Swiftly does it
Not every 24-year-old owns a private jet. Actually practically not many
24-year-olds can afford to own a house, let alone a private jet. But this is no
ordinary 24-year-old we’re talking about. Having signed her first contract with
Sony aged 14, American TAYLOR SWIFT became the youngest songwriter
ever hired by the company.
The golden voiced artist is known for her narrative
songs about her experiences as a teenager and
young adult. As a songwriter, she is already won
seven Grammy Awards, 12 Billboard Music Awards,
11 American Music Awards, seven Country Music
Association Awards and six Academy of Country
Music Awards. Album sales have passed the 26
million mark and her music has been downloaded
over 75 million times.
When you’re this big, you can afford a private jet,
however old you are. Unless you are John Mayer,
Harry Styles, Jake Gyllenhaal or Conor Kennedy, the
chances that you will get to see the interior, or even
the exterior of Taylor Swift’s private jet are admittedly
close to none. So we’ve done the work for you.
Here’s some interesting trivia in numbers about the
singer’s costly wings:
40 The jet is a Dassault-Breguet Mystere Falcon
900 reputed to be worth $40 million. Swift bought
her little toy in 2011 when it had been around for just
two years. While the rest of us can only dream of
saving up such sums, Swift bagged over $45 million
that year, so for her, this was a steal.
12 Inside you’re find the jet has 12 seats meaning
this is no poky plane. Swift can easily take a group
of her closest buddies for a little trip to the Bahamas,
or perhaps just for tea at the Ritz.
13 This is the singer’s favourite number. She
even goes as far as to draw the number on her
hand before she goes on stage. So it comes as no
surprise to learn that on the nose of the jet you can
see a clearly printed number
