In a plot twist nobody saw coming, two climate crusaders decided to channel their inner Mission Impossible at Stanstead Airport, where pop superstar Taylor Swift’s private jet is often parked. Cue dramatic music and slow-motion action sequences.
These daring duo from the Just Oil campaign must have binged too many heist movies. They were caught on video slipping into a restricted area of the airport like sneaky ninjas. Their grand plan? To give some luxury planes a makeover with a fire extinguisher filled with orange spray paint. Picasso would be proud.
However, plot twist number two – none of the vandalized jets belonged to our “Midnights” queen, Taylor. That’s right, they missed the mark! The Essex police swooped in, not quite like Tom Cruise but close enough, and nabbed the suspects for criminal damage and meddling with national infrastructure.
Now, if you’re new to this saga, let’s rewind a bit. Taylor has been a frequent flyer on the radar of climate activists, who aren’t exactly fans of her private jet’s frequent flyer miles. In 2022, she was crowned one of the “worst private jet CO2 emission offenders” in a list by British sustainability marketing firm Yard. It’s the kind of list you don’t want to top, unlike the Billboard charts.
Currently, our Grammy-winning globe-trotter is jetting around for her Eras tour, with her plane guzzling fuel like it’s a sport. But this time, at least, her jet dodged the spray-paint bullet. So, Swifties can breathe easy – their idol’s plane remains untouched, while the activists might need to rethink their strategy for the next episode of Airport Adventures.
