I see many Taylor swift posts with plane. Plane out of plane and more plane out of plane. Walking dog in plane, why so much plane?

Her job doesn’t require private jet use.
Private, public. What’s the difference? She’s not flying in the plane alone, is she?
Do you really think a private jet uses the same amount of fuel to move a passenger from point A to point B as a passenger jet? Or even a car for that 28 mile trip?
I don’t know. Are you going to tell me the answer? I apologize for my ignorance.
A private jet is smaller and lighter. As long as it’s packed full of people, is it really less efficient? I don’t think the economics of jet size is necessarily intuitive, so, again, forgive my ignorance.
Bringing up cars is beside the point. Riding a bike would be even better! But we were talking about jet types.
Taylor Swift owns a Dassault Falcon 900. It uses 267 gallons per hour, flies at 552 mph, and seats 12 passengers.
A Boeing 373-800 burns 850 US gallons per hour, flies at 494–544 mph, and seats 168 passengers.
(Gallons per hour/miles per hour) = gallons per mile
(gallons per mile/passenger count) = gallons per passenger per mile)
Dassault 900: 267/552 = .48 Miles per gallon
.48/12 = .040 gallons per passenger per mile
Boeing 373: 850/494 = 1.72 gallon per mile
1.72/168 = .010 gallons per passenger per mile
A Boeing 737 is four times more fuel efficient per passenger than Taylor Swift’s plane.
All these memes are being spurred on because her private jet made a 13 minute flight that would have been a 30 minute car ride.
Thanks!
