This is it. If Taylor took commercial flights she'd have to book the whole plane. People would book and cancel dozens of flights for the chance to be on hers. I'd bet us airlines would blacklist her just from the disruption.
And that's not even getting into safety issues. The alternative to this is that she travels less and uses buses. This would likely result in fewer concerts. Things already in uber high demand would get more scarce. I doubt her fans would vote for this.
In the end, Taylor creates a LOT more co2 than most people. But she's not really the problem. The problem are the companies using bad fuel sources and lying for decades about climate change. We need legislation to effect real change, not complaining about billionaire entertainer's flights. That won't do shit.
