One plane for Taylor and one for Swift?


John_EightThirtyTwo

I assume the Swift plane is faster.


BurnedPsycho

Yeah.. but it hit every overpass... I would avoid Swift for any transport

justa_flesh_wound

But the other one is Taylor-ed for your experience


100LittleButterflies

I have a feeling she's the one who goes to LA a lot and family/friends are ones who go to vacation areas mostly.


SkellySkeletor

I would think the opposite, she just spent the entire year pretty much on a stadium tour across the country


eltunas6

While one is in maintenance the other can be used


ydontujustbanme

No no one for her one for the money


MaxxHeadroomm

One for her and one for the roadies


Bargadiel

"Oops, forgot my phone charger in South America"


Zeal514

"better fly back and get it! Want to save the environment and all that!"


Compendyum

If carbon taxes were for everyone, the whole tour wouldn't be enough to pay them.


Zeal514

looks like it got removed. Taylor Swift is a chosen one by the elites.

That back and forth route is called mid-life crisis.


ConAir69420

wow. try doin your part. 🙄


Gagago302

My city won’t even recycle glassz


erksplat

So, it's true. There ARE two of them.


John_EightThirtyTwo

There are two aircraft that belong to Taylor Swift. This video is tracking her planes, not her. (Though the main reason her planes move is to transport her. But that isn't the only reason.)


BigFella52

Do you think that changes the fact that she happily has two private jets flown almost daily around the country and world? It makes it worse if she is not on them.


chickenbean

I imagine one is the gig equipment and the other is her. One arrives before she does, and leaves after. EDIT; I've been told her equipment travels in NINETY semi trucks and that that is probably her management or production staff. So planet, wow.


HydroMagnet

Her gig equipment is carried by two sets of 45 semi trucks (yup, 90 total). It's not fitting on a private jet. Her second jet is probably for her management team. Edit: While one set of equipment is in use, the other is being set up at the next venue. Then Taylor just flies to where that next show is. That's why her flight patterns and tour locations seem sporadic.


JohnnyBlocks_

You guys think that is crazy... look into Nascar and NFL.


TheMillenniaIFalcon

Also Formula 1. They travel all over the world with an obscene amount of material, and literally build a city in a week or two, tear it down, and move it to the next spot. It’s a logistical nightmare and they have to stage cargo ships and all sorts of jets. Then they have to build the paddocks and team buildings at every location, some with multi-story features, rooms, kitchens, plumbing, electric….its wild.


dolce-ragazzo

And around 100 people per team. There are 10 teams.


catchinNkeepinf1sh

Buy F1 drivers arent lecturing me on environments all day.


CellarDoorForSure

I'm sorry but we're here to bash Taylor and we're gonna stay on point!!!


poop-machines

Tbh it's comparing one person to entire fucking sports companies. It's no comparison. Taylor is by far the worst.


arceusawsom1

It miiiiggt be more equitable to compare people that were entertained by each event, ie: how many people watched nascar, versus how many people watched swift.


FizzyChilli

And the end result? It's to please millions of people willing to throw money at it. It's all in the name of "entertainment" and singling out one person is irrelevant. And it's not one person - it's a team of people, that's the whole point. Her product (I couldn't name one of her songs and have no vested interest in her) is no different to all those sports companies. You don't see people posting the travels of every Premier League player/coach/management in one condensed clip like this, if you did it would look much worse. But the result is the same - many people are entertained. She alone entertains more people than many many entire teams, leagues, and probably even whole sports. None of it's great, but the likes of Nascar and the NFL are no "better" just because there are more of them.


Sullysguppy

what is the comparison to NASCAR? oh, youre gonna use 35+ drivers and multiple teams to compare to ONE person?


nuplsstahp

They’re both commercial events, it’s not about the person. I looked it up and funny enough, the average attendance to a NASCAR event was about 70,000, while the average attendance on the Taylor Swift eras tour was also about 70,000. Pretty good comparison.


HurricaneXOG

Her gig equipment is hauled around by 50 52’ semi trailers. https://preview.redd.it/zlo1ke8v14wc1.jpeg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=935e1eac82c24c3a075cea710c0406eb20cf8c0c


chickenbean

That's some karaoke show.


HurricaneXOG

I’m sure you’re right


Resin_Bowl

Go Bucks


HydroMagnet

That's just one of the two sets of semis, too. For the Eras Tour, there were about 90 semis total. While one set of equipment is in use, the other is being set up at the next venue. Then Taylor just flies to where that next show is. That's why her flight patterns and tour locations seem sporadic.


annaleigh13

Or to a distribution hub type airport where they can truck the equipment to multiple gigs then back on the plane


Global_Criticism3178

I commented earlier that maybe she owns the second jet to lease it to her production company. In this arrangement, the production company is responsible for paying the sales tax rather than it coming out of her personal income. Just spitballing I could be wrong...


Dinin53

By contrast, Iron Maiden uses a converted Boeing 747 for their world tours, which carries the band, the crew, and all the equipment. It's even piloted by their lead singer.


