Taylor Swift is claiming an \u201cimminent threat to the safety and wellbeing” in a recently published cease and desist letter sent to a college student tracking the movements of her private jet.<\/p>\n

Swift\u2019s preferred mode of transport has been gossip fodder since a sustainable digital marketing agency, The Yard Group<\/a>, dubbed her the celebrity with the highest amount of private jet carbon emissions in 2022. Following her movements became catnip for dedicated Swifties, especially in the lead-up to the 2024 Super Bowl<\/a> where she is reported to be racing against time by flying from Tokyo to Las Vegas to cheer on her NFL player boyfriend, Travis Kelce<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But riding off the high of her recently announced 11th studio album<\/a> and history-making Grammy win<\/a>, Swift is threatening legal action against 22-year-old college junior and programmer Jack Sweeney, demanding he stops releasing information about her jet\u2019s movements. The Florida student was the owner of the now-defunct social media account @taylorswiftjets. He used publicly available data to chronicle the taking-offs and landings of Swift\u2019s Dassault Falcon 7X.<\/p>\n

Sweeney claims it\u2019s \u201ctransparency\u201d, especially in the wake of the climate crisis and global boiling. Swift claims it\u2019s \u201cstalking\u201d and a \u201clife-or-death\u201d manner to her.<\/p>\n

The optics of the cease and desist document haven\u2019t swayed the public\u2019s interest in Swift\u2019s favour, as many have vocalised their concern about her excessive in-air time in exacerbating carbon emissions. (Representatives of Swift have claimed the star has purchased double the amount of carbon credits to offset<\/a> the CO2 released in her travels.)<\/p>\n

Some claim that Swift has even made tactical efforts to optimise search engine results in her favour<\/a> when Googling \u201cTaylor Swift Jets\u201d by attending football matches for the New York team with the same name. Because of her presence at the match, the internet will feed you images of her in the stands with Blake Lively rather than articles documenting her carbon footprint.<\/p>\n

In the letter, representatives of Swift claim that Sweeney\u2019s actions have given her stalkers\u2014who are a credible threat to her safety and have already invaded her privacy on numerous occasions\u2014”a roadmap to carry out their plans”. Sweeney doesn\u2019t see it this way, stating to the BBC<\/em><\/a>: \u201cNowhere do I intend for harm. I actually think Swift has some good songs. I believe in transparency and public information, ”<\/p>\n

Sweeney has garnered a reputation for earning the ire of the celebrities, billionaires and politicians that he tracks. In the wake of the letter, Elon Musk labelled Sweeney as an \u201cawful human being\u201d,<\/a> adding that Swift has \u201cevery right to be concerned.\u201d Sweeney claimed that Musk offered him $5,000 to delete his Twitter account dedicated to documenting his jet\u2019s movements before rescinding the offer.<\/p>\n

Sweeney has intermittently stopped sharing information on Swift\u2019s movements\u2014perhaps fortuitous timing to drum up anticipation and further speculation about Swift\u2019s attendance at the Super Bowl. But the letter hasn\u2019t fully detracted Sweeney<\/a>: \u201cThis information is already out there. Her team thinks they can control the world.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":42674,"featured_media":47785,"template":"","format":"standard","categories":[36,35],"yoast_head":"\nTaylor Swift Doesn't Want Her Private Jet To Be Tracked<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Taylor Swift has threatened legal action against a college student who tracks her private jet's movements.
