Content warning:<\/b> Taylor Swift hater ahead<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n In 2023, Taylor Swift was the celebrity with the highest carbon emissions for the second year in a row. This is absurd. Of course, these were the same years in which she went on her global Eras tour, which contributed to these massive amounts of carbon emissions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n While this could constitute a valid excuse, there are <\/span>many other artists and bands<\/span><\/a> that went on world tours during this time. Foo Fighters, for instance, hit five continents on their world tour, the same amount as Taylor Swift, but their carbon emissions did not even make the 2022\u20132023 list.<\/span><\/p>\n The difference between Taylor Swift and the many other artists who went on tour during these years is the possession of a private jet. Many artists who are going on worldwide tours still need to fly to different countries, but they often use public transportation, while celebrities such as <\/span>Jay-Z, Kim Kardashian and Travis Scott<\/span><\/a> get around in privately owned jets.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Taylor Swift also owns not one, but <\/span>two private jets<\/span><\/a>. This is simply unnecessary. There is no valid reason that anyone should own two private jets, even if they do go on world tours and have a boyfriend in the NFL.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n With a net worth of over one billion dollars and single-handedly costing the earth a vast amount of its health, Taylor Swift needs to change her act. To the public, she preaches global health.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cSwift’s lyrics frequently reference nature, and she has been a public advocate for several environmental causes, including global clean water access and protecting endangered wildlife,\u201d <\/span>Forbes quotes.<\/span><\/a> \u201cShe also called climate change one of the \u2018horrific situations\u2019 plaguing the world.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
