A student who was served a cease and desist letter from Taylor Swiftâs lawyers has hit back with a hilarious dig at the singer as well as a letter from his own lawyers.
Sweeney set up social media pages, under the handle @taylorswiftjets, to document her travel habits but it appeared the star had enough.
The âAll Too Wellâ singer’s lawyers issued a cease and desist letter to the owner of the account, saying: “We are aware of your public disputes with other high-profile individuals and your tactics in those interactions, including offering to stop your harmful behavior only in exchange for items of value.
“While this may be a game to you, or an avenue that you hope will earn you wealth or fame, it is a life-or-death matter for our Client. Ms. Swift has dealt with stalkers and other individuals who wish her harm.”

However, on Monday (February 19), Sweeney shared his lawyerâs response to this letter.
In a hilarious bit of shade, he posted the letter on X with the caption: “Look What You Made Me Do,” in reference to a song by Swift from her 2017 Reputation album.
Sweeneyâs lawyer, James Slater of Slater Legal PLLC, wrote in the letter: âPut simply, there is nothing unlawful about [our client Jack Sweeneyâs] use of publicly accessible information of track private jets, including those used by public figures like Taylor Swift.
â[He] used the same information to track sanctioned Russian oligarchs and Elon Musk… The @TaylorSwiftJets account is engaged in protected speech that does not violate any of Ms. Swift’s legal rights.

âYour letter makes that clear by failing to identify any legal claim.â
The letter stated that Swiftâs lawyers only âflirtedâ with the idea their client could face a stalking claim under California law, but added even this was unlikely.
âWe do not know why you believed the best claim against an individual in Florida and his company is a California statute, but that, combined with the absence of any credible legal claim, suggests a groundless effort to intimidate and censor our clients,â Slater finished.
UNILAD has contacted Taylor Swiftâs reps, Venable LLP and Slater Legal PLLC for comment.
