In an article from the Associated Press, Taylor Swift continues her tour around the globe following her winning her 14th Grammy and the announcement of her new album titled "The Tortured Poets Department" which is set to be released on April 19th.
US singer-songwriter Taylor Swift arrives for the 65th Annual Grammy Awards at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles on February 5, 2023.
Her latest stop in her tour before she makes her way back to Las Vegas in the United States to support her partner, Travis Kelce during the Super Bowl on Sunday, was Tokyo Japan.
Many fans had eagerly waited for her return. One fan, Chiyuki Fujii, who had not seen Swift perform in five years, had purchased six VIP tickets in addition to purchasing one for each of Swift's four nights in Tokyo. This cost the super fan, a whopping 780,000 yen which is equivalent to $5,270 in USD. But Fujii has said that it was worth it. Japanese fans have prayed for her safe return to the States.
However, all of this travel has also placed Swift and other celebrities under strong criticism due to their private jet adventures. These travels have been reported to rack up a heavy carbon emissions receipt. The article states that if Swift flies straight from Tokyo to the Super Bowl her private jet will emit a whopping 19,000 miles of emissions that will contribute to the crisis that is Climate Change. According to another report by the news outlet that would mean Swift alone would be emitting 14 times as much as the average American home in a single year. But Swift's publicist has stated that the star has purchased more than double the carbon credits that will be needed to balance out her travels.
Her Lawsuit
HNGN recently reported that Time Magazine has revealed the full cease-and-desist letter sent by Taylor Swift's legal team to the college student monitoring her private jet flights, emphasizing the superstar's commitment to protecting her privacy.
The document, dated December 22, 2023, from law firm Venable LLP gained attention after surfacing on Reddit on Tuesday. Jack Sweeney, a junior at the University of Central Florida, confirmed to the media that the letter matched what he had received.
Swift's lawyers underscored the gravity of the situation, labeling it as a "life-or-death matter" for the pop icon, who has faced persistent stalking and online harassment.
