Swift's Australian Tour Launch
Taylor Swift and her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, spent Valentine's Day apart as Swift arrived in Australia to kick off her Era's Tour in Melbourne. Kelce, an American footballer with the Kansas City Chiefs, was heading back to Kansas City for a celebratory Super Bowl win parade on February 14th.
Cold Shoulder on Valentine's Day
Despite being away from Kelce on Valentine's Day, Swift received a warm welcome from her Australian fans who turned up in large numbers ahead of her seven sold-out concerts. Kelce, on the other hand, was set to attend various events in Kansas City with his team.
Lovebirds' Recent Celebrations
The couple had recently celebrated Kelce's Super Bowl win with a party in Las Vegas before Swift's departure for Australia. However, their Valentine's Day separation was notable as Swift missed out on the celebration entirely due to the time difference.
Highly Tracked Journey to Australia
Swift's journey to Australia has attracted attention, becoming her most closely tracked flight to date. Social media accounts monitoring her flights have raised environmental concerns, prompting Taylor's team to threaten legal action against a student who exposed celebrity carbon emission usage, including Swift's.
Controversial Short Flights
Swift's recent flights, including a 13-minute trip from Cahokia/St. Louis, Illinois, to St. Louis, Missouri, have sparked outrage among fans and environmentalists. Critics argue that such short flights contribute significantly to carbon emissions, leading to concerns about the environmental impact of Swift's travel choices.
