Taylor Swift Fans Appeal Proposal to Go Vegan to Solve Carbon Emission Problem from Her Private Jet
Read the strange solution the fan proposed!
Some fanbases always support their favorite celebrity on small and big topics. And at this moment, Taylor Swift fans are among that particular fanbase.
The Swifties are currently confused about whether to support or oppose Swift as a damning report from Yard – a marketing and analytics agency – has placed the American singer-songwriter on the top of many celebrities whose private jets emit the most carbon dioxide.
However, one of Swift’s fans on Reddit has come up with a rather strange theory to supposedly make an excuse for the fact that Swift’s private jet has emitted more carbon dioxide than any other celebrity in the world.
In theory, which has since been removed from the Reddit thread, a Swiftie calculated that if Swift could get 70,000 of her fans to stop eating meat, beef to be precise, she could offset carbon emissions from her private jet.
The fan divulged all of the details mentioned in the report of Yard and then talked a bit about the social media following of the singer. “So here is my proposal: if Taylor could convince 70,000 of her American fans to cut their beef consumption in half….”
“…it would completely offset the carbon footprint of her private jet,” the fan added. Following that, the fan did some math showing how much beef consumed equals CO2 emissions and did all sorts of calculations.
The Swiftie continued, “I also want to say that we don’t need to guilt each other over eating beef. Personally, I happen to like chicken just as much as beef anyway, and in the past I would just random pick chicken and beef based on my mood.”
“Once I was aware of beef’s carbon footprint, I consciously chose to choose chicken more regularly. Like I said, only a small percentage of her fanbase needs to do this. I propose that the hashtag be called #NoBeefWithTaylor.”
In the end, the fan also suggested an alternate way. The fan added that Swift could purchase carbon offsets for her jet, costing roughly around $100,000.

When the fan posted this theory on Reddit, many reacted differently. One wrote, “Hard to justify bad things with somewhat good things, at the end of the day she is still ruining the environment for something that’s barely quality of life.”
“I totally agree that meat consumption in America is out of control, and I try to reduce my meat consumption for these same reasons! But I don’t think the onus should be on Taylor’s fans to offset her carbon footprint,” another Redditor wrote before adding;
“We’re not the ones taking the jets. But I really like the idea of her purchasing carbon offsets! I think that would be a really great thing for her to do.”
In the end, the original theory poster mentioned that it was a joke. “If you’re wondering if I wrote all that just to make the pun #NoBeefWithTaylor … the answer is maybe,” the fan wrote.
He then continued, “EDIT: since the joke is flying over people’s heads, I just wanted to point out: ‘A Modest Proposal’ was a satirical essay written by Jonathan Swift, in which he suggested eating babies to solve the hunger and overpopulation crisis. It is now an idiom referring to proposals made in jest.”
On July 29, 2022, the Yard Team released a report after people worldwide started to criticize Kylie Jenner for her private jet usage, with people labeling the model a “climate criminal.” And when Yard published their report, it was found that Jenner didn’t even make it to the top 10.
Taylor Swift was on the top of the list, with her private jet making 170 trips and emitting an estimated 8,293.54 tons of carbon since January 2022. Apart from Swift, other celebrities included in the list were Kim Kardashian, Travis Scott, Oprah Winfrey, Jay-Z, and Mark Wahlberg.

However, Yard had also put out a disclaimer that read, “Whilst there is no way to determine if these celebrities were on all the recorded flights, the purpose of this study is to highlight the damaging impact of private jet usage.”
After the report was made public, Rolling Stone reached out to the many celebrities included in the last, including Swift. And while other celebrities’ representatives didn’t respond, Swift’s rep was happy to make a small comment.
The rep said that Swift’s private jet is often loaned out to other individuals, and to attribute most or all of these trips to her is blatantly incorrect. What do you think? Should Swift be blamed?

