Chris Packham has issued a plea to Taylor Swift, urging the songstress to rethink her travel habits before her UK tour kicks off.
The wildlife presenter has invited the 'Shake It Off' hitmaker to have a chat with him while she's in Britain for her highly anticipated The Eras Tour. Despite jetting around the globe on her private plane for concerts, Packham insists Swift needs to adopt a more eco-friendly approach.
On Good Morning Britain, he expressed his concerns: "I've asked her to think about the future of all of her young fans. She has an enormous capacity to communicate; a very powerful, intelligent young woman. She should be using that platform to be - and certainly not behaving as a rock star of yesteryear travelling around the world in a private jet."
He continued to challenge Swift's environmental stance, saying, "I think that she's got to show that legion of adoring young fans that she cares about their future. Maybe one day, I don't know, Taylor might want children of her own. I'm sure that she wants a healthy planet for them to live on. And to do that we've got to change the way we use our fossil fuels. She could send a very symbolic gesture to millions of people by stopping using her private jet."

Despite not receiving a response from Swift, Packham remains hopeful she will engage with him before a significant rally this weekend, reports the Mirror.
"I have opened up the opportunity to send a video message, which we could play at a rally on Saturday or perhaps 50-60-70,000 people who would instantly become Taylor Swift fans, even though they may be over 15," he concluded.
Chris Packham has extended an invitation to Taylor Swift to join him at the RestoreNatureNow rally. In a conversation with The Mirror, he also encouraged Swift's fans to bring banners to her concerts protesting her use of a private jet.

He questioned: "Is that what it's going to take? Because then I would urge all of the sixteen-year-olds to draw those banners and take them with you."
Swift is the owner of a £42million Dassault Falcon 7X. Her spokesperson stated that the pop star has purchased "double the amount" of carbon offsets as she continues her global travels in her private aircraft.
