Taylor Swift may be headed for major legal drama.
Less than two weeks after it became public knowledge that the pop singer sent a cease-and-desist letter to student Jack Sweeney demanding that he stop publicizing data about his private jet flights, he has hit back.
Sweeney’s response, posted on her social media account by her attorney, threatened legal action against Swift.
Jack Sweeney Wants Taylor Swift to Bring a Legal Fight
On Monday, Sweeney posted a two-page letter he sent to Swift, insisting she did nothing wrong by publicly sharing her flight path. In the lyrics to the letter, dated Jan. 25, the college student quoted lyrics from the singer-songwriter’s 2017 single, “Reputation.”

“Look What You Made Me Do,” she wrote, as her lawyer, James Slater, informed Swift in a letter that read:
“There is nothing illegal about GRNDCTRU’s use of accessible information to track private jets, including those used by public figures such as Taylor Swift. GRNDCTRL uses the same information to track Russian oligarchs and Elon Musk. The @taylorswiftjets account engages in protected speech that does not violate any of Ms. Swift’s legal rights.”
Slater added that “Sweeney’s website only provides the location of private jets using publicly available information” and that “that information does not pose a threat to Ms. Swift’s safety.”
The response immediately gained traction on X, with many entering the reply in support of Sweeney. “He just doesn’t want people to know how much pollution he’s responsible for,” said one X user.
Another user shared, “I advise ms swift to reduce gluttony. relax make jam,” while a third enthusiastically declared, “Really. Time to stand up to the bullies,” and the fourth applauded, “I like it. Straight to the point. It would put me on the back foot if I was the team that received this.”

“I don’t really care if Taylor Swift’s jet-setting is made public, and I don’t think it would be very pleasant for her either. But… you are reposting publicly available data, without the threat attached to the post. The First Amendment does protect it. Glad you fought,” said the fifth social media personality.
Meanwhile, this person typed in Swift’s defense, “What you’re doing is inappropriate. If it causes harm to him, you will be responsible for that. The plane I was looking at. It’s a Southwest Jet that says Southwest on it so I don’t think it’s his personal jet. But who knows? But what you did was wrong!”
In case you missed it, Swift’s lawyer, Kate Wright Morrone, has accused Sweeney of “stalking and harassing” the Grammys winner by monitoring her private jet travel during the aforementioned stops.
The letter stated a potential threat to the star’s safety. It demanded that students stop the behavior immediately, warning that failure to do so would result in the pursuit of “any and all legal remedies.”
The letter read in part, “While this may be a game to you, or a path you hope will bring you wealth or fame, it is a matter of life or death for our Clients.”
Taylor Swift Recently Sold One of Her Private Jets to a Mystery Company

Amid the back-and-forth between Swift and the University of Florida student, The Blast revealed that she sold one of her private planes.
The craft, a Dassault Falcon 900 jet he owned since 2009, was reportedly sold to a confusing limited liability company. [LLC] in January. LLC — Triangle Real Estate — is said to have ties to auto insurance company CarShield.
Further investigation into Triangle Real Estate revealed its founding in Missouri around 2006, with Nicholas Hamilton listed as one of the company’s former officers. Hamilton’s interest lies in his role as CEO of CarShield and the fact that the Federal Aviation Administration [FAA] list the buyer’s address as a CarShield call center in St. Peters, Missouri.
The connection suggests that Hamilton could be a potential new owner of the Dassault Falcon 900 Swift jet. If Hamilton is indeed the owner, it shows a significant financial investment on his part, considering the new Dassault Falcon 900 jet is worth around $40 million.
