Taylor Swift's legal team issues a cease-and-desist letter to Jack Sweeney, a 21-year-old student who tracks celebrities' private jet usage, including Swift's, on social media. The letter accuses Sweeney of "stalking and harassing behavior."
Sweeney, using publicly available information from the Federal Aviation Administration, disputes Swift's team's claims, asserting that it's not an invasion of privacy but a tracking of public figures.
Swift's team cites safety concerns, emphasizing that Sweeney's location information contributes to stalking. The cease-and-desist letter warns of pursuing legal remedies if Sweeney doesn't cease his activities.

Sweeney's attorney argues that Swift's team's claims are unfounded, portraying them as attempts to manage negative public relations and intimidate his client to quash bad coverage.
Swift, previously criticized for her private jet emissions, faces continued scrutiny over her jet usage. The legal action adds to the ongoing discussion about celebrities' environmental impact.
Sweeney tracks various celebrities' private jets, facing opposition in the past, including being banned by Elon Musk for posting the Tesla CEO's "assassination coordinates."
Swift's spokesperson highlights that Swift purchased more than double the carbon credits needed to offset her travel, including the tour. Swift's team suggests a connection between Sweeney's posts and potential stalking incidents.
Sweeney's real-time Swift-tracking account is no longer active, but he has created a new account that tracks the singer's jet on a 24-hour delay.
