Summary Taylor Swift's success as a musician has resulted in her becoming one of the best-selling music artists worldwide. Swift's private jet, a Dassault Falcon 7X, has flown 59 flights and consumed nearly 60,000 gallons of aviation fuel in 2024 thus far. Despite criticism for carbon emissions, Swift purchased double the carbon credits needed to offset her global tour.
Taylor Swift is one of the most famous pop stars in the world. She began songwriting at fourteen years old and started singing shortly after. Her first country pop album was released in 2006, and she became a country star shortly after.
Since then, the West Reading, Pennsylvania native has expanded her singing portfolio and has become one of the most prominent musicians in the world. She continued to release popular albums, such as Red, 1989, and Reputation, throughout the 2010s. Her music shifted slightly more after signing with a new record label in 2018 and releasing other popular albums such as Lover, Folklore, Evermore, and, most recently, The Tortured Poets Department.
These albums, as well as her released singles, have helped her become one of the world's best-selling music artists. Overall, she has sold an estimated 200 million records, and has also received 14 Grammy Awards and countless other musical awards. Her success has led her to her ongoing concert tour, called the Eras Tour, which has become the highest-grossing tour for a female act of all time, reaching over $1 billion in revenue.
This has led Swift to become the first billionaire with music as her main source of income. Taylor Swift owns and operates a Dassault Falcon 7X aircraft. Due to her financial status, it is no wonder that Swift operates a private jet .
This business jet provides her with the ability to depart whenever she pleases and also fly to a wider variety of airports. These perks have helped her navigate the world during the Eras Tour and other global events. However, Swift has also come under fire recently for her seemingly extravagant use of her jet.
Her private jet has placed her near the top of celebrities who emit the most carbon emissions - however, Swift and her publicist team have revealed that she had purchased more than double the carbon credits needed to offset her global tour. Let's take a closer look at where her private jet has operated throughout the year so far. Let's also take a closer look at the unique aircraft that Swift and her team operate .
Flying in 2024 Currently, Taylor Swift flies on a Dassault Falcon 7X, which is registered as N621MM. According to JetSpy , this aircraft has flown a total of 59 flights this year, accumulating 159 total flight hours. These flights have utilized just under 60,000 gallons of aviation fuel.
This amount of fuel is estimated to emit just under 550 metric tons of carbon emissions, per JetSpy. Additionally, the top three most visited airports for Swift's private jet are: Nashville International Airport (NAS) in Tennessee Hollywood Burbank Airport (BUR) in California Morristown Municipal Airport (MMU) in New Jersey According to JetSpy, the jet's most active month of the year so far was in January. This includes flights to Baltimore Washington International Airport (BWI), Buffalo Niagara International Airport (BUF), and Charles B.
Wheeler Downtown Airport (MKC). Charles B. Wheeler Downtown Airport is in Kansas City, which is notable as it is where her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, a tight end on the Kansas City Chiefs, plays football.
Her jet also flew to Harry Reid International Airport (LAS) in Las Vegas, Nevada, on the day of this year's NFL Super Bowl, which Kelce played in. About Taylor Swift's private jet Swift's jet was originally manufactured in 2009 with a serial number of 27, making it one of the earlier Dassault Falcon 7Xs produced. The aircraft has a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) registered owner of Island Jet, which is based in Swift's current residence - Nashville, Tennessee.
N621MM was officially registered by Island Jet in 2018, meaning this is when Swift and her team most likely purchased the aircraft. Since then, according to JetSpy, the aircraft has registered the following yearly stats: Year 2019 2020 2021 2022 2023 Total flights 114 flights 109 flights 128 flights 65 flights 97 flights Flight hours 443 hours 356 hours 388 hours 233 hours 216 hours Carbon emissions (metric tons of CO2) 1,516 1,221 1,331 797 742 Interesting features of the Dassault Falcon 7X The Falcon 7X is a large-cabin, long-range private jet created by Dassault Aviation. The project was first unveiled in 2001 at the Paris Air Show.
Dassault intended to create a more efficient and highly upgraded version of its successful Falcon 900 series of aircraft. Swift previously operated a Dassault Falcon 900 before eventually purchasing her Falcon 7X . Dassault designed a new high-speed supercritical wing that was longer and featured a higher sweep.
The French aircraft manufacturer also stretched the fuselage, creating a larger cabin, although it kept the same cabin cross-section as the Falcon 900. Dassault also upgraded its engine and provided the jet with a new avionics package. After several years of development, the first prototype aircraft conducted its maiden flight in May 2005.
By then, the company had already received nearly 50 deposits for future aircraft. The aircraft was eventually certified in 2007, and deliveries of the aircraft began shortly after. The long-range business jet has the following specifications: Maximum capacity 16 passengers Length 76.
08 feet Height 25.67 feet Wingspan 86 feet Maximum takeoff weight (MTOW) 70,000 pounds Maximum speed 516 knots (594 miles per hour) Range 5,950 nautical miles (6,847 miles) Service ceiling 51,000 feet.
