Taylor Swift private jet: Bombardier Global 7500 – The Eras Tour in the air

Taylor Swift is the most tracked private jet user in the world – not by choice. The tracking account @TaylorSwiftJet has followed her Bombardier Global 7500 and the older Dassault Falcon 7X in real time for years, producing more COâ headlines than any other celebrity. Swift has learned to deal with the phenomenon. Her solution: buy SAF (Sustainable Aviation Fuel) and fly anyway.

Two jets for the Eras Tour: Falcon 7X and Bombardier Global 7500

Swift officially owns two aircraft. The older one is a Dassault Falcon 7X, built in 2009 – range 11,000 km, space for 14 passengers, known for its characteristic three-engine fuselage. The newer and mainly used jet is a Bombardier Global 7500, built in 2022:

Range: 14,260 km (longest of all business jets, non-stop New York to Dubai possible)
Speed: Mach 0.925
Cabin: 4 separate living areas, private bedroom with double bed, bathroom with shower
Cabin length: 15.56 m
List price: 75-80 million dollars

CO₂ tracking and what’s behind it

In summer 2022, Yard Marketing’s environmental research team published an analysis: Swift had completed 170 private flights in the first half of 2022 – more than any other celebrity. Total emissions according to the analysis: 8,293 tons of CO₂. By comparison, the average person produces around 7 tons per year.

What the analysis does not take into account: Some of the flights were operated on behalf of Swift’s managers and business partners – not by Swift itself. And: Swift purchased a considerable number of SAF certificates for the Eras Tour. Whether this pays off is another discussion.

Why the Global 7500 is the logical jet for the Eras Tour

The Eras Tour is the highest-grossing concert tour of all time – over a billion dollars in revenue in 2023 alone. For an artist who commutes between Buenos Aires, Sydney and London, a jet with a range of 14,000 km is not an option, but a must.

The Bombardier Global 7500 connects Miami and London non-stop, Los Angeles and Tokyo without a refueling stop. The same principle, only more accessible, applies to flights within Europe: from Munich to Nice, from Düsseldorf to Cannes – bookable by private jet charter without membership.

Today, Swift’s jets are more than just transportation. They are a symbol of a cultural contradiction: an artist who communicates values such as inclusion and responsibility flies more than most. This makes her a projection screen for a society that has not yet found an answer to the question of how luxury and climate awareness go together.

If you want to know more about Swift’s jet history: FIV has already analyzed the Dassault Falcon 8X – Taylor’s older private jet series in detail. In a direct comparison of the female celebrity jets, Kim Kardashian’s Kim Air Gulfstream G650ER with cream-colored custom interior is at eye level – a different design, same category.

Stars and their private jets: Kim Kardashian, Taylor Swift & Kylie Jenner

Private jets are as commonplace for the world’s richest people as cabs are for the rest of us. While we stand in queues, show boarding passes and smuggle miniature shampoos through security checks, Hollywood stars, billionaires and music legends walk straight from their cars onto their own planes. No check-in, no crowds, no schedule except their own. We reveal which stars have their own private jets, which models they prefer – and how much such a flight actually costs. We have summarized more about the world’s most popular luxury brands – from fashion to private jets to yachts – in our large overview.

Kim Kardashian: her Gulfstream G650ER “Kim Air”

Kim Kardashian owns a Gulfstream G650ER – one of the most expensive and sought-after private jets in the world. The interior of the jet was personally designed by her and is affectionately nicknamed “Kim Air”. Cream-colored leather, cashmere blankets, custom-made seats – the cabin looks more like a flying penthouse than an airplane.

150 million $ Private Jet

The Gulfstream G650ER has a range of over 13,000 kilometers and flies at a cruising speed of almost Mach 0.9 – making it one of the fastest commercially available private aircraft in the world. New price: around 75 million US dollars. The annual upkeep of such a jet is estimated at a further 3 to 5 million dollars – for maintenance, crew, hangar and fuel.