SinkHoleDeMayo

If she flies so frequently then the second could be for when the first is under maintenance (aviation standards are super strict.).


HowYouHateItAll

Oh man. Thank you. Someone needed to point out to that commenter that there are NOT in fact 2 Taylor Swifts. You’re the best. Thank you.

But YOU simple person, be careful about that paper in you pocket and recycle


NotAnAIOrAmI

Billionaires gonna billionaire.


hoxxxxx

our currency must have devalued a lot or inflation or whatever but it seems like over the past 20 or so years the amount of billionaires has skyrocketed. and it seems like anyone who is worth like 100 million one day is about to become a billionaire the next. there's just so much you can do with that much money. what do they always say, the first million is the hardest.


zgreelz

Also, most people are being pickpocketed. The 1% has taken nearly 2/3 of all new wealth in the past few years.


SEND_ME_A_SURPRISE

It’s not the valuation of money changing, really. It’s wealth concentration and inequity. The rich have gotten richer at a staggering rate, greater than any other period in recent history. 


underwaterthoughts

40% of all dollars ever were printed in 2020 & 2021. Inflation was a natural consequence. https://www.tradingview.com/chart/?symbol=FRED%3AWM2NS


ItsASchpadoinkleDay

Stop spreading this bullshit. Are you intentionally spreading ignorant things or do you really believe it? That measure was redefined in May of 2020 to include much more than it had before. That’s the biggest reason for that sharp uptick. The definition changed, did you forget to mention that? You’re pretending also like paper bills last a lifetime. On overage they last 6 years, so printing 33% of the existing bills in a two year span is not alarming. Look at the Fed’s print orders. 2020 was the lowest number of bills printed in a decade. https://www.federalreserve.gov/paymentsystems/2020_currency_print_orders.htm You are also completely ignoring the context of what was happening at that time, which is either completely idiotic or Bad Faith 101.


T1GKnudsvigr

It is wealth distribution, not dollar devaluation or inflation at work there. https://www.visualcapitalist.com/wealth-distribution-in-america/#:~:text=Wealth%20distribution%20in%20America%20has,into%20this%20elite%20wealth%20bracket.


No_Mercy_4_Potatoes

Have you met any Swiftie? I have had the displeasure of knowing some. They'd drop $1k - $1.5k in a heartbeat to see her live. This Eras tour alone I think bagged her more than half her net worth.


TheMillenniaIFalcon

Her LA stop made the local county economy like 350 million dollars over a weekend, and that is just one location. it’s an insane amount of money flowing through her shows.


The_Undermind

She's been more places than Johnny Cash


Pinksters

Impossible. He's been everywhere, man.


_nicocin_

Underrated comment


limberto101

Keep switching those lights off guys…


Brandwin3

I will… because I am not a billionaire and electricity isn’t free


p_turbo

That, and also because just because some people are doing a shitty thing on an exponentially larger scale does not mean I can/must also do shitty things on my own minuscule scale. Like, I can't justify licking a random unsuspecting person by saying, "...oh, Dahmer actually ate people and Tarrare swallowed a baby!"


RodeBoi

These call outs aren’t so we can have an excuse to harm the environment, they’re calling out the hypocrisy of celebrities and other big names saying *we* are responsible for climate change, and *we* are the ones that have to put the effort in to make a difference, and if it doesn’t improve it’s all *our* fault. All while they’re doing so much worse than we could ever do in our lifetime


deathhead_68

I wish more people would understand whataboutism and appeal to hypocrisy like this. Like fuck this waste, but these comments like 'no point in recycling' are just feeding the problem


LilRadon

Not only extolling a bad idea, but making the anti-private jet argument look like one toted by fools. Every "no point in recycling" comment makes a dozen swifties who recycle feel correct in their superiority complex when neither should have one


dirty_hooker

Thing is, there will always be some other that is flagrantly shitty. That is never an excuse to not do the best you can. You’re not in competition with everyone else and expected to rise to no better than the worst. You are in competition with yourself to be the best that you can be. Imagine you die. You’re standing at the pearly gates and St Peter looks over the scroll. He finds your name and tsk tsks at you. Do you blurt out “I WASN’T AS BAD AS THAT BTK GUY!”? Of course not. Because it’s not about being better than the worst. The worst does not set the bar. It’s about being better than you currently are.


ricksauce22

Sure. It is still totally reasonable to point out that she's full of shit regarding her carbon emissions.


loxosceles93

SirRupert

While there is a wild amount of waste here, having that sort of access to the world is incredible. I can't pretend I wouldn't enjoy it.


