Superstar Taylor Swift (35), who won the ‘Album of the Year’ award four times for the first time in Grammy history and is said to have even influenced the US presidential election, got angry and said she would ‘take legal action’ against the college student who tracked her private plane. .
According to the Washington Post, an American daily, on the 6th (local time), Swift warned Jack Sweeney (21), a third-year student at the University of Central Florida, that she would take legal action through her lawyer.
Sweeney has been running an account for years to estimate greenhouse gas emissions by tracking the takeoffs and landings of the planes and helicopters of hundreds of billionaires, politicians and celebrities, arguing that greenhouse gases emitted by private jets are having a negative impact on climate change.
Swift lived up to her reputation and was busy using a private jet.
As a result, it was given the disgrace of being ranked ‘No. 1 in carbon emissions’ by the British digital marketing company Yard.
Swift emitted 8,293 tons of carbon dioxide in the first half of last year alone, a whopping 2,369 times more than the average person who emits 7 tons per year.
Swift, who became sensitive to the criticism of excessive carbon emissions, sent a letter to Sweeney through a lawyer in December of last year saying, “If the harassment does not stop, I will use all legal means.”
In the letter, the lawyer said, “Your actions have put our client (Swift) in fear for her personal safety. This may be a game for you, or a path to fame and fortune, but for our client, it is a matter of life and death.” “It’s all over,” he said, demanding it stop.
However, rather than deleting the account, Sweeney provided a copy of Swift’s letter to the Washington Post.
At the same time, he rejected claims that Swift’s movements were exposed and dangerous because of him, saying, “I only provided information about which city Swift is in, and it is similar to the schedule she revealed, such as attending concerts and NFL games.”
