I have a question.

I fully recognize Taylor Swifts privilege. She is a global superstar with millions and millions of fans.

Her job is to entertain. In order to do that - she needs to be able to travel places efficiently.

While I can also recognize that she does make what seem to be, at least from the outside looking in, unnecessary short flights. What other alternatives are there?

What can be done to offset or prevent this?

Clearly it's a bigger problem than just Taylor Swift and I get it's meme staus right now, and please don't think I'm defending her actions - I'm just saying I understand why she's doing it based on her status. Again - doesn't make it right, it just is what it is.

What can be done other than breaking down fame worshiping on a global level - is a fleet of buses more eco friendly? Does she move to online only performances? I genuinely do not know what the answer is - but I am curious to hear what she, and others that fly way more than I ever will, can do differently.

please don’t think I’m defending her actions

literally defends her actions and says she has no other choice

I didn't say she had no other choice - I'm asking what her other choices are.
