Taylor Swift is the most polluting star, with almost 12 flights in three months.
Taylor Swift, the chart-topping songstress, has been named the highest celebrity CO2 polluter of the year in 2022, and she appears set to keep the distinction for a second consecutive year.
She’s bouncing back and forth between New York and Kansas City, nurturing her budding romance with Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.
Swift’s carbon footprint has expanded beyond domestic travel with additional journeys in-between gigs in South America as part of her current Eras World Tour.
Taylor Swift’s recent flights, according to figures from Taylor Swift’s Jets on Instagram, have resulted in a significant carbon footprint, totaling 138 tons of CO2 emissions to far.
Swift would need to plant a remarkable 2,282 trees and patiently wait for them to develop over the following decade to balance the environmental impact of her travel.
Taylor’s extensive jet travel is similar to the energy consumption of 17 houses in a year, or the electrical use of 26.9 residences for one year, according to recent calculations using the Greenhouse Gas Equivalencies Calculator.
The internationally renowned artist, who owns two multi-million dollar planes registered as Island Jet Inc. and SATA LLFC, has come under fire after topping the 2022 pollution rankings.
Despite reports that her Falcon 7X plane is frequently used by others, evidence links both aircraft firms to Taylor Swift Productions in Nashville, Tennessee.
The journeys from Kansas City to New York and beyond have consumed a total of 12,622 gallons of jet fuel, with an estimated value of $70,779.
Her longest journey, from Sao Paulo, Brazil, to Kansas City, with a stopover in Tampa, Florida, used 4,151 gallons of fuel, worth an estimated $23,250.
