But I will say this, a movement can’t get along without a devil, and across the whole political spectrum there is a misogynistic tendency to choose a female devil, whether it’s Anita Bryant, Hillary Clinton, Marie Antoinette, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, or J.K. Rowling [or Taylor Swift]. And there’s always gonna be people who seize on any opportunity to be misogynistic. So I would advise trans people and our allies [or environmentalists] to keep in mind, that J.K. Rowling [Taylor Swift] is not the final boss of transphobia [anti-environmentalism]. She’s not our devil. The devil is the Republican Party, the Conservative Party.

He takes public city busses in NYC, London, and probably other places. Of course he’s not taking a city bus on tour with him it’s weird you would even imply that’s what I meant

Looks like he rides the bus in Liverpool where he grew up and in New York where they’re used to seeing famous people on public transportation.
So not, say, Kansas City.
And if he, a much bigger star, can reguarly ride a public bus around Manhattan without being mobbed I am confident that Taylor Swift could handle going through VIP checkin at Laguardia surrounded by armed security just like scores of other celebrities do.
Here’s a list of 8 of them.

And here’s another list of 26 more

Or she could charter a flight. I still don’t see what is so bad about chartering a flight. Do you think if she didn’t charter a flight, the thousands of other charter flights wouldn’t happen? This is like complaining about limousines.
She could also fly commercial, there’s no reason not to
Apart from, you know, the security risk I was talking about.
I’m not even talking about something hypothetical here.

The only reason that wasn’t worse is because Japan is a polite society overall.
In all of your fervent defending of a non-issue, have you ever wondered why people go crazy to cause a security issue? It’s because they all want to see their carefully curated bff tay-tay, an image created and maintained by Swift Inc. This is their own problem, and they do it to feed the fanatics that pour every penny they have into an imaginary persona. How the hell is everyone not realizing she’s a BILLIONAIRE, where do you think that money is coming from? It’s the same people that are now “security threats” apparently.
This is like getting mad at the news for showing black friday purchase riots. You’re completely ignoring all of the situation to defend the poor companies being swarmed with customers.
Are you ever going to acknowledge the difference between a private flight and a chartered flight?
