Twice. Imagine being so rich you take a jet, instead of driving across town.

I live her, depending on the time of day, I'd take the jet as well. That particular drive can be miles and miles of gridlock, which is then exacerbated by people playing on their phones and crashing into one another.

I feel like even for her renting a helicopter service would be cheaper than using the jet. Seems excessive for no reason.

Honestly I sort of get why she does it with the amount of money she has, but shes also probably takes her friends along with her which has more room in the jet. Shes also so popular right now that driving could be dangerous for her and taking a jet probably avoids the swarms of people and media that follows her everywhere. Shes so popular right now she would need security on the road in separate cars. Her being part of the NFL Fanbase opens up a whole new level of unhinged fans that either love her or hate her.

I seriously doubt she actually took a private jet for intercity travel. This was almost certainly done for maintenance or storage, which isn't unusual for private jets as it frees up space at more trafficked airports.

That isn't to excuse her as it's still an emission that comes with using a private jet and one easily avoided by just not having a private jet, but it isn't as flippant as Taylor taking a private jet instead of a half-hour car ride.

There is direct evidence that the planet could heal itself. When planes were grounded for 9/11.

This.

It's HIGHLY unlikely that taking such a short trip on an airplane would save any time, and would likely take many times longer than just getting into a vehicle.

She flew from Chesterfield to Cahokia, den back to Chesterfield

Edit; also, why would she be on da plane if it was being taken in for maintenance?

Yes, this same thing was being complained about on reddit the other day. Someone pointed out that the Cahokia airport is the maintenance base for the private jet company, or something like that. So Swift probably wasn't even on the plane, it just went there for some fix or upgrade, then came back.

Private jets are fucking dumb and should be outlawed, but this isn't one of the reasons why.

Also if you can avoid all that attention I wont blame them. Its also not like the country isnt full of more unhinged people today than ever either. Cant even imagine what that would be like to always be in the eyes of everyone constantly under a microscope with all the pressure that comes with it.
