Taylor Swift threatens legal action against a student who tracked the flights of her private jet on social media.

Jack Sweeney, a 21-year-old student at the University of Florida who runs social media accounts where he relays takeoffs and landings of celebrity airplanes and helicopters, received a letter from Taylor Swift's lawyers demanding that he stop his activities. This was reported by UNN with reference to Sky News and The Washington Post.

Social media surveillance of the singer and Grammy Award winner's private jet is causing Taylor Swift "emotional and physical suffering". This is stated by her lawyers in a letter sent to Jack Sweeney, a student from Florida.

Elon Musk supported the singer on the X network.

Sweeney is a terrible person, Taylor Swift is right to be worried

 ," he wrote.

Interestingly, Sweeney was also involved in a high-profile dispute with Elon Musk in November 2022 over the tracking of the X and Tesla owner's private jet.

Jack Sweeney replied to Musk: "Let's remember that you offered me $5,000 to stop following your plane. And you threatened to sue me. And here we are, a year later.

In a comment to The Washington Post, the Florida student said that through his own social media, he  has the right to share this information. Sweeney says he does not mention those on board the plane. In each of his posts about the flight, Jack also reports how much fuel was used during the flight, the cost of this fuel and the estimated emissions into the atmosphere.

It is worth noting that Taylor Swift has faced criticism over the carbon footprint of her use of private jets, although her representatives have previously stated that she uses compensation through the purchase of carbon credits.

Taylor has purchased more than twice as many carbon credits as needed to offset all of her travels on the tour

-  writes News Sky, citing the singer's representative.
