There is an argument to be made that pointing to individual responsibility or scapegoating of individuals as hypocrites works as propaganda against doing something about climate change.
Climate change adaptation needs far reaching systemic changes. You'd need to make a plan, a partially planned economy, redesign cities and neighborhoods, tear down and build up factories, redistribute wealth and land all sorts of things. So one way to divert from that is to make people believe it's up to the individual. Something like a tracker to track your individual CO2 budget. Or pointing to someone using airplanes to go to a climate conference. Or taylor swift jet setting around the world. Realistically there are no good alternatives except to live the life of a recluse (The Good Place has a funny story arc about this).
So the logic here would be: Making people believe Taylor Swift is the real problem leads to people not thinking about the near impossible changes we would need to make.
Of course, we're not going to make any changes anyway so shitpost away :D
PS: It would be interesting to know how much CO2 it is if you distribute it to the visitors of her concerts instead - instead of increasing her CO2 budget, like any product it should increase the CO2 budget of the end consumer.
