After suing a college student for tracking her jet usage, Taylor Swift has created a massive move in relation to it.

The Daily Mail reported that the "Snow On The Beach" singer recently transferred ownership of her private plane to Car Shield, an auto insurance company based in Missouri.

This decision follows the singer's purchase of the aircraft for a staggering $40 million in 2011.

However, according to the TMZ, its current estimated value is only around $7 million when sold as used.

On January 30, Triangle Real Estate LLC took ownership of the craft, previously owned by SATA LLC, a Nashville-based company thought to be named after the Swift family members, including Scott, Andrea, Taylor, and Austin.

This transfer of ownership comes after the sale of another smaller jet, the Dassault Falcon 50, which the "Lavender Haze" singer purchased in 2012 for $4 million.

Although both jets have been sold, it's highly improbable that Swifties will have the opportunity to share a commercial flight with their favorite pop star anytime soon.

Few things generate less buzz than selling a private jet.

Threatening College Student with Lawsuit

However, Taylor Swift's story and her luxurious means of transportation have been a hot topic for quite some time, all thanks to the unexpected involvement of a college student named Jack Sweeney.

Jack has managed numerous accounts that diligently share public knowledge from the Federal Aviation Administration, focusing mainly on the travel itineraries of esteemed individuals such as the singer and tech tycoon Elon Musk.

Focusing on the ecological impact, the social media user's posts consistently emphasize the staggering amount of carbon emissions generated by the private planes favored by celebrities like Taylor Swift, shedding light on the frequency with which these environmentally concerning modes of transportation are utilized, even for short-range journeys.

In response to Jack's continuous publication of information regarding Taylor Swift's flights, the singer's legal team has taken action by sending him a cease-and-desist letter.

The letter emphasizes the need for him to halt his actions or face severe consequences immediately.

According to the court doc, failing to comply with this request will result in Taylor pursuing all possible legal measures to put an end to what is deemed as Jack's "persistent stalking and harassment."

Accusations were thrown at Jack's account, claiming that it had inflicted direct and irreparable harm on the Grammy winner and her loved ones.

"Not only did it cause them emotional and physical distress, but it also heightened [Taylor's] perpetual state of fear for her safety."
