Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce romance is bad for the planet. Couple burns a whopping $70,779 jet fuel in the last three months

Taylor Swift has once again topped the list of ‘biggest celebrity CO2 polluter’ for the year 2023. The 34-year-old global music sensation's frequent travels, primarily to spend time with her boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, have resulted in an astonishing 138 tons of CO2 emissions over the past three months alone.

Swift's well-publicized romance has seen her crisscrossing the skies between New York, Kansas City, and various South American destinations for her ongoing Eras Tour. According to statistics tracked by Taylor Swift's Jets on Instagram, her twelve trips have had an environmental impact equivalent to the energy consumption of 17 houses in a year or the electricity use of 26.9 homes over the same period.

The singer, who owns two multi-million dollar planes, a Dassault Falcon 7x, and a Dassault Falcon 900, has faced criticism for her significant carbon footprint.


According to the Greenhouse Gas Equivalencies Calculator, 138 tons of CO2 emissions would require planting 2,282 trees and letting them grow for a decade to offset the environmental damage caused by her flights.

In response to accusations, a spokesperson for Swift stated that the star had purchased more than double the necessary carbon credits to offset all tour travel before the Eras Tour kicked off in March 2023. The excess credits were expected to cover the additional flights undertaken to support Kelce's games and her planned tour travels.

Despite environmental concerns, the pair frequently traveled to and from his games and her concerts to spend time together. Swift's temporary move into Kelce's $6 million Kansas City mansion has fueled speculation about the seriousness of their relationship.

As the Eras Tour temporarily pauses, the couple has enjoyed downtime, intensifying their connection. While Taylor doesn't return to the stage until February 7 for the Japan leg of her tour, the singer plans to take the Eras Tour to Europe, Asia, and Australia in 2024.
