Taylor Swift aside, don't most worldwide musical acts use private planes? Aside from privacy and security concerns, I thought the big justification was getting a level of traveling flexibility you cannot get through normal commercial channels. It better matches the ideal pace of most musical tours. Also, it's easier to assure that instruments are treated better.

Now that I've typed that all out, I'm get ready to get dunked on.

You can just make the tour longer and take trains and busses.

she's being criticized right now for a lot of things. one such thing is that her private plane is responsible for a lot of emissions. another thing is that she has been accused of being a "fence sitter" in regards to the upcoming election between Joe Biden and Donald Trump

this is just the inevitable result of all “left-liberal” media spheres going hog wild on poptimism as activism and poptimism as progressive values and using pop to project imaginary desires like what if swift was secretly the lgbtqia icon we need???

it’s been very loving weird and annoying to see the past half decade that somehow liking insanely popular thing that needs no promoting or defending because it’s popular by its very definition, is somehow a ‘progressive’ value???

i think this is the dying gasp of it tbh. it started with Live-Aid and thinking that as long as we made the right people famous, they would solve the world's problems altruistically in return. now here we are 40 years later, the world is still dirty and sick and hungry and we don't even want Taylor Swift to fix it for us anymore, just to tell us who she's voting for.

If I remember correctly this happened after biden won the nomination and after the gross alt-right pigs were using her image in pro-nazi or pro-trump stuff. It was her coming out to say "ew. No."

Yup. I enjoy Taylor Swoft songs when I hear them because they're just fairly fun pop songs (Katy Perry is better tho). The fact that she's a chud is just a happy coincidence
