Taylor Swift is a singer-songwriter with a net worth over $1.5 billion, whose Eras Tour from 2023 to 2024 was the highest-grossing concert tour ever. She maintains a Nashville penthouse, a Tribeca compound, a Beverly Hills estate, and a Watch Hill mansion in Rhode Island.

She was ranked the number one worst celebrity carbon dioxide offender in a 2022 study, with 8,293 metric tons over 170 flights in seven months. She served a cease-and-desist to Jack Sweeney in 2024 and reportedly spent about $15 million re-registering the Falcon 7X to evade tracking; Sweeney found it within days. By 2023 data she had dropped out of the top 30 emitters after selling the Falcon 900.

The aircraft had been on the ground at Van Nuys for about four days before this flight, following a previous tracked landing there on October 14. The flight from Van Nuys to Kansas City is the latest in a series of trips that have included multiple legs between Nashville, the New York area, and Kansas City since late August.
