Taylor Swift has parted ways with one of her private jets amid news that she’s demanding people stop tracking her flights.
The Federal Aviation Authority’s website confirmed the singer’s separation from her Dassault Falcon 900 on Jan. 30.
Previously listed under SATA LLC, a company sharing an address with Taylor Swift Productions in Nashville, the jet had been in Swift’s possession since 2009.
Now, it’s registered to a Missouri-based company incorporated in 2006, according to Business Insider.
While the terms of this deal remain undisclosed, a brand new Dassault 900 commands a staggering $44 million to sell.
This move leaves Swift with just one private jet. However, that doesn’t mean the star is otherwise lacking when it comes to her property overall. Across America, she owns a portfolio of homes worth upward of $80 million, including nearly a block of residences in Manhattan.
The Dassault 900, capable of accommodating up to 12 passengers, served Swift’s travel needs until its last recorded flight on Jan. 30. Meanwhile, her Dassault 7X, with a slightly larger cabin and capacity for 16 passengers, remains operational.
With her upcoming Tokyo concerts and the Super Bowl in Las Vegas to support her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, fans speculate on Swift’s travel arrangements.
It’s likely she’ll opt for chartering a private plane if she doesn’t use her 7X.
However, Swift’s penchant for private jets hasn’t gone unnoticed, drawing criticism for environmental concerns.
In 2022, she topped a list of celebrities with the highest private-jet carbon emissions — and last year, her jets logged more than 166 flight hours during her US tour.
Responding to these concerns, Swift’s spokesperson revealed the singer’s purchase of carbon credits to offset her jet usage. Yet, efforts to maintain privacy, such as enrolling in the FAA’s privacy program, haven’t shielded her from public scrutiny.
College student Jack Sweeney, known for tracking celebrity flights, garnered attention after sharing Swift’s flight data on social media. Swift’s legal team intervened, sending Sweeney a cease-and-desist letter, accusing him of “stalking and harassing behavior.”
Sweeney defended his actions, citing public information and transparency as his motivations.
“I think the people are interested,” Sweeney told the outlet. “You should have a decent expectation that your jet will be tracked whether or not I do it as, after all, it is public information.”
“Nowhere do I intend to harm,” he stated, acknowledging that he is a fan of some of Swift’s songs.
