Singer Taylor Swift’s representatives are responding to a report on her CO2 emissions.
A study by Yard Group listed Swift as number one on its CO2 offenders list.
The study explained Swift has racked up “a total of 170 flights since January, Taylor’s jet has amassed a vast 22,923 minutes in the air – 15.9 days. Quite a large amount considering that she is not currently touring.”
It continued, “Taylor’s jet has an average flight time of just 80 minutes and an average of 139.36 miles per flight. Her total flight emissions for the year come in at 8,293.54 tonnes, or 1,184.8 times more than the average person’s total annual emissions. Taylor’s shortest recorded flight of 2022 was just 36 minutes, flying from Missouri to Nashville.”
A representative for Swift responded to the report, saying, “Taylor’s jet is loaned out regularly to other individuals.”
The representative added, “To attribute most or all of these trips to her is blatantly incorrect.”
Yard Group did acknowledge that the list “is not conclusive to the biggest offenders.”
Other celebrities included on the list are Floyd Mayweather, Jay-Z, A-Rod and Blake Shelton.
Twitter users reacted to the report, mocking Swift.
Swift made headlines in 2020 as she continued to weigh in on politics, endorsing President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris.
“I spoke to about why I’ll be voting for Joe Biden for president. So apt that it’s come out on the night of the VP debate,” Swift tweeted.
She continued, “Gonna be watching and supporting by yelling at the tv a lot. And I also have custom cookies.”