Danielle Maltby’s New Tattoo Reflects Breakup, Life Changes, and More
“And then she started surviving. And then she found herself.”
Danielle Maltby is getting candid about her new tattoo and its meaning!
The Bachelor in Paradise alum recently got a new tattoo, which reads, “And then she…” in cursive on the outside of her wrist. When her eagle-eyed fans noticed her new ink, they began asking questions about it and wondered about the meaning behind her latest tattoo.
As many had guessed, her new tattoo also reflects her recent breakup with her now-former boyfriend, Michael Allio. Maltby and Allio began dating during Bachelor in Paradise season 8, and their relationship continued until Allio announced their breakup in September 2023.
On Tuesday, April 23, 2024, Maltby took to her Instagram handle to share a few pictures flaunting her new tattoo. Through the caption, she decided to answer the fan’s query regarding the meaning behind her tattoo.
She wrote, “I’ve had a few DM’s and messages about my new tattoo, so here we go. Break ups, big moves, life changes, death, new jobs, new beginnings are just these massive plot twists in our lives.”
“Looking back on all these things that have challenged my story and character arc (go with the analogy here), I just kept leaning into ‘and then what?’ And then what did I do?” Maltby added. She then revealed what she did over the course of the past few months.
She continued in the caption, “And then she… broke. And then she felt everything all at once. And then she found sparks of joy. And then she washed her hair. And then she smiled. And then she made someone else smile. And then she hurt again.”
“And then she thanked god she wasn’t with him. And then she got a new job. And then she moved. And then she started surviving. And then she started thriving. And then she went on vacation alone. And then she found herself.”
“And then she fell in love with everything and herself. And then she shown brighter, and brighter, and brighter. And then she… ??? There’s always an “and then…” to our stories. They’re constantly being written,” Maltby added.

She concluded her caption by thanking her tattoo artist, Lexi Kip, for inking her. Meanwhile, netizens went to the post’s comment section and expressed how “beautiful and powerful” Maltby’s new tattoo is. Some also praised her for her bravery through the tough times.
One fan wrote, “Oh this is beautiful and so powerful. It’s truly an honor to watch your journey! I may have started following you from your season on The Bachelor, but I stay because your light radiates so authentically, and I am drawn to it. Praying and rooting for you!”
“Love this. And then she lived her best life! Tattoos are my healing and storytelling too, you’ve shown bravery and grace and that should always be celebrated!” another Instagram user commented.
As for Maltby’s other tattoos, she once revealed to ABC that she had a few of them. She mentioned that she had a tattoo on her ribs, which she was getting removed, and one on her lower back, which was almost removed.
Additionally, she stated that she had one tattoo on her left ring finger that spells “strength.” Furthermore, in her tweet of February 2, 2019, she revealed that she has a Deathly Hallows tattoo, referring to the three Deathly Hallows from the Harry Potter film series.

Caity Lotz Is Pregnant, Expecting First Baby with Husband Kyle Schmid
Congrats to the married couple!
Congratulations are in order for Caity Lotz and her husband, Kyle Schmid, as they are expecting their first baby together.
Rumors of Lotz’s pregnancy were first initiated after her Instagram post on April 11, 2024. She posted a few pictures of herself with her friend, in which she was donning a red bikini at a beach and seemingly hiding her baby bump.
The pregnancy rumors were eventually met with a positive response. On Saturday, April 20, Lotz and Schmid took to their respective Instagram handles to reveal that they were pregnant with their first child. The married couple had shared four identical pictures.
In one picture, Schmid can be seen holding his wife’s growing baby bump as she sits on his lap. In another, the married duo is holding each other’s stomachs. Similarly, they posted a sonogram photo as the fourth picture of their respective Instagram posts.
Lotz captioned her pregnancy announcement, writing, “Gaining weight for the role of a lifetime.” On the other hand, Schmid wrote a bit lengthy caption, starting with, “Never would have thought the woman of my dreams could have become anymore beautiful.”
“Your glow, your shine, you’re going to be the best mom in the world. I can’t wait to be a proud poppa. What a whirlwind of a year!” he concluded his heartfelt caption along with four hashtags: “mommabear,” “poppabear,” “bigpoppa,” and “highfive.”
Following their pregnancy announcement, Lotz’s Arrowverse co-stars – including Candice Patton, Katherine McNamara, Javicia Leslie, Danielle Panabaker, and more – along with many fans filled the comment section with congratulatory messages.
For instance, actress Olivia Swann wrote, “AHHHHHHH congratulations Caity!! Sending huge love to you and Kyle, incredible news,” with actress Jes Macallan commenting, “So beautiful! Can’t wait to love on this baby. Can our littles go to summer camp together when they get older?!”
A couple of days later, on Wednesday, April 24, Lotz took to her Instagram handle to share another picture of herself flaunting her ever-growing baby bump. Along with the photo, she wrote, “Now that I’m (hopefully) past all the nausea and extreme fatigue, I’m loving being pregnant!”

