One thing I've thought about is that because she's so mega famous, it'd likely be terrible for her to take any form of public transport. She'd get swarmed by people wanting autographs and paparazzi. So I've been thinking that maybe she does it so much because it's the most private way to travel.

I guess an alternative is just too have a chauffeur drive you when the distance is manageable, but then getting in and out would more likely be at public facing areas rather than somewhere a bit more private like an airport.

I dunno, just what I've been thinking. There are stories of people like Keanu Reeves taking public transport, so he must be able to do it done, but he's also not the ultra-mega-star that Taylor is

This is it. If Taylor took commercial flights she'd have to book the whole plane. People would book and cancel dozens of flights for the chance to be on hers. I'd bet us airlines would blacklist her just from the disruption.

And that's not even getting into safety issues. The alternative to this is that she travels less and uses buses. This would likely result in fewer concerts. Things already in uber high demand would get more scarce. I doubt her fans would vote for this.

In the end, Taylor creates a LOT more co2 than most people. But she's not really the problem. The problem are the companies using bad fuel sources and lying for decades about climate change. We need legislation to effect real change, not complaining about billionaire entertainer's flights. That won't do shit.

There was a whole movie made about Keanu Reeves taking public transportation. It's called Speed.

Seriously, I'll have to look and see when Keanu took public transportation.

On top of being terrible for her, it would actually become a huge problem to organise having fans swarm up an area as soon as she's spotted in public
