Taylor Swift sells one of her private jets after controversy over its use and monitoring

Taylor Swift is, without a doubt, the artist of the moment. After almost 20 years of career and having published songs such as Look What You Make Me Do, You Belong With We, Love song or Cruel summer, Swift has gained a loyal following of followers from all over the globe who support her. and defend against wind and tide.

Yesterday it emerged that the artist had taken legal action against Jack Sweeney, a Florida college student who had tracked and publicly shared the location of her private jet. According to the American, this directly violates her right to privacy and her personal safety.

Despite her great media influence and the desperate attempts she has made to hide the issue, this complaint has fueled the controversy surrounding Taylor Swift's use of private jets. A little over a year ago, it was published that the singer used said vehicle for short distances (half an hour by car), something that angered the most environmentally conscious population.

As reported by several United States media, the 34-year-old millionaire artist has sold one of her aircraft (her Dassault Falcon 900, a private jet that she had had since 2009). The sale took place on January 30, as stated on the website of the Federal Aviation Authority.

Although the sale of said plane could have reached 40 million euros, the Daily Mail has reported that the use that the singer had given to the private jet would have lowered its price to 7 million dollars. It should be remembered that Swift already sold another of its planes in 2020, a Dassault Falcon 50 jet for 4 million euros, so it currently only has one in its possession.

While many of her fans celebrate that she has become more aware of the climate crisis, many others have expressed their doubts about whether Taylor has acted on the criticism, since she has always been "dull" and with little self-criticism. about this theme.
