“Billionaires aren’t our friends”: Taylor Swift gets heavily called out for using private jet amid Katy Perry’s Blue Origin trip to space

Taylor Swift faces criticism for her carbon footprint after a fan account seemingly defended her private jet use by referencing Katy Perry's involvement in Blue Origin's space trip. Fans argue that both activities contribute to environmental damage, regardless of scale. This surfaces amidst Kanye West controversy, where Swift has taken legal action following his explicit social media posts about her.

Taylor Swift became a billionaire in 2023 and has constantly been in the news due to her work and personal life. While Taylor Swift has remained silent amidst the Kanye West controversy, the pop star has now found herself in a new controversy and is being heavily called out. Taylor Swift taking a private jet to places has always been in the news but now fans are not holding her back from calling her out due to the recent Blue Origin’s trip to space.

A fan account of Taylor Swift’s took to X and posted a screenshot of the news around Blue Origin’s trip to space for 11 minutes which also had famous singer Katy Perry on it. The caption for the post reads as, “saving this for the next time I see someone complaining about Taylor’s jet”.
The trip to space has already sparked major backlash but the post made by Taylor Swift’s fan account raised eyebrows and fans are now calling out the pop sensation.

A fan commented, “this one being worse doesn’t make taylor’s okay. they’re both bad”, while another fan wrote, “The blue origin flights use liquid nitrogen and oxygen instead of fossil fuels to save environment. Private jets use fossil fuels.”
A third fan commented, “They're both bad? One being worse doesn't suddenly cancel out the other. Always be critical of these things - billionaires aren't your friends. You can love Taylor Swift's music whilst criticising her actions and the systemic issues she perpetuates whole ALSO criticising this bs”
Another user posted, “okay and? both aren’t any good. doesn’t matter who it is either way they’re both billionaires emitting a sh*t ton of harmful emissions. just because katy’s done so by a larger amount doesn’t mean taylor’s isn’t also still an insanely large amount.”

A fifth fan noted, “reminder that we should get on all rich people for doing this!!”
Taylor Swift taking her private jet for short trips, has constantly been criticised for a few years now, but the pop star has remained silent about it.
