Taylor Swift claims she offsets her travel carbon footprint – how does that work?

Taylor Swift has been criticised for her private plane usage, but claims to have bought double the amount of carbon credits needed to offset her flights for the Eras Tour.

Many of Swift’s private jet voyages, Sweeney’s tracking has shown, coincided with football games – including a flight to Buffalo, New York, where the musician attended the 21 January Chiefs v Buffalo Bills game, and a 28 January trip to Baltimore, Maryland for the Chiefs v Baltimore Ravens game.

Last week, it was revealed that Swift’s legal team sent Sweeney a cease and desist letter in December 2023 stating that his “wrongful and dangerous actions must stop” and threatening legal action against the University of Central Florida student. Swift’s team alleged that Sweeney’s actions were endangering Swift’s safety and that this is a “life-or-death matter”. In the letter, Sweeney is being accused of “stalking and harassing behaviour” by Swift’s attorney.
