Taylor Swift’s Dassault Falcon 7X
Swift sold her Dassault Falcon 900 in January 2024 amid intense scrutiny of her flight activity, leaving the three-engine Falcon 7X as her only jet. Her lawyers sent a cease-and-desist to a student who tracked her aircraft on social media, making her the face of the celebrity jet-tracking debate during the Eras Tour.