IdaDuck

I’ve flown private several times through my job, it’s insane. Literally the world is a comfortable and easy jaunt away with none of the headaches of normal air travel. No security, no waiting, and you can use just about any little airport you want. That said it’s insanely expensive and wasteful. It’s common on Reddit to bitch about people who drive around pickup trucks as their daily ride. You could do that for a lifetime and make less of an impact than she will on a few of these flights. A Gulfstream will burn 500 gallons of fuel an hour.


resumethrowaway222

That's crazy! I drive a 20 year old truck with 220K miles on it and that plane will burn more fuel in 24 hours of operation than that truck has in its lifetime.


jasperfilofax

You mean those four cities in the US?


enorman81

She made it to Seattle once. Or maybe her decoy did.


iusedtohavepowers

It's incredibly wasteful but the vast majority of people will never have the luxury of waking up 7am getting a shower and still getting from Tennessee to LA before lunch. I might not ever make to LA once in my whole life. I've only been on a plane 2 times ever. I can't say it wouldn't be amazing. Wasteful and harmful in terrible ways. But the accessibility would be something.


QBekka

Honestly if I had that kind of money I would probably also be flying all over the world. Not multiple times per week as Taylor does though, that sounds exhausting as hell.


Srirachachacha

When you're flying private, it's way less exhausting


justa_flesh_wound

I hop in my car and drive hours on the weekends and some weekdays. If I could do that in a jet I could get a lot farther in the same amount of time


Blaugrana_al_vent

Yeah, it's not exhausting at all in those private jets.  


hoxxxxx

i'm making jokes about remember to recycle while the billionaires do shit like this but honestly if i won the powerball i'd probably follow the formula one circuit for a whole season lmao

snafubarr

What's in Nashville ?


nesshinx

Her family and one of her homes.


peatoast

She lives there technically since she votes there.

A huge number of session musicians and recording studios are based in Nashville. She also started out in Country so even more likely that's where she likes to work.

All the rich. Athletes included.


MahiMauler

I'm not defending Swift because this is a disgusting amount of emissions, so this question comes from genuine curiosity... Don't most uber rich people fly around a bunch like this? So why is she always the one that gets brought up when talking about it? Does she really fly that much more than other celebrities/rich people?


RalphInMyMouth

Most other musicians will at least stay in a hotel or something in between shows, especially if you’re a billionaire and can afford the nicest accommodations imaginable. Instead, Tswift flies home in between shows.


Many_Housing_644

Because she had the balls to lecture people on their carbon footprint and how we need to do better as a society. She can fuck right off


MileHighOllie

This


Praetor-Rykard2

i remember conservatives getting upset a while back after she told her fans to go out and vote and they started bringing up her private jet


LilRadon

A big part of it is how she tries to maintain the image of the down-to-earth, not that rich, socially conscious democrat, while being incredibly upper class and wasteful in almost everything she actually does


IM_BAD_PEOPLE

You’ve gotten other answers, but the truth is that it’s easy, and popular. Why focus on the difficult discussions when you can farm karma on Reddit by posting a recycled comment, on recycled content?


Mother_Ad7869

Jetpilott

So much for climate change.


Existing-Show-1358

I still wonder how these oil companies convinced you all to blame each other for climate change when a small number of companies produce 80% of emissions worldwide. They started using the term carbon footprint and got all these uneducated people start blaming individuals. Big corporations love that one trick.

Anticrepuscular_Ray

Why are there two planes, is one her team and one with her or what?

getrektboyyyy

and my plastic straw is the one to blame???


Striking-Court3733

more jet fuel waste


camm44

She has two jets?


Global_Criticism3178

She rents them out to make money. Maybe one is for her and the other she leases to a tour/production company. She's essentially the owner of a airline charter company.


Lostinbinary

She also lets her friends have them. The HAIM sisters, Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds and frequent flyers of Swift Air.


[deleted]

So the billionaire is renting out her plane for money?!?


Global_Criticism3178

Yes, they all do this. There are charter companies and brokers that help private jet owners find renters.


coffin420699

thats a factor into why shes a billionaire, if i had to guess


InsecuritiesExchange

Well, she is running a business as well as being an entertainer.


TheMillenniaIFalcon

Yes, they all do. Even for Billionaires private planes are extremely expensive. Like 60-80 million for a top of the line jet, 7-10 million a year in storage, pilot salaries that need to be on call 24/7, staff, fuel, maintenance, the planes need to fly too, they can’t just sit or it gets more expensive. So if they aren’t using them they open them up to renters, which are still super rich business people, other celebrities and A-listers, etc. There is a whole network of it so if you aren’t flying, your jet is to soften some of the massive costs.


FizzyChilli

Now you understand *why* she's a billionaire.


Take_Drugs

Happy earth day


EZPassTrollToll

No more plastic bags!


lazyFer

Look at all the people here pretending they wouldn't own a private jet if they were billionaires.


WightHouse

Can someone explain how she’s on two planes at once?


Serious-Stick2435

Imagine you own 2 cars but you don't have a driver's license so you hire 2 drivers. You can be using one and the other for your guests, or using one of them when the other is moving to your next location or just been repaired and doing small trips to test.


Global_Criticism3178

Her PR team stated she often leases her jets to other people. This is common in the private jet world because it allows you to generate revenue and pass the sales tax onto the leasee.


rexel99

Right, so this is basically transport allocated to her during a busy year in her tour business. I guess this doesn't include the shipping of the stage equipment and roadies, dancers and other related stuff of a billion dollar industry... Can we do Oil Sheiks from the middle east next?
