- The flight tracker shows the trips she took to see her boyfriend Travis Kelce and go on her international Eras tour.
So how far would you go for love? For most of us that is something difficult to quantify. For Taylor Swift, the answer was approximately 178,000 miles last year and counting.
This is how far Swift’s private jets flew last year according to a new video clip that caused a stir on social media and generated by Jack Sweeney.
Sweeney, a 21-year-old college student from Florida, a junior at the University of Central Florida, has run accounts that track the takeoffs and landings of planes owned by billionaires, politicians, Russian oligarchs and other public figures for years, publishing their routes and mileage along with estimates of the planet-warming emissions they represent.
But it’s his following of Swift that has caused a stir on social media and earned him a threat of legal action from the star’s lawyers for “harassing and stalking behavior” for his efforts.
However, Sweeney remains unfazed and earlier this week posted his video with the help of Ground control revealing that last year the Department of Tortured Poets star flew the equivalent of seven times around the Earth, emitting 1,200 tonnes of CO2 in the process.
New data reveals that Taylor Swift flew her two private jets approximately 178,000 miles last year to see her boyfriend Travis Kelce and perform her Eras Tour.
Taylor used his private jets during the Kansas City Chiefs season to watch Travis play. She is seen boarding her jet in Kansas City in October 2023.
And while Swift’s representatives are quick to point out that his planes are often loaned to others, there’s no denying that many of those bounces across countries, continents and oceans were trips to see the Kansas City boss’ tight end, Travis Kelce, 34, playing through a season in which the team won the Super Bowl, or flights for the busy stars to enjoy some rare downtime together.

Week after week last year, Swift’s private jet was photographed landing at a series of destinations where Kelce and the Chiefs were playing; Kansas City, Green Bay, Minneapolis, Denver, Boston… the list goes on.
They were often the most fleeting visits when he returned to Nashville or Morristown, New Jersey, or Burbank, California, after just a day of leaving Kelce to return to his grueling in-season training schedule.
It also shows the singer traveling across the US and then to South America and then to Europe for the international leg of the Eras tour.
And she shows no signs of slowing down.
Environmental advocates estimate that Swift has dumped 554.5 tons of CO2 so far this year (205 tons in March alone).
But it’s not all one-way traffic.
Many of the trips were to watch Kansas City Chief tight end Travis, 34, play during a season in which the team took the Super Bowl.
Taylor flew from her Eras Tour in Tokyo to California, where she then left for Las Vegas to watch her boyfriend play in the Super Bowl.
For his part, this year Kelce has accumulated 245 tons of CO2 emissions on the private jets that the NFL star took to and from Swift’s side.
DailyMail.com has calculated that so far this year Swift’s plane has traveled more than 25,586 miles, and all but a handful of the more than 20 flights made by the plane were trips to and from Kelce or with Kelce.
That’s not including the flight Swift, 34, chartered to take her from her Eras Tour in Tokyo to California, where she boarded a private jet that took her 34 minutes from Burbank, California, to Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas. Vegas.
It’s not exactly to the moon and back (it’s 477,710 miles), but if Swift continues at this pace, she’ll get there.
