As pop icon Taylor Swift traveled to the destinations on her record-breaking Eras Tour, she did so in her private jet.

Swift flew her jet 98 times in 2024, according to the aviation publication Simple Flying. Her total flight time amounted to about 225 hours. 

The popular singer developed a reputation as an avid user of private jets. Throughout the year she used her jet to travel to various tour stops, to visit her boyfriend (Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce), and to fly to her homes in Los Angeles and Nashville. 

The airports at which her plane visited most frequently were Nashville International Airport, Charles B. Wheeler Downtown Airport in Kansas City—where Kelce lives—and Hollywood Burbank Airport in Southern California. 

However, there are still some unknowns based on the available data, according to Jack Sweeney, who used to run a social-media account that tracked Swift’s planes. “We know it’s her plane, but we don’t know if she’s on it or who’s on it,” he told Fortune.

Swift and Sweeney have not always seen eye-to-eye. In February, lawyers representing Swift sent a cease-and-desist order to Sweeney to get his social-media accounts to stop tracking her plane’s flight paths. Sweeney, who is a college student, had already been banned from X in 2022 when he shared the private jet details of Elon Musk. 

Lawyers representing Swift did not respond to a request for comment.

Swift flies in a Dassault Falcon 7x, a three-engine jet that can fly over 6,000 miles without refueling. This specific model is often used by individuals that expect to fly great distances in their private jets. In Swift’s case, she often has to fly great distances to attend her various tour stops. The Falcon 7x can accommodate between 12 and 16 passengers. The Falcon 7x also has a roomier cabin than other similar models. Swift’s jet is officially owned by a Nashville holding company Island Jet Inc. 

Some high celebrities and high-net-worth individuals opt for even more secretive measures to register their planes so that their names don’t appear on any paperwork, according to Sweeney. “If you really want to hide, you register it to something that’s completely unlinkable [sic] to you, like a trust that you don’t own,” Sweeney said. “Then that’s basically still your plane, but the trust owns it.”

Over the past year, Swift’s Eras tour launched her into billionaire status. The concert tour became the first to gross over $1 billion in revenue. Throughout her career, Swift has won 14 Grammy Awards and reached the heights of pop stardom only enjoyed by the likes of The Beatles, Michael Jackson, Madonna, and her contemporary Beyoncé. Her latest album, April’s The Tortured Poet’s Department, was the fourteenth Billboard number one of her career. 

The majority of Swift’s private jet travel is for work, Sweeney said.

“For the most part, it usually lines up with what she’s where she’s performing,” he said, referring to Swift’s ongoing tour.

However, Swift’s use of her private jet has upset climate activists who point to air travel’s role in polluting the environment. Over the course of this year, Swift’s jet used approximately 80,000 gallons of fuel, according to Simple Flying. In June, protestors spraypainted a private jet they mistakenly believed to be Swift’s, as a protest against her air travel.
