When most people think about Taylor Swift, they ponder how memorable her lyrics are, how rich she is, and how many hit songs she has released. Considering all those things, it becomes obvious that Swift is incredibly successful. Since it is hard to overstate how successful Swift’s music career is, she is rich enough that she can afford to live an incredible lifestyle.

One thing that Swift can afford is to regularly travel by private jet, which has caused a lot of controversy for the singer. Despite all the negative headlines about how Swift travels, very few of her fans actually know much about her private jet.

This article will reveal what is known about the private jet Taylor Swift uses to travel. Then, the article will look at why Swift traveling by private jet is so controversial.

Taylor Swift’s “Number 13” Private Jet Sounds Extremely Lavish

Since Taylor Swift is arguably the most famous singer-songwriter in the world, it can often seem like the media reports on everything involving her. In reality, however, there are many aspects of Swift’s life that even her biggest fans know very little about.

One fact that many of Swift’s fans don’t know very much about is what kind of private jet she uses to travel the world. Thankfully, an article from The Richest that was updated in May 2024 reveals what model of private Jet Swift uses to travel the world.

According to The Richest, Swift is the owner of a Dassault Falcon 7X private jet. The Richest’s article also revealed other fascinating facts about Swift’s jet which is nicknamed the “number 13”. The outlet reports that Swift’s aircraft has a registration number that ends with her initials, N898TS.

Of course, most people know nothing about what kind of aircraft a Dassault Falcon 7X is. However, based on reporting, it is safe to say that traveling in a Dassault Falcon 7X would be an extremely luxurious experience.

According to an article from the website Simple Flying, several distinct features make Swift’s Dassault Falcon 7X extremely fancy. The first of those features is the fact that the Dassault Falcon 7X’s cabin layout is customizable and can seat up to twelve people.

The outlet also reports that traveling in the Dassault Falcon 7X would be a much more peaceful experience for Swift and her guests. The reason for that is Simple Flying describes the aircraft as being whisper-quiet in the cabin.

In addition, the Dassault Falcon 7X also reportedly allows travelers to enjoy high-speed internet connectivity. While internet connectivity on airplanes is more and more common each year, it still is a great feature, especially at a high speed.

Of all the things that Simple Flying states make the Dassault Falcon 7X special, it appears that windows are what makes it really stand out. According to the outlet, the Dassault Falcon 7X has “28 oversized panoramic windows”.

All of those windows reportedly flood the cabin with a great deal of natural light. Of course, it should go without saying that all those windows allow passengers to enjoy truly amazing views. It seems like that would be especially true for the famed pop star, considering the kinds of places Swift can afford to fly to.

While Simple Flying’s reporting about the Dassault Falcon 7X is fascinating, an article from Guardian Jet is also very revealing. After all, Guardian Jet revealed more basic information about the Dassault Falcon 7X, including things like its price and specs.

Which stars own the most expensive private jets, according to Simple Flying?

According to Guardian Jet, people who are interested in buying a Dassault Falcon 7X can expect to spend many millions of dollars. The jet’s asking price ranges from $16,495,000 to $31,500,000 according to the outlet. Guardian Jet also reported that a Dassault Falcon 7X owner can expect to pay $1,035,904 in annual fixed costs.

On top of the pricing information, Guardian Jet revealed that a Dassault Falcon 7X cabin is 6.2 feet tall, 7.7 feet wide, and 39.1 feet long.

Taylor Swift Has Received Lots Of Private Jet Criticism

In February 2024, Harper’s Bazaar published an article about the criticism Taylor Swift has received for her private jet use. As that article revealed, Swift really began to get flack for her private jet use in 2022.

In July 2022, a data and marketing agency called Yard published a report about celebrities whose private jet usage causes the most CO2 emissions. According to that report, Swift was the number one offender as she took 170 flights in the first seven months of 2022 alone.

Who were the top ten celebrities whose private jets produced the most CO2 emissions, according to Yard?

Since Swift has been outspoken about the dangers of climate change, Yard’s reporting resulted in a pretty big backlash. At that time, a representative for Swift stated that the singer often loaned out use of her private jets, so she wasn’t solely responsible for the reported emissions.

In December 2023, Swift got embroiled in another controversy related to her private jet usage. In this case, the backlash was mostly related to how much Swift’s usage of her private jet to attend Travis Kelce’s games would have caused CO2 emissions.

In response to the controversy at that time, a 21-year-old University of Central Florida student named Jack Sweeney began tracking Swift’s private jet usage. After Sweeney began posting about Swift’s private jet on Instagram, his account was deleted. In response, Sweeney began posting in a subreddit named r/TaylorSwiftJets.
