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.
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.
The cultural fascination with her doesn’t demand that she use private jets to fly almost 200,000 miles a year.
Doesn’t it though, imagine her trying to go through the airport. If people would leave her alone it would work out, but cultural fascination implies people will be fascinated. And therefore she, and every other person at the airport will end up delayed over and over and over.

13 minute flight to go 28 miles. Maybe a car might have sufficed?
Not defending her, but it’s sorta ambiguous. It sounds like this may have been prep for selling the aircraft.
Per the article you linked:
“The last few flights on this account are right around the time that N898TS was sold,” he wrote. “Registration for the aircraft transferred 2/4/2024. These short flights are likely maintenance or demo flights.”
