In recent years, singing star Taylor Swift has often spoken publicly regarding her environmental values.
But, apparently, ankle boots don’t follow your lips.
We know that international stars are often known for the excessive use of private jets. Recently, both Kylie Jenner and Drake have been heavily criticized by the public for this. But, according to a new filing released by research firm Yard, it appears that Mme Swift would be by far the one who created the most greenhouse gas emissions this year.

According to the report, the singer’s jet was used 170 times between 1is January and July 19, 2022, for a total of 22,923 minutes in the sky, or 16 days. These flights produced over 8,200 tonnes of carbon, which is 1,184 times the emissions of an average person.
A representative of M.me Swift claimed to Rolling Stone that the jet was regularly lent to friends of the singer, so that she would not be responsible for all of the pollution caused by the device.
To compile its report, Yard pulled its numbers from Celebrity Jets, a site that lists flights flown by planes owned by different celebrities.
In second place on the list of the most polluting stars comes the boxer Floyd Mayweather, who is responsible for 7076 tons of CO2. He is followed by rapper and businessman Jay-Z. However, the latter claims that his jet is a corporate jet of the company Puma, of which he is the creative director, and he claims that many athletes represented by the sportswear brand use it.
Then we find, in order, the following personalities: Alex Rodriguez, Blake Shelton, Steven Spielberg, Kim Kardashian, Mark Wahlberg, Oprah Winfrey and Travis Scott.
The two stars who inspired the list, Kylie Jenner and Drake, are ranked at 19e and at 16e rank, respectively.
