Do you really think Taylor swift is just one person when she travels? And has two bags and a carry on?
I imagine the worlds biggest artist right now probably has enough crew and gear to fill an airplane by themselves.
Do you forget what community you're in?
It's insane to me that people in the CLIMATE community will bend over backwards to defend a celebrity with a fucking private jet.
Seriously though, will you also defend Elon musk and Jeff Bezos for their use of private jets too?
Or is it only ok when it's a "cool" celebrity?
I'm just practical. If you go on a world tour where you have a day or so between gigs and you need to bring a lot of gear and people then it makes sense to use a private plane.
If she would fill the plane regardless then why not her own plane.
If I want to invade a country, people will die. But that can't be helped, that's just the cost of things. What, you expect me not to invade a country? But I WANT to. That's how I make my money!! Surely that is the most important consideration.
Bad take
