If you missed it, Taylor Swift’s legal team threatened a guy that has been publicly tracking her plane. He argued it was public flight information he was tracking and he was not stalking her.
Except he is currently tracking a flight (on a diff plane, not her own) from Tokyo to Las Vegas with a football/NFL tag by the PrivateJet company… thus proving he is tracking her, not her plane.
did everyone suddenly forget when taylor swift took a commercial flight to japan bc she wanted to see her fans but that caused a whole scene at the airport and all the flights were delayed for hours...
and that was in 2015 mind u... she's more popular now than ever

Hey fellow Swifties from the world! Im getting lots of DMs asking me about whats happening here...
I wanted to fill you in on what's been going down here in Brazil since yesterday, Nov 17th, which kicked off The Eras Tour. But first, let me give you the lowdown on my personal experience from last night.
I left the Airbnb I'm crashing at around 4 p.m. to meet my Uber and head to the concert. There were serious safety concerns around the stadium area after the recent incident with the RBD Latin group where fans were robbed at gunpoint during a chaotic event known as "the big sway" ("arrastão" in Portuguese). The city mayor and state governor assured enhanced security for the concert.
But here's what went down for me. I'm Brazilian, based in Brasilia, and I've tried scoring tickets to see Taylor in the US because of the smooth experience there. You get assigned seats, no need to queue for better spots—you just show up and enjoy. In Brazil, for international or even national concerts, they don't do reserved seats. It's a general standing admission, leading fans to camp out for days for better views.
This caused people to line up in scorching Rio heat, with some falling sick even before the show. We got zero support from T4F (the production company) for basics like water or restrooms while waiting in line. The gates opened an hour late, causing massive lines to snake around the stadium.
I'm talking lines that stretched for miles. I regretted going as soon as I got there, despite having tickets for all three nights. The mess fans left behind while waiting was appalling, with trash strewn everywhere due to the lack of proper disposal spots provided by the company.
Fans couldn't bring water inside, resulting in countless discarded bottles around the stadium. The venue, built for the Rio Summer Games, had its airflow passages blocked off, turning the inside into an inferno despite lower temperatures outside.
It was brutal. My ticket was for a specific section, but finding a seat was impossible. Hundreds, including me, stood in scorching heat all day, no water fountains in sight, and water bottles being sold at exorbitant prices. Those in the GA Pit faced similar conditions. When Sabrina started as the opening act, I thought things couldn't get worse.
Ana Benevides, a swfitie who had a VIP GA Standing ticket to see her, passed away because of the insane conditions she faced before the concert itself.
As for me, drenched in sweat, w/ no airflow, and worrying if I could endure the entire lengthy concert, I felt overwhelmed. Taylor hit the stage at 7:30 PM sharp, and chaos ensued. Fans begged for water, and she paused the show twice to distribute water herself.
I had to leave during "Marjorie" due to sickness and passing out. Devastating after waiting so long. But seeing reports of a fan passing away and the intense heat resonated—it was unlike anything I'd ever experienced.
People rush to the stage here for a good view, leading to a crushing experience once the concert starts. It's pure chaos.
I'm part of a WhatsApp group with 100 other Swifties, and after my Twitter post went viral, we speculated today's show might get canceled due to even worse heat. It happened minutes before Sabrina's set.
I appreciate Taylor's decision, but my heart breaks for the fans who endured heat, traveled far, and anticipated tonight's show. Reports of chaos post-evacuation are flooding Twitter.
I adore Taylor, truly. I hope she emerges from this with her well-being intact. It's been a tough one for Swifties in Brazil. Corporate greed shattered our dreams.
We need the production comapany TIMES FOR FUN to be hold ACCOUNTABLE for whats happening here!
