Taylor Swift, a prominent figure in the music industry, has faced scrutiny for her carbon emissions during her 2024 Eras Tour. Known for her successful career, Swift has sold over 200 million records and won 14 Grammy Awards. Her recent tour, the Eras Tour, has become the highest-grossing tour for a female artist, generating over $1 billion in revenue.

However, critics have pointed out the environmental impact of her extensive travel. According to Payless Power, an energy provider based in Texas, Swift's travel on her private jet during the second leg of her tour emitted over 440 metric tons of carbon emissions. The analysis included stops at Kansas City Chiefs football games where her boyfriend Travis Kelce plays.

Swift owns a Dassault Falcon 7X private jet registered as N621MM through Island Jet Inc., a Nashville-based holding company. This aircraft is known for its long-range capabilities and was first introduced by Dassault Aviation in 2009.
