Naturalist Chris Packham has urged pop superstar Taylor Swift to think of the "future of all of her young fans" while calling on her to stop travelling by private jet.
The pop superstar, who will take to the stage at Wembley Stadium on Friday as she brings her Eras Tour to London, has been travelling by private plane to all the stops on her world tour.
On Thursday, Just Stop Oil activists sprayed orange paint over private jets at Stansted airport on the airfield where they believed Swift's plane landed hours before.
Essex Police later said the pop star’s private jet was not at the airport.
Speaking on ITV's Good Morning Britain on Friday, TV presenter Packham said: "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 lead and certainly not behaving as a rockstar of yesteryear travelling around the world in private jets.
"And I think that she’s got to show that legion of adoring young fans that she cares about their future."
He said: "Maybe one day, I don’t know, Taylor might want children of her own. I’m sure that she wants a healthy, happy planet for them to live on.
"And in order to do that, we’ve got to change the way we use our fossil fuels and she could send a very symbolic gesture to millions of people by saying that she was going to stop using those jets."
Packham said Swift has not responded to his request but that he has offered her the chance to send a message, which they could play at the Restore Nature Now march this weekend.
British and Irish fans have waited more than a year for the show to arrive, since Swift kicked off her marathon string of dates in Glendale, Arizona, in March 2023.
Swift will play three nights at Wembley Stadium before taking the tour to Dublin's Aviva Stadium next week.
She will return to London for five more shows in August.