As mentioned earlier, this is Lotz and Schmid’s first baby. The now-married couple first met each other through a mutual friend. Their first date was a “quick coffee double date,” which they had with their mutual friend and her husband on February 21, 2021.
Lotz and Schmid eventually began dating, and their bond grew stronger as time passed. A little over a year after they started dating, Schmid decided to take his relationship with his then-girlfriend to the next level and proposed to her in May 2022.
On May 7, 2022, Schmid shared some moments from their engagement via Instagram, expressing his love for his then-fiancee. “The sun rises and sets with you. The moon and the stars have never shone so brightly. You are the love of my life,” he captioned.
Likewise, days before the then-engaged duo celebrated their second dating anniversary, they walked down the aisle and shared their wedding vows. Lotz and Schmid married in an intimate ceremony on February 11, 2023.
Speaking a little about their wedding, it was a destination wedding in Cartagena, Colombia, where only close friends and family members were in attendance. The Flash alum later informed her fans about their marriage on Valentine’s Day of 2023.

Lauren Luyendyk Wants 1 More Baby with Arie Luyendyk, Told Husband to Reverse Vasectomy
“Just wait a little.”
Lauren Burnham Luyendyk, also known as Lauren Luyendyk, has spoken her mind on whether she wants to have more children with her husband, Arie Luyendyk Jr., aka Arie Luyendyk.
The answer is that she wants to have one more baby with her partner. Besides, she even told her husband to get her vasectomy reversed. These revelations came during Lauren’s recent Q&A session, which she held over her Instagram handle.
On Monday, April 22, 2024, Lauren hosted an Instagram Q&A session where one of her followers asked her if she felt her family was complete. The Bachelor alum and her husband are currently the proud and blessed parents of three children.
In reply to the fan’s question, Lauren stressed that the question was a hard one as she recently even told her husband to reverse his vasectomy. However, the parents of three sometimes have a hard time with their kids.
She wrote, “This is such a hard question for me… I told Arie to get a vasectomy reversal the other day, but then we have super hard days sometimes with the kids, and then I sort of question it. I don’t know. I think I might want one more, but just wait a little.”
Lauren’s answer left many of her followers to believe that the reality TV star and her longtime husband might welcome one more baby in the near future. However, it is currently unknown when the married couple will welcome the new addition to their family.
Moreover, Lauren’s husband, Arie, also has to reverse his vasectomy before they plan on having more kids. In this regard, Arie had a few things to say during his recent Q&A session on Instagram in late March 2024.
Firstly, when one Instagram user asked The Bachelor alum if his life at the moment was how he envisioned his future when he started his journey as the Bachelor, Arie replied that he never thought he would be this lucky.

His reply read, “I never thought in a million years I would be this lucky. Honestly, this is better than the future I had carved out in my mind. Lauren is everything and has also given me so much more to love with our three kids. I am forever grateful.”
Right after answering that fan question, he answered another fan question regarding his vasectomy and if he would ever consider reversing the procedure. He tagged his wife’s Instagram handle and wrote, “Whatcha think Lauren?!”
Coming over to Lauren and Arie’s relationship, she has been married to her husband since January 12, 2019. They met on The Bachelor season 22 and engaged on the show itself. Shortly after their wedding, on May 29, 2019, they welcomed their first child, daughter Alessi.
In 2020, Lauren suffered a miscarriage; however, later, in December 2020, the married duo announced they were expecting their second child. Later, it was revealed that they were expecting twins. On June 12, 2021, they welcomed daughter Senna and son Lux.
Some months after the arrival of their twin children, Luyendyk and his wife jointly decided that Luyendyk would have a vasectomy. On February 1, 2022, the reality TV star uploaded a YouTube video revealing he got a vasectomy.
