Way to kill the goodwill you’ve been gaining Taylor
Ehh, she is still human. She is one of the most recognizable and sought after a celebrities we’ve seen in a very long time. It must be absolutely horrible to be 24/7 in the public eye. But you can’t fight it and she hasn’t learned that yet. Try not to blame her, just be glad we got a level of goodwill that you don’t find in most celebrities, and hope that it continues.
I feel you. Makes sense to me.
I wonder why someone hasn’t started a Part 135 for celebrities that way they can’t be tracked per se. Rent out planes instead of being owned by any one celebrity.
No one is forcing her to fly around that much. And she’s by no means a new up and coming celebrity but has been dealing with this since 2 decades now.
So no, she doesn’t get a free pass to use her wealth to silence very deserved criticism of her disgusting global footprint! Heck, she could spend a tiny amount of her dragon hoard sized wealth to donate to environmental protection to offset this footprint. But no, she rather uses that money to sue someone who she knows doesn’t have the wealth to fight her legally.
You don’t even need to fly commercial to avoid being tracked in this way. If you charter planes then the tracking strategy falls apart too.
Owning your own plane means that anyone who cares gets to know your rough goings on. For example, we get to hear Harrison Ford get in trouble for accidentally landing on a taxiway in his plane (he was quite reasonable about it)
Only half the country is inundated and riled up to see her as an Enemy of the State and an Enemy of the people. There must be many thousands now who want to see her raped, tortured and killed. She’s been vilified. And she’s not really a political figure unlike Musk who controls a significant part of the worlds communication medium and is politically active.
Taylor Swift has enough money to protect herself, but imagine someone less wealthy would be similarly tracked and/or vilified.
someone less wealthy would be similarly tracked
I’m sympathetic to the perspective, but actually no, someone less wealthy couldn’t be similarly tracked. To be tracked in this specific way, you must have exclusive ownership of plane(s) with tail numbers.
If you fly commercial and don’t publish your itenirary publicly, then the public won’t know your association with the flight. If you charter a private flight, then again no one knows that chartered plane == you. You have to actually own a dedicated private plane for anyone to use these resources to confidently track you in particular.
So I’m broadly sympathetic to the plight of celebrities with respect to paparazzi and stalkers and such. But with the availability of charter flights, hard for me to be too sympathetic of someone afflicted by private plane tracking.
Nobody should own a car. If you have one, you get put on a list and hunted down! :D
