Climate activists on Thursday gained access to a UK airport where Taylor Swift’s luxury plane is stationed and sprayed private jets with orange paint, a day after Stonehenge was attacked.
The two activists made it on to the airfield at Stansted airport northeast of London, climate protest group Just Stop Oil said in a statement.
The pair used fire extinguishers filled with orange paint to spray two private jets, the group’s statement said.
Taylor Swift has attracted criticism over her use of private jets.
In 2022, she headlined a list published by British sustainability marketing firm Yard of the “worst private jet CO2 emission offenders” among celebrities.
Her jet flew 170 times in 2022, with total flight emissions for the year reaching 8,293.54 tonnes, or 1,184.8 times more than the average person, Yard said.
