Binge-worthy entertainment news and celebrity interviews
Taylor Swift is one of the most successful artists in the entertainment industry, and she has the wealth to prove it. Besides having homes in multiple cities, the singer is also the owner of a private jet. Here’s everything you need to know about Swift’s private plane, including which of her famous boyfriends have flown on it.
Singer/songwriter Taylor Swift has an estimated net worth of $400 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth. She is one of the most popular and successful stars in the music industry, with more than 200 million albums sold.
Swift got her start in the entertainment world by modeling for Abercrombie & Fitch’s “Rising Stars” campaign, and one of her songs was included on a compilation CD from Maybelline. Swift scored an artist development deal after performing her original songs at a showcase for RCA Records.
After signing with Big Machine Records, Swift dropped her self-titled debut album and her first single, “Tim McGraw.” She reached number one on the US Country Music chart and number five on the US Billboard 200. Her second album, Fearless, reached number one on both charts. Swift has recorded nine original studio albums, and she has won 11 Grammy Awards.
The singer has worked with Target, Keds, AT&T, CoverGirl, Verizon Wireless, and more. Endorsement deals and brand partnerships have significantly impacted her net worth.
Private jets cost several million dollars, but with a net worth as high as Taylor Swift’s, the singer could afford to splurge on her own plane.

Taylor Swift is one of the elite few who own a private jet, and the specific model she purchased is Dassault-Breguet Mystere Falcon 900. According to StyleCaster, Swift paid $40 million for the plane in 2011.
The aircraft has the number 13 on the front, which is notably Swift’s lucky number. The exterior also has the aircraft’s registration number N898TS, with the “TS” standing for Swift’s initials. The roomy interior has 12 seats to accommodate Swift’s squad of famous girlfriends.
At least two of Swift’s celebrity boyfriends have flown on her private jet. She flew Conor Kennedy from his family’s compound in Massachusetts to her home in Nashville. And Swift flew Harry Styles to England when he performed at London’s Jingle Bell Ball while they were dating.
Swift’s boyfriends Tom Hiddleston and Joe Alwyn have been photographed boarding, not the jet with the lucky number 13 on the exterior, but the singer’s other private plane.

In the past, Taylor Swift owned not just one, but two private jets. In 2012, the year after she bought theFalcon 900, she purchased a Falcon 50.
While Swift owned the plane, it was registered to a company named SATA, LLC, which is believed to stand for the singer’s family member’s names: her father Scott, her mother Andrea, Taylor herself, and her brother Austin.
TMZ reported that Swift sold her second jet in 2020, and records showed that the singer transferred ownership on Mar. 16, right before global lockdowns due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) began.
