On the Twitter platform, Taylor Swift has sparked a wave of criticism, for using a private jet during the Eras Tour.

Taylor Swift flew into Australia for the Eras Tour by luxury aircraft. The pop star was reported to use her Global 6000 earlier this month. 

Additionally, the girlfriend of an NFL star also used this aircraft to travel between Melbourne and Sydney as she continued her tour. 

A source reported that Swif even sent the aircraft to Hawaii to pick up her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, last week in Sydney so that he could watch her perform.

Additionally, several express their concern about Taylor Swift's use of a private jet in the Earth climate change as a 'horrific situation'.

They tweet: "Taylor Swift sent her private jet from Sydney to Hawaii to pick up her boyfriend Travis Kelce and bring him to Australia. The round trip will emit 3 metric tons of CO2. 

The CO2 emissions are equivalent to melting 95.4 square feet of Arctic sea ice.

RULES FOR THEE, NONE FOR ME"

The spokesperson also noted that Swift is actively working to reduce her jet's carbon emissions by traveling less frequently compared to previous years.

As reported by the Daily Mail, they said: "Before the tour kicked off in March of 2023, Taylor purchased more than double the carbon credits needed to offset all tour travel.".
