This is practically jaywalking compared to the other people in this meme.

The point isn’t to subject them to gradation, it’s to note the damages they all do in their different ways.

Taylor isn’t exempt from being held responsible for her part just because she’s a nice person.

I mean what is she supposed to do, take a riverboat to her next tour? She’s a direct result of a larger cultural fascination, not the problem itself.

13 minute flight to go 28 miles. Maybe a car might have sufficed?

The cultural fascination with her doesn’t demand that she use private jets to fly almost 200,000 miles a year.

I’m with you, she can’t possibly take any form of public transport. Not because she’s somehow better than the rest of us, but for security if nothing else.

And honestly, I can’t imagine how much she would disrupt a public airport or train station. No way I would want to be in that place at the same time, it would be chaos.

There’s plenty she could do and tons of other acts throughout history that managed to do what she does with a smaller carbon footprint.

“She has no choice!” is not an argument to defend what she does.
