Travis Kelce has landed in Sydney to join Taylor Swift as she continues her record-breaking Eras Tour in Australia—and people are furious.
The pop superstar hit the road again performing in Melbourne from February 16 to February 18 at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG). Swift had 96,000 fans in the audience at each show, making them the three biggest shows she’s ever played. This came just days after cheering on Kelce at the Super Bowl, who then stayed behind in Kansas City for the Chiefs’ celebrations.
However, the three-time Super Bowl champion was on a Bombardier Global 6000 plane Wednesday morning from Hawaii to Sydney, where the singer will carry on with her sold-out shows.
While a commercial flight from Sydney to Honolulu typically takes approximately 10 hours, the private jet is built to travel more quickly than a commercial aircraft. According to FlightRadar24, the aircraft was the number one most-tracked flight worldwide during its descent, with more than 9,000 people watching its journey online.
Controversial internet personality Oli London reshared a video from an Australian news program on X (formerly Twitter) that discussed the jet usage.
London captioned the post: “Climate change activist Taylor Swift sends her private jet from Sydney to Hawaii to pick up her boyfriend Travis Kelce and bring him to Australia. The round trip will emit 3 metric tons of CO2. The CO2 emissions equate to melting 95.4 square feet of Arctic sea ice.”
At the time of writing the post had been viewed 1 million times and people took to the comments to express their disgust.
“Was there not a regular normal plane with a first class cabin available???” one person asked alongside a rolling eyes emoji.
“These climate hypocrites are all the same,” said another.
“Rules for thee, not for me. Virtue signaling hypocrisy,” someone else wrote.
“It’s disheartening to see such a drastic impact on our environment from unnecessary travel emissions,” a fourth person commented.
