Taylor Swift is the biggest polluter in the United States due to her private plane

The American pop star was already considered the biggest polluter among celebrities last year due to her private plane. This year the situation has not improved, quite the opposite.

When it comes to love, no distance is too far for Taylor Swift — and no ton of carbon dioxide emissions is too much. In 2022, the American singer has already been denounced for displaying the most environmentally harmful behavior among celebrities.

In contrast to her colleagues, she traveled the most miles on a private plane and thus left the largest carbon dioxide footprint. No improvement this year. It must be because of their relationship.

Taylor Swift has been appearing alongside football star Travis Kelce for a few months. According to him, the 34-year-old has been in between for the past few months New York Go back and forth to Kansas City. Additionally, she hopped on a plane to travel to Kansas City between stops on her South American tour. This was reported by multiple media outlets, and referred to the “Taylor Swift's Jets” Instagram channel, which follows the private jet's itineraries.

Shortest flight: 36 minutes

Through more than a dozen flights in the past three months, it released 138 tons of carbon dioxide emissions. To compensate for this environmental damage, Taylor Swift will have to plant 2,282 trees and let them grow for 10 years. 12,622 gallons (equivalent to 47,779 litres) of kerosene were used for the trips, worth $70,779. U.S. dollar – 64,230 euros – equivalent.

When Taylor Swift was denounced as a number one environmental offender last year, her spokesperson defended herself. Accordingly, other people will also use the private jet. However, the route between Kansas City and New York and several others since September can definitely be attributed to Taylor Swift.

It's very possible that Taylor Swift will be able to secure the negative title again this year. In 2022, it caused a total of 8,293.54 tons of emissions. This is 1,184.8 times more than the average person's annual emissions. Trips on her private plane averaged 80 minutes and a distance of about 224 kilometres. The shortest flight was 36 minutes from Missouri to Nashville.
