I barely pay attention to Taylor Swift and yet she is the sole frequent target I see of criticism about her private jet. When like, isn't having a private jet just the typical thing for everyone at her level of fortune? The fact that she gets so much more criticism for it that I don't even have to go looking to find does strike me as not unreasonable to blame partly on misogyny.

Honestly I don't think people would make half as big a deal about it if not that her fans loudly wet their pants about it whenever someone brings it up. Also it's one of the relatively few legitimate complaints to be made about her and people aren't happy to just dislike someone these days, they have to frame their dislike as a moral issue, so those who dislike her for what are probably just matters of taste or preference have latched onto the pollution thing really hard.

You missed the whole "LOL DiCaprio using a private jet everywhere while making an environment documentary lol hypocrite!"?

She's being criticized for being a billionaire who doesn't care if she leaves a bigger carbon footprint than a good chunk of the US population combined, the same as any other billionaire who frequently flies on their private jet. She is not being singled out for being a woman. Hell, if I recall, at one point there were Twitter accounts dedicated to tracking the activity of other people like Musk, Zuckerberg, and even Trump.

She is being singled out for this by, strangely, Republicans who are mad that she's not one (and who don't give a shit about Elon's carbon footprint.)

[(Anonymous)]

I haven't seen any Republicans calling her out for her private jet use, but they tend to project so I wouldn't be surprised. But plenty of non-Republicans criticize this as well, just as much as they criticize any other billionaire.

Those accounts still exist except the one tracking Elon Musk. And his information on the website is subject to a 24 hour delay. That’s the best TS can hope for with her legal challenge but if she had decent lawyers she never would have filed suit, so I doubt she’ll succeed.

[(Anonymous)]

She’s not the sole target, though? This has been a recurring issue with loads of the super rich. TS is just a bit more in the news in the last week for it because she’s trying to shut down the guy who publishes the (already publicly available) information. That created a Streisand Effect because it jumped from shallow pop culture blogs and into the news. It was incredibly stupid of her tbh because even Elon Musk couldn’t get the guy shut down and no one knew or cared that she topped the list until she tried to have it squashed.

How long has she been trying to cover it up? I feel like I've seen whataboutisms about her private jet cropping up in conversations about her for a couple years.

[(Anonymous)]

In fandom/pop culture circles or general public?

[(Anonymous)]

I've been hearing complaints about her private jet for at least a year now. It definitely didn't start with her getting upset about being tracked recently.

The difference is that it made the leap from entertainment and lifestyle news to actual news, which has a much broader audience.
