To offset that total amount of carbon it’s estimated Swift would need to plant 2282 trees, which would then need to grow for a decade.

However, a representative for Swift said the ‘AntiHero’ singer had already purchased double the carbon credits required for the Eras concert tour before it began in March 2022.

“The excess credits means Taylor could have accounted for more than enough to cover her latest romance springing up in the middle of her sell-out tour, with her trips to support Kelce upping her carbon emissions alongside her planned tour travels,” they said.

In 2022, a UK PR company compiled a list of the worst offenders for creators of carbon emissions using private jets.

Swift was top of the list, having racked up 170 flights over the 2022 period, creating 8293.54 tonnes of emissions. That was despite her not touring at the time – it also revealed her average flight time was around 80 minutes.

Also on the 2022 list was Floyd Mayweather, Jay-Z, Jennifer Lopez’s ex Alex ‘A-Rod’ Rodriguez, Blake Shelton and Steven Spielberg.
