taylor swift publicly has a tour schedule that anyone with internet access can get. and I'm sure that these places have airports. and flight logs are public. it's not hard to figure out what plane left from the city she was in is going to her next tour date.

if she, the most famous and richest white woman on the planet doesn't want her movements tracked her movements would not be tracked.

Note that her private plane is a bit separate and I think flying a private plane means your privacy is screwed unless you absolutely know your tail number is a secret.

On the matter of tour schedule, that may be a matter of 'professional' versus 'personal' time. While doing her professional act, well, her whereabouts are obviously well known and extra precautions and vigilance are part of the cost of doing business. During 'off' time one might reasonably hope for being able to let your guard down a touch when you get to your rural mountain cabin that no one should know about.

Again, using a private jet as means of transport throws that out the window, but the concept that your work itinerary being widely known implies that of course your personal itinerary is fair game is not something I can get behind.
