Just in December we commented on these pages that Taylor Swift was chosen as Revise Time’s Person of the Year. 2023 was her best year in a long time, it also seemed that history would repeat itself in 2024, to the point that, although she was not scheduled to sing at the Super Bowl, the most watched sporting event in the United States, her presence was crucial for reasons dramatic; There is a whole conversation on social media regarding whether she will make it to Las Vegas in time for the American football game from Tokyo, Japan, where she has a concert the same day, to see her boyfriend Travis Kelce, a tight end for the Los Angeles Lakers, play. Kansas City Chiefs.
What for some is a gesture of romance, for others is the whim of a privileged person. Not because Taylor has somehow lost the right to move around the world whenever she wants, but because of how she does it: she would return to the United States in a Falcon 7X, her private jet. What’s the problem with using a personal plane? Its pollution levels, which critics say are too much for the few people it can carry. And of course, its use is also in some way a contradiction to Taylor’s campaign once morest climate change.

Taylor, whose fortune is estimated at $1.1 billion according to Forbes, is not the only billionaire with a private plane. Instead, she is the only one – as far as is known – who has counterattacked by sending a “cease and desist” letter to university student Jack Sweeney, creator of a website that tracks the private flights of presidents, oligarchs and entertainment celebrities such as it, in addition to calculating its carbon emissions. “[Sweeney ha causado] direct and irreparable damage, as well as emotional and physical affliction,” says the letter, which names the artist and her family as victims. Meanwhile, social networks [Twitter principalmente] They are a battlefield where there is no shortage of “swifties” who defend their mistress; and the ‘meme’ creators, who ironically say that Taylor uses her jet even to buy bread. She doesn’t do that, but the joke is so popular that it spreads faster than any truth.
Conversations regarding the singer’s jet have been going on for months, but they have resurfaced because of the letter and also because of the Super Bowl. Thus, she is in a unique position, having won the awards for Album of the Year and Best Pop Vocal Album at the 2024 Grammys a week ago, a ceremony where she also announced her next album, “The Tortured Poets Department.” Her popularity may have never been greater, but her detractors are also greater. A situation where there is no one responsible except herself; This time she can no longer blame Kanye West for the bad publicity.
The game is on Sunday, but for the first time in a long time, Taylor is not assured of victory. As the New York Times mentions, the four Las Vegas airports are expected to receive regarding 1,000 private planes on Sunday. Maybe there isn’t a space for her and her portable carbon emitter among so many others. That’s (American) football.
