Climate activists in Britain targeted a private airfield at Stansted Airport where they claimed US singer Taylor Swift’s plane had landed hours earlier and sprayed orange paint on planes. Two women from the ‘Just Stop Oil’ group have been arrested by police, AFP reported.

The activists tried to target Taylor Swift’s jet but couldn’t get through to it, reports the Telegraph. Instead, the women, aged 22 and 28, spray-painted two jets as part of their protest.

The two used orange-filled fire extinguishers on two private jets.

The group also posted a video on X, showing an activist cutting a hole in the fence before entering the airfield.

“Private jet users are responsible for 40x more carbon emissions than commercial flying,” Just Stop Oil tweeted.

The ‘Just Stop Oil’ group has called on the British government to legally commit to phasing out fossil fuels by 2030.

The protest came a day after climate activists spray painted Stonehenge, a prehistoric UNESCO World Heritage site in southwest England.

Taylor Swift will perform at Wembley Stadium on Friday, Saturday and Sunday this week. The development comes after the American singer faced criticism over her use of private jets.

One report stated that in 2022, Swift was one of the “worst private jet CO2 emissions offenders” among celebrities.

His jet flew 170 times in 2022, bringing total flight emissions to 8,293.54 tonnes, which is 1,184.8 times more than the average person in 2022.
