**Taylor Swift’s Private Jet Grounded After Accusations of High Carbon Emissions**
*Published Oct. 17, 2025, 4:20 p.m. ET*
Pop superstar Taylor Swift has recently come under fire for the environmental impact of her private jet, accused of pumping out thousands of tonnes of CO2 with her frequent flights. However, RadarOnline.com can now reveal that the Earth’s atmosphere is getting a much-needed break from the mega-rich singer, as her jet has been grounded for the past four months.
### What’s Wrong With Swift’s Private Jet?
The jet of the “Bad Blood” singer has been parked since June — that’s around four months of no flights. However, this pause doesn’t appear to be due to Swift suddenly adopting eco-friendly habits. Jack Sweeney, a college graduate who has famously tracked Swift’s plane via a flight tracker, claims that the luxury jet is currently undergoing “heavy maintenance” after falling into a state of disrepair.
Sweeney’s X account, *TaylorSwiftJets*, reports that the plane’s last trip was on June 9th, flying from Nashville to Little Rock, Arkansas. This followed several days of flights around Florida, coinciding with Swift and her fiancé Travis Kelce’s visit to watch the Florida Panthers and Edmonton Oilers face off in the Stanley Cup Final.
### Details on Swift’s Luxury Plane
The jet, a 16-year-old Dassault Falcon 7X, is clearly taking a well-deserved rest after a busy few years in the air. It had already flown more than 70 times in the first six months of this year before being temporarily grounded.
This private jet can carry up to 11 passengers and travel over 6,000 miles at speeds of up to 540 miles per hour. During 2023, Swift’s busiest tour year, her two jets—which included one she sold last year—traveled a combined total of 178,000 miles. To put that into perspective, that’s equivalent to flying around the world seven times, emitting approximately 1,200 tonnes of CO2.
### Legal Threat Over Jet Tracking
Jack Sweeney, who gained notoriety for tracking Swift’s plane, has previously faced legal challenges. In December 2023, Swift’s legal team sent him a “cease and desist” letter, accusing him of aiding stalkers and putting the singer’s safety at risk.
The letter stated:
*”While this may be a game to you, or an avenue that you hope will earn you wealth or fame, it is a life-or-death matter for our Client. Ms. Swift has dealt with stalkers and other individuals who wish her harm since she was a teenager… the reality has forced our Client to live her life in a constant state of fear for her personal safety.”*
Despite the threat, Sweeney remains unrepentant and continues his tracking activities.
### Elon Musk Also Clashed with Sweeney
Sweeney is no stranger to high-profile confrontations. Previously, in 2022, he clashed with Elon Musk after managing a jet-tracker account for the Tesla founder. Musk accused Sweeney of endangering his life by sharing his plane’s real-time location and even offered $5,000 to stop the tracking—but Sweeney refused.
Speaking to *The Sun*, Sweeney said:
*”They [Swift and Musk] both have different kinds of powers. But if I’m not gonna back down from someone that I was kind of a fan of, like Elon, so why would I back down for Swift? They thought that just because of the [cease and desist] letter, they’d try and intimidate me.”*
He added:
*”They don’t want you there, they’re the bigger person, have bigger power, and they think they can do stuff like that.”*

As Taylor Swift’s private jet remains grounded for maintenance, the planet gets a temporary respite from the carbon emissions caused by her busy travel schedule. Whether this marks the start of a more eco-conscious chapter for the pop icon remains to be seen.
