Wait a second this picture is photoshopped 😡
It looked real for a second
It’s plane to see
Very crafty.
Flew over my head
Freaking AI-generated images. I don’t even know what’s real and what’s fake anymore. Would this be considered a “deep-fake”?
How many fingers does the airplane have?
Good point, I don’t see any! Definitely AI generated… The plane is missing all of its fingers!
It’s always the hands
Artists: ugh I can’t draw hands
AI: ヘ（。□°）ヘ
Oh no!!! 😱😱😱
Take that down! It leads to harassment and stalking of her!!!11 😥😥😥I got a similar one in Spanish:
image description: an image of elaborate circular clouds left by jets in four quadrants with the text “la taylor swift paseando a su perro”
lit: Taylor swift waking her dog
That dog must have a really deep sleep
waking her dog 💤🐕
walking her dog 💃🐕
Yep, spelling matters.
Hey, do you maybe know of any interesting Spanish Lemmy communities? I am currently learning the language and would really like to find more Spanish content here

Smh the paparazzi are ruthless these days. How did they even get this photo?
Quick stop to the bathroom first, dont turn off the engine.
Pssh, your plane doesn’t have a toilet?
You peasants. My toilet has a plane.
Shoppers will say it’s hated.
Hated will say it’s shoppers.
Weird out of all the people that do this she’s the target of memes.
She’s the target of memes because just recently she tried to shut down the guy who tracks her jet. Streisand effect. Nobody was talking shit about her jets(well a lot) until she screamed to the world leave my jet alone.
Didn’t she get put under the super microscope after she told her followers to register to vote? That got the Fox news tribe to do their double standard selective outrage thing and now all of a sudden republicans care about fossil fuels and emissions.
She did that years ago. Like, five years ago. These memes are a response to her suing the kid
It was. I was saying that’s what turned their microscope on her.
I love how it’s “the evil Republicans” doing all of this. Plenty of us are Democrats who think Taylor is incredibly hypocritical for not practicing exactly what she preaches. And least you forget, she’s a literal billionaire. That “1%” we point to as the worst contributors. And oh look, there she is, being just like the people she vilifies.
She’s a hypocrite plain and simple and the facade is starting to finally break. Her entire persona is manufactured by teams of publicists. She’s no different that the other billionaires, but she has you convinced she’s your best buddy.
… There was a whole thread here that got deleted where someone else was saying the exact same thing you are saying and I defended myself. If you re-read my comment, don’t add tone, don’t insinuate, de-prime yourself, it’s just me asking a question and adding context to the timeline. I don’t remember her ever being this big a part of the political conversation until after the “register to vote” thing. None of the old men at my work ever talked about her politically until after that. Yes these memes are about the current situation. My comment isn’t denying that. All it’s doing is asking a question about when she was on the political radar and pointing out when and how I noticed. Now I’m somehow a swifty defending her jet use because I recalled events? What in the world is going on in your life that causes you types to react like this and take it so personally? Is it because I used the R word and didn’t immediately follow it up with a D? Go outside!
think Taylor is incredibly hypocritical for not practicing exactly what she preaches
And I think this is genocidal propaganda and misogyny drafted by FOX news. Yeah that’s grossly exaggerated and over the top, but hear me out:
First of all she’s not very political. At least not as far as I can tell, her opinions are rather mild basic human decency level stuff, but I don’t know much about her. This to your charge that she “preaches”.
Second, society being what it is you CAN’T practice what you believe, because our economy is build a certain way. She can’t do her job without a private jet, so even though there is some valid criticism there you’d also have to put the emissions her business use creates on the concert goers or consumers. It goes on their CO2 budget no hers. She even bought CO2 offsets which are BS of course.
Third, she’s being singled out, possibly because she’s supposed to be this white madonna. It’s apparently true that she uses her jet for private and “frivolous” purposes. But with all the jet setting going on, it’s at least suspicious that people want her to be the symbol of all evil. Some very clever sociopaths crafted this strategy because she’s the perfect symbol for it.
Lastly, even if all the criticism of her was justified it’s a distraction from the monumental and systemic issues preventing any meaningful action on climate change: Land reform, veganism, election reform, wealth redistribution, redesigning how we live and work, patents preventing adoption of improvements, planned vs free economy. Those are topics that nobody wants you to talk about. So instead it’s advantageous to blame her.
Afaik this all started with FOX news bashing her jet and the joke was “why is CO2 bad FOX news?”. But it WORKED!!! They have successfully disseminated a conspiracy theory that 20% of voters believe now and memes like this are trending.
Sorry about the rant, I really don’t mean to accuse anyone seriously of this, but this is the PR mechanisms I see working behind this stuff.
She could take a tour bus, she could own an electric fleet of them.

