Taylor Swift threatens to sue student who tracks her private jet
We can't have tax-dodging billionaires having to slum it in first class or not do want they want whenever they want to do it. They're entitled to, right? Everyone else should be expected to modify their behaviour, but not them.
Sorry for the interruption. Please continue discussing which pop star is "better".
A student who tracks the private jets of celebrities says Taylor Swift's lawyers have threatened to sue him for sharing her flight information online.
Jack Sweeney uses publicly available data to track the take-offs and landings of planes belonging to the wealthy and posts them one day later.

He added that he received the threatening letter after media outlets began scrutinising Swift's carbon footprint.
In 2022, Swift topped the list of celebrities with the highest private jet CO2 emissions, according to digital marketing firm Yard.
The organisation found that her jet emission were about 1,185 times more than the average person's total annual emissions.

On Sunday, she is due to fly to Las Vegas to see her boyfriend play in the NFL Super Bowl, one day after her concert in Tokyo.
