Swift has been getting crap for the overuse of her jet for a couple of years now, this isn't new. She's been found to be one of the most prolific flyers nearing if not topping the list. It's also been found that she is flying extremely frequently when she's not on tour. Last number I saw estimated near 3 times a week at the most to fly back and forth to see a boyfriend that she could have driven to.
It's fine to say that it's all for security, but she's been flaunting it for a long while and any idea that she's including members of her tour or entourage on her jet is complete speculation. At a certain point we have to accept that she doesn't actually care about the environment. Which is fine, she's a billionaire and very few of them if any really do.
Thanks for the info, didn't know that. But I'd still say this is a drop in the bucket and irrelevant to the solutions we'd have to target. Meanwhile this is politically motivated to get Trump elected and divert from climate change.
