Taylor Swift's private jet defaced by climate activists
On Thursday, June 20, an intriguing video was posted on the social media pages of the Just Stop Oil organization. Climate activists demonstrated dissatisfaction with the numerous flights of Taylor Swift, who often travels by private jet, even for scandalously short distances.
Taylor Swift is a singer, vocalist, songwriter, and composer currently dominating the music world. In the spring of 2023, she began her global concert tour, "The Eras Tour." This was a massive hit; tickets sold out quickly, prompting the artist to add more shows in many cities to meet the high demand. Additionally, her latest album, "The Tortured Poets Department," has been at the top of the Billboard 200 list for two months.
There is no doubt that Taylor Swift knows what success feels like. This cannot be denied. Unfortunately, the artist regularly falls afoul of fans and climate activists because she often uses a private jet, even for short flights that generate vast amounts of carbon dioxide. In 2022, she topped the list of celebrities who pollute the air the most. Activists from the Just Stop Oil organization decided to express their dissatisfaction.
Activists of Just Stop Oil defaced Taylor Swift's jet
Just Stop Oil is an environmental organization from the United Kingdom that aims to convince the government to halt new fossil fuel licenses and stop their production. Activists began their activities in 2022. Their behavior often stirs solid emotions and controversy due to their direct actions, frequently labeled as vandalism. Just Stop Oil is known for pouring colorful liquids on famous paintings, statues, and planes.
Taylor Swift did not escape the activists' attention. On social media, Just Stop Oil shared a video showing activists sneaking onto the airstrip at Stansted in London, where the artist's jet was parked. Activists defaced her plane with an orange substance to protest against her significant carbon dioxide emissions.
Taylor Swift has never addressed the accusations regarding her use of private jets. It can be assumed that it will be the same this time. The artist does everything to tour and simultaneously visit her partner, so she will likely not stop organizing frequent and short flights.
