The Kansas City Chiefs are having a tough time staying out of the spotlight this off-season. There has been countless off-the-field news stories this off-season that has taken attention away from the actual game.
Taylor Swift is one of the biggest off-the-field stories for this franchise.
There is a good chance that Taylor Swift might be entrenched in the super-polluter era for a while yet.
A TikToker named nikalasVR (@nikalas.vr) posted a video claiming Swift recently set a world record for the shortest private plane flight:
Nikalas speaks to the camera while simulating the flight that was apparently all of 40 seconds and 4 miles after departing from Los Angeles International Airport last year.
Nikalas notes that 4 miles is a walkable distance for some, but to be fair, Swift’s level of fame would make that unfeasible. That being said, Nikalas claims that at 5 p.m., the trip would only take 5-10 minutes in a car. Some commenters called that overly optimistic.
Nikalas next asserted that “she’s almost losing time by taking this flight; it’s almost like they’re trying to ruin the environment.” Nikalas’ “true problem” is that Swift has talked about addressing the changing climate in the past.
To that point, Swift’s team claims it makes up for her private jet usage with carbon offsets. Of course, eco-conscious observers have the right to be skeptical of those promises, as companies like Shell seem to have duped the system.
The video concludes with Nikalas’ simulation actually taking more like 50 seconds, but the general point stands. It is noteworthy that there is some debate over whether Swift is actually on these ultrashort flights, as Business Insider explained.
Here is the full video:

Ok this seems ridiculous , but how much distance was travelled in that 40seconds to make that worth while?😮
There has to be an explanation?🤔🤷♂️

Did this flight really happen for her?
If so. I never want to hear her mention one word about the environment.
I don’t anyway to be honest.

However, other fans were convinced it wasn’t her flight at all:
It’s likely a “repositioning flight,” not entirely what you’re suggesting. Very common in private aviation when the planes follow an individual. Same “effect” on the climate, though!

Almost accurate. That’s not the correct traffic pattern for KSMO
