Can someone explain
There was an early criticism of celebs like Taylor Swift using private jets, because of the ecological effects / fuel usage; claiming it’s hypocritical because she’s pro-environment.
Honestly, given the equipment / celeb focus (and that people all around the world want to hear her live), the use of a jet isn’t that wasteful imo, but the continued meme of having her take a jet for minor trips is silly enough it’s fun anyway.
There was someone on Instagram or TikTok criticizing her for flying from LAX to another airport like, three minutes away. As though she were on what was almost certainly a repositioning flight. I doubt she has a hanger at LAX.
People are kind of silly.
What, how does she hang her clothes there? Stack them like a pleb?
The original meme, started because a cultist (fan) started tracking her flights(public information).
She takes a LOT of private flights, it turned out many weren't her but friends/family using the planes. She got flak because she's pro environment.
Hence a meme was born.
