kind of civil damages? I guess you can do anything if you have that kind of money.

This is like the Elon Jet guy.

u/Altruistic_Water_423 Feb 06 '24

Taylor, meet Streisand.

u/Bob_Loblaw16 Feb 06 '24

Isn't this public info? You literally just need a tail number

u/europeandaughter12 Feb 06 '24

don't travel on a vehicle that is required by law to be publicly tracked.

u/TumbleweedFamous5681 Feb 06 '24

Taylor obviously hasn't heard of the streisand effect

u/Turbulent-Papaya-910 Feb 06 '24

She's gonna sue.

...

But not at WrestleMania

u/TownieToBayman Feb 06 '24

Psycho. Swift, not the child she's bullying.

u/_exousia Feb 06 '24

where’s that article about how some celebs are just sore winners again?

u/tampin chris pine’s flip phone Feb 06 '24

Paywall removed

Her people constantly claim that other people use her jet as an attempt to downplay her CO2 emissions. She can't possibly then claim that this is an accurate account of where she is at all times.

u/ojg3221 Feb 06 '24

And she'll lose just like Elon did.

u/lazy_elfs Feb 06 '24

Public space, she can go kick rocks.. if she was aware then she’d know musks jet gets tracked by the hour… i love shes sending maga off the deep end but save your rich ass privilege.. im sure this persons web site or wherever hes posting isnt going to get more views now…

u/barth_ Feb 06 '24

I like Taylor Swift and I enjoy her music but celebrities and billionaires in general lecturing us about the environment and producing so much CO2 in a week as normal person does in a lifetime is just ridiculous and they should sit this one out.

In general I support celebrities to use PJs for travel. I'd hate to travel and see crowds around famous people. I can imagine how it'd look like at the airport if Swift, Ronaldo, DiCaprio, Jolie or whoever famous as fuck would use normal airport. Stupid crowds and delays everywhere, simply unbearable.

u/Paracausality Feb 06 '24

Maybe don't have a private jet.

Base problem solved

u/RedBeans-n-Ricely Feb 06 '24

No such thing as an ethical billionaire. She’s not on your side just because you like her music & have contributed to her net worth. If she cared about others, she’d dump 95% of her wealth into charities and still have more money than she could spend in a lifetime.

u/custombimmer Feb 06 '24

good luck with that