Kim Kardashian has also been criticized for her private jet use. The environmental organization atmosfair calculated that her jet emits over 4,000 tonnes of CO₂ per year – a figure that caused public debate. Kardashian counters this: she and her family offset all their flights through climate protection projects.

Taylor Swift: 40-minute flight and global outrage

No celebrity has been associated with their private jet more often in recent years than Taylor Swift. A flight tracking website published data on her charter jets in the summer of 2022, listing a flight that lasted just 40 minutes. The reaction on social media was correspondingly fierce.

Taylor Swift has several private jets – including a Dassault Falcon 7X and a Dassault Falcon 900 – both of which are used for her international tours as well as for private travel. Her management made it clear that most of the flights are necessary for tour logistics and security requirements, and that the singer is working hard to offset carbon emissions.

The Dassault Falcon 7X, which Swift uses, costs around 55 million dollars when new. It can carry up to 14 passengers and has a range of over 11,000 kilometers – enough for non-stop flights between the USA and Europe; many stars travel by private jet.

Kylie Jenner: the pink Bombardier Global 7500

Kylie Jenner owns a Bombardier Global 7500 – named after its operating radius of 7,500 nautical miles, which stretches non-stop to Tokyo or Sydney. The special thing about Kylie Jenner’s plane: The interior is a soft pink, completely customized. The reality TV entrepreneur and cosmetics brand founder posted several times on Instagram from her jet – sparking a discussion about environmental awareness and celebrity responsibility.

New price of a Bombardier Global 7500: around 73 million dollars. The aircraft has its own sleeping area, a lounge, a kitchen and a separate office space – more flying luxury villa than means of transportation.

More stars with their own private jet

The list of prominent private jet owners is long. An overview of other well-known names – many of whom also appear in our celebrity hotspot reports:

Floyd Mayweather: Gulfstream G650 “Air Mayweather” – the billion-dollar boxer with its own jet branding, similar to Kim Air
Jeff Bezos: Two Gulfstream G650ERs (150 million dollar fleet) – the only billionaire to operate two identical jets in parallel
Rihanna: No jet of her own – the Fenty billionaire deliberately charters to avoid flight tracking
Paris Hilton: Bombardier Challenger “Sliv Air” – the pioneer of the celebrity jet aesthetic, even before the Instagram era
Kanye West: Gulfstream G650 – Fashion Week commuter between Paris, Milan and New York
The Geisses (Robert and Carmen Geiss): The well-known German reality TV couple are famous for their private jet trips in the TV show of the same name

How much does a private jet cost – even for non-billionaires?

If you don’t want to buy your own jet for 70 million euros, you can simply rent a private jet. Private jet charter is much more accessible for frequent flyers, entrepreneurs and groups than is often assumed. Current prices and availability can be found in the private jet comparison on privatejets.one:

Very Light Jet (2-4 persons): from approx. 2,500 € for shorter routes within Europe
Light Jet (4-6 persons): Frankfurt-Paris from approx. 6,500 €, Munich-Milan from approx. 5,500 €
Heavy Jet (8-12 persons): Frankfurt-Dubai non-stop from approx. 35,000 €
Empty Legs: return empty leg flights at up to 75% discount

The environmental debate: stars and their carbon footprint

The climate debate does not stop at celebrities. According to a BBC study, private airplanes are among the most COâ-intensive means of transportation in the world. A private jet emits up to 14 times more COâ per passenger kilometer than a scheduled flight. As a result, many stars have announced that they will offset their flights or switch to sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). Tech billionaires such as Musk and Bezos are also regularly criticized in this context.

Conclusion: Flying a private jet remains the ultimate luxury symbol

Whether it’s Kim Kardashian, Taylor Swift or Kylie Jenner – the private jet is and remains the ultimate symbol of wealth, freedom and exclusivity. For music stars and movie stars it is an operational necessity, for others a statement. If you don’t want to invest 75 million straight away, private jet charter is a more affordable alternative – with the same advantages: no queues, free choice of time, total comfort.
