Taylor Swift Responds To Critics After She Tops Worst Private Jet CO2 Emissions List

Taylor Swift is getting backlash from critics about her private jet’s carbon footprint.

The “Shake it Off” singer was accused of polluting the earth by flying in her private jet 170 times between Jan. 1 and July 29, according to Yard, a sustainability marketing agency that prides itself on “cutting-edge data and analysis.”

However, a representative for the 32-year-old pop star said, “Taylor’s jet is loaned out regularly to other individuals. To attribute most or all of these trips to her is blatantly incorrect,” according to TMZ. 

The research gathered by Yard shows results for “which celebrities are the worst private jet CO2 emission offenders,” with Swift racking up more than 22,000 minutes in the air, or the equivalent of 16 days.
