BBC nature presenter Chris Packham has urged Taylor Swift to reconsider her “absurd” use of private jets. Packham, known for hosting BBC nature programs and advocating for environmental causes, spoke out after Swift sent a cease and desist letter to a social media blogger who shared details of her international jet usage.
TokyoThe blogger, Jack Sweeney, had calculated and shared that Swift traveled 178,000 miles on two private planes in 2023. Packham expressed particular concern over Swift’s one-day round trip from Tokyo to Las Vegas and back in February to support her boyfriend Travis Kelce at the Super Bowl final.
In an interview with The Mirror, Packham stated:
“We know that private jets are the single greatest contributor when it comes to jet aviation fuel and the least efficient because they’re carrying one person. And so he called her out and she threatened to sue him. And I just thought, ‘You really missed the trick there, Taylor.’
“What you should have said is, ‘You’re right, times have moved on. I’ve got to change my practice. I’m going to sell my private jets’. And that would have been such a powerful thing for her to say to an audience. And I mean, her audience is primarily a young audience, isn’t it? I mean, you can’t say she’s responsible for climate breakdown. But she’s an icon. And as a consequence of that, she should be leading.”
Swift is currently on her record-breaking Eras tour across Europe, with a performance scheduled in Lisbon, Portugal, this weekend. The Mirror approached her for comment, but she has not responded.
