Taylor Swift recently got rid of one of her private jets, a Dassault Falcon 900, amid reports of her efforts to curtail flight tracking. The Federal Aviation Authority confirmed the change in ownership on January 30.
Formerly registered under SATA LLC, associated with Swift’s Nashville address, the jet is now under a Missouri-based company established in 2006. While details of the transaction remain undisclosed, a new Dassault 900 can cost up to $44 million. Swift now owns one remaining private jet, a Dassault 7X, with a larger cabin and passenger capacity.
Her upcoming trips
Swift’s travel plans, including upcoming Tokyo concerts and a trip to support her boyfriend at the Super Bowl in Las Vegas, prompt speculation about her transportation choices.
Given her preference for private jets, concerns about environmental impact have arisen, especially after reports of her high private-jet carbon emissions. Swift’s spokesperson disclosed her purchase of carbon credits to offset this, but criticism persists.
Swift’s efforts to maintain privacy, including enrolling in the FAA’s privacy program, have not shielded her from scrutiny. College student Jack Sweeney, known for tracking celebrity flights, received a cease-and-desist letter from Swift’s legal team after sharing her flight data, accusing him of “stalking and harassing behavior.” Yet, Sweeney defended his actions as transparency-driven.
“I think the people are interested,” Sweeney said.
“You should have a decent expectation that your jet will be tracked whether or not I do it as, after all, it is public information. Nowhere do I intend to harm.”
