Taylor Swift must know all too well the horrors of driving in St. Louis, because instead of braving city streets, her private jet recently took a 13-minute journey between Cahokia Heights to Chesterfield — twice.
The 28-mile flight went from Chesterfield (almost certainly the Spirit of Saint Louis Airport) to Cahokia Heights (almost certainly the misleadingly named Downtown St. Louis Airport) — and then, later that day, back again.
The trips were first reported by a Taylor Swift Jet tracking account on X (formerly known as Twitter). The account says they occurred on January 30.
Later that day, the return flight from Cahokia Heights to Chesterfield took approximately $443 in jet fuel and produced 0.8342 tons of CO2 emissions, according to the tracker .
The internet has been in an uproar about Swift’s jet use and contribution to the production of carbon emissions in the days leading up to last night’s Super Bowl. As a possible result of this backlash, and of social media accounts like the one above tracking her movements, Swift sold one of her jets.