So the people I work with who never talked about her until after the whole register to vote thing actually started talking about her because of this recent lawsuit? Is my timeline off? All I was adding to the conversation is that was the START of the scrutiny, not the cause of these memes.
You’re talking about a whole bunch of different shit. Right here, right now, we’re talking about the memes about her stupid jet. You’re trying to change the subject to something else.
Republicans are having a temper tantrum because because of her political stances. Are you trying to say this is a republican meme? On a Republican website?
She outputs more emissions by nearly double compared to the second place
Isn’t that just because she had two jets?
I seem to remember a similar list a while back, and they got rented out a lot. I can’t think of many other reasons to have two of the fucking things.
I’d be surprised if a lot of private jet owners don’t rent them out tbh. They’re not cheap, and even if you’re a super duper important rich cunt, how often do you really need to use them?
So you can have mock dog fights. Duh.
Then… why doesn’t she rent in the first place? Why is she so important she needs TWO? That’s the EXACT hypocrisy being pointed out.
Cos presumably you make more money if you own them and rent them out yourself…
Although maybe that’s not doing so well since she sold one the other week.
The joys of having fuck you money, I guess.
Oh, so it’s about making money and not the helping the environment. So EXACTLY the hypocrisy people are pointing out.
You can rent private jets. It’s not too crazy expensive if you use the full capacity. It’s about 50-100% more than flying on a Delta level flight.
Second place what? GHG emitter?
The original numbers were put out by a marketing agency and have been criticized as inaccurate. Other attempts to quantify private jet usage do not show Taylor Swift in the top 30. Travis Scott, Kim Kardashian, Elon Musk, Beyoncé & Jay-Z, and Bill Gates hold the top 5.
Sources:
Elon bought a company to shut his problem down, but he still gets memed too. More recent events get more memes.
No he didn’t

The Tesla CEO’s hyperfocus on acquiring the San Francisco-based social media giant intensified after Parag Agrawal, its former CEO, rejected Musk’s request to block an account run by 21-year-old Jack Sweeney that used publicly available data to track Musk’s private jet.
“The billionaire started buying Twitter shares shortly after Agrawal denied his request,” according to an excerpt from “Battle for the Bird” by Bloomberg reporter Kurt Wagner. The book suggests that Musk’s motivation to ban the jet-tracking account was the primary driver behind the $44 billion purchase in November 2022, which left many industry analysts perplexed.
Couldn’t Sweeney just post on a different service?
I will say, the 45th President “just posts on a different service” too - nobody sees it, really.
Wait does that mean he’s still posting on X? Musk didn’t ban him?
Guess the delay was enough to escape further wrath!
No, he definitely bought it because he was forced to after trying to fuck witt it by making claims.
Nah. He just tried some good ol fashion market manipulation by saying he would by Twitter in public. And since he had a non-significant amount of shares he was basically forced into the deal or being caught red handed doing illegal stuff openly. Plain old greed + stupidity.
Have you missed the elon jet?
This meme has been brought to you by FOX news and the fossil fuel lobby.
Are we suggesting that Taylor Swift is an individual here?
Because taking a private jet everywhere isn’t exactly the same as the fossil fuel industry pinning climate change on the everyday person’s emissions.
If you distribute the emissions on all the consumers, the concert goers then it’s probably negligible. And their fault. So we should attack people who go to music concerts. But really we should attack celebrity culture. Much less funny meme though
I can’t believe I didn’t realize this but a few days ago someone here mentioned she could take a tour bus.
Duh!
She could reduce intra-country emissions by a lot but still use her jet to fly abroad.
Yeah flying around the country performing concerts is absurdly wasteful, but we are in an apocalypse movie, this subplot about a musician flying around maybe being selfish or not just doesn’t really register amid the thunderous sounds of corporations and the rich demolishing whole swaths of our planet.
Billionaires flying around on jets is disgusting because they don’t actually do anything they just tell other people what to do, fire people and collect the money. At least taylor swift or any other musician flying around actually PHYSICALLY gets up on stage and plays the gig in the cities they fly too.
I mean, by definition she is an individual. A really bad individual when it comes to see CO2 emissions.
If you’re interested in improving things. Then all the Taylor Swift posting is actually working against you. You’re basically spreading the vibe that Taylor Swift alone is the problem or that people who travel a lot in private jets are the problem. Which is not a useful truth in that there are way bigger polluters.
What would be great is if we got a bunch of funny memes about industry producing a huge amount of fossil fuels. That would be more productive.
#taylorswiftboatveteransfortruth
Okay bud that’s pretty funny eh
Taylor Swift wishing the deepfakes nude are trending again.

False. Billionaires don’t sleep.
The image doesn’t load for me and my legendary face
me neither
Taylor Swift is going to be right now!
I better hide from the lawyers! I gave it away! Maybe if I unsee the plane or something I might get off with a warning.
