Cruel Summer Solstice on wembley stadium |
Because the summer solstice offers the longest day, many people take advantage of this to occupy their time with something. So Just Stop Oil attempted to target Taylor Swift's plane and spray paint it in an effort to raise awareness about climate change. A different kind of Cruel Summer at the horizzon.
Protesters filmed themselves entering a private airfield and spray painting several private planes orange. It also comes as the singer touched down in the UK for the final leg of her mammoth Eras Tour just hours earlier.
In images and fotage of the incident, two activists appeared to use a circular saw to break through a chain-link fence protecting the private airfield at Stansted Airport on Thursday morning (June 20). They then painted two private jets using fire extinguishers filled with orange paint, before taking photos in front of them.
"Jennifer and Cole cut the fence at the private airfield in Stansted where Taylor Swift's plane is parked, calling for an emergency treaty to end fossil fuels by 2030," the group said. "We live in two worlds: one where billionaires live in luxury, able to fly in private jets, the other where unlivable conditions are imposed on millions of people.
"Meanwhile, this system that allows a few to accumulate extreme wealth at the expense of all is destroying the conditions necessary for humanity to survive in an endless and rapidly accelerating 'cruel summer.' Billionaires are not untouchable, climate breakdown will affect each and every one of us. It's about Swift's plane indeed.
Commenting Taylor Swift's plane incident, Police told The Independent that Taylor Swift's plane was not at the private airfield at the time of the incident, although flight tracking data showed the 'Midnights' singer's Falcon 7x plane landed at Stansted at around 11pm last night.
In other Taylor Swift news, the singer recently confirmed that her career extravaganza, the 'Eras' tour, will end in December. The tour began in March 2023 and recently passed its 100th show. Swift performed a night in Cardiff earlier this week (June 18) - where she performed 'I Hate It Here' live for the first time.
This Summer Solstice comes with big event. She is now gearing up for three concerts at London's Wembley Stadium from June 21-23 before heading to Dublin on June 28 and possibly touring Europe.
