    Man, this stupid meme has only one logical conclusion: “How does Taylor Swift travel to the top floors of the WTC?”

    What is it with some of you and how obsessed you are with Taylor Swift using a private jet? I mean don’t get me wrong, fuck private jets. But why have there been so many posts about her using a private jet?

      She threatened legal action against a guy who made a website that tracks her private jets’ flights using publicly available information and the internet doesn’t like it.

              I threw away the passive part of the passive aggression in your prior comment “cool” and stuck to aggression.

              Tastes pretty bad doesn’t it?

                  I’m not even the dude you were talking to lol

                  She’s spending fuel resources and causing pollution for 10-30 minute jet rides?

                  It’s easy to say mind your own business when it doesn’t have anything to do with you, but the science shows that this shit affects everyone, not just her. So people are valid in contesting those actions or making judgments based on this info.

                  Instead of legitimately asking for more info or clarification you went with the aloof, passive aggressive “cool” comment. If you were really interested in the discussion you would’ve had one, but you chose not to. So I responded my own viewpoint to either negg you back into real conversation or to expose your lack of legitimate care of the matter, destroying any credibility your claims may have held.

      Probably a total coincidence that this started when she publicly spoke out against trump and suddenly even fox news cared about plane emissions…

        People have complained about this for at least months, probably years.

        Now it just happens to become popular again. Maybe because she threatened a guy publishing public information about her jet.

        It has nothing to do with Trump. Why would the events be connected?

        Do you think it’s some kind of revenge plot?

        This is reality not some Marvel movie.

          She only threatened to sue the guy after trump fans used that data to smear her and made her aware of this in the first place.

          That guy was tracking her plane for a long time but it only became an issue now when right wing people used it.

      I’m sorry but if I’ve learned one thing from the NFL it’s that i should be wondering what Taylor Swift is doing every 5 minutes.

          Short answer: the right are bored as fuck because they have to block out everything that’s happening so it leaves very little to do, so they make up false dramas to keep the base entertained because again, they’re only seeing the 10th of the world where they aren’t massive losers.

      Feels very far right psy-op focused honestly. These memes all started popping up as soon as Trump and co started railing against her. Sure she has made comments about using jets and then does the opposite, but like it’s obviously going to happen. Notice these same people don’t talk about musks rampent jet usage. Or other celebrities. But again soon as the far right starts going after Swift we get inundated in these swift jet memes.

      She tried to sue one of those Twitter private jet trackers and it’s created a Streisand effect. Apparently she is pretty bad about her private jet usage, like 15 minute flights, but, in general, nobody was really talking about it tell she screamed ‘leave my jet alone’

      Yep. I get Taylor Swift using a jet. It’s by far the safest thing for her, especially since there are definitively millions of well armed nut-jobs that positively hate her thanks to the right-wing not wanting young kids voting.

      This meme doesn’t help.

        Sometimes yes, but also we’re already at 1.5C and she’s taking it for more than just like reasonable stuff. I can appreciate her politics, but people like her and Musk who use private jets with disturbing frequency are causing extreme damage to the planet

          But do you appreciate the threat? She cannot go on public flights. That leaves driving, which is just as easily tracked, and would likely cause major traffic disruption.

          She’s not just “kinda” famous, she’s Beatles famous in an era of very rapid communication. It would be like The Beatles on the rooftop of Apple Corps everyday, everywhere she went.

          And some of those people will definitely want to harm her.
