Love is in the air, and so is pollution. Those two words may be oxymorons, but Taylor Swift has made them synonymous with each other. Undeniably, it’s a head-scratcher for most, but so too is the amount of carbon emissions in the atmosphere during her travels.

And since she started dating Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce back in September, her voyages have increased. But that was the first time the star couple made a public appearance together. They were seeing each other even before that.

During an episode of Kelce’s New Heights podcast, he revealed attending Swift’s ERAS Tour concert at Arrowhead. The 34-year-old tried to slip a friendship band, along with his number, but failed. In an interview with Time magazine, Taylor claimed to have met with Kelce a few times after that day.

By the time I went to that first game, we were a couple. I think some people think that they saw our first date at that game. We would never be psychotic enough to launch a first date. the 12-time Grammy winner said
Since then, Swifties across the globe have eagerly waited for their icon to attend Kansas City Chiefs games to cheer for Kelce. While it may be romantic and overworked for the paparazzi, their relationship is also affecting the environment in a bad way.

According to UNILAD,

[Taylor Swift’s] journeys so far have used up 12,622 gallons of jet fuel, which is calculated to be worth a whopping $70,779.
Is Taylor Swift’s relationship with Travis Kelce causing damage to the environment?
It does sound a bit absurd, but statistics don’t lie. An excerpt from the Instagram account ‘Taylor’s Swifts Jets’ claimed the singer-songwriter’s flights have now produced 138 tons of CO2 emissions to date. That’s equivalent to the energy used by 17 houses in one year, or the electricity used by 26.9 homes for one year.

To repair the damage, Swift has to plant a few trees—2,282—that have to flourish for 10 years to restore the balance. A spokesperson on behalf of Taylor revealed,

Before the tour kicked off in March of 2023, she [Taylor Swift] purchased more than double the carbon credits needed to offset all tour travel.
That takes care of that, and now back to her budding romance with the Chiefs star. Swift and Kelce spent Christmas together recently. It was their first holiday as a couple. And judging by the trajectory of their relationship, there will be quite a few in the future.
