PHILADELPHIA (AP) — For weeks, scrutiny over singer Taylor Swift’s travel in private jets has been bubbling up on social media, with people pointing out the planet-warming emissions of carbon dioxide released with every flight.
The megastar is dating Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, one of the NFL's most celebrated players. The growing romance between the couple has been closely watched, with Swift showing up at several games—which has meant much travel on private jets. The chatter got even louder the last few days after the Chiefs beat the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday, sending them to the Super Bowl, which is in Las Vegas on Feb. 11.
Swift is the latest in a long list of celebrities, government officials and elite businesspeople to come under scrutiny about private jet travel.
