Activist 'Was Targeting Taylor Swift's Jet' During Essex Airport Paint Stunt
Two activists sprayed orange paint on private jets at Stansted Airport to prompt Taylor Swift to address climate change; removal took 45 hours, and they face criminal damage charges.
- On June 20 last year at Stansted Airport, Jennifer Kowalski and Cole Macdonald sprayed two private jets with orange paint and filmed the act.
- The defendants cut a hole in the perimeter fence at 5:02am and aimed to act before airport opening to avoid disruption.
- The jets were owned by an insurance firm and an investment group, and removing the paint took 45 hours because it had seeped into screw holes and rubber seals.
- Kowalski, a 29-year-old ex-Swiftie from Dumbarton, said they targeted Taylor Swift's jet to prompt her to speak on climate change despite doubting the reaction.
- Kowalski and Macdonald deny criminal damage charges; the incident highlights activists' strategies to raise awareness on celebrity environmental impact.
