Taylor Swift’s ‘Number 13’ private jet, The Dassault Falcon 900LX, is worth an estimated $40 million.
The newly minted billionaire, thanks to her ongoing Eras Tour, actually owns two private jets alongside a fleet of supercars.
Taylor Swift’s 900LX private jet was purchased back in 2011.
Her second plane is a Dassault Falcon 7X – a far sleeker addition to her fleet.

The 900LX sets “the standard in its class for reliability, versatility and fuel economy” according to the French aerospace company’s website.
The private jet covers a range of up to 4,750 NM, while being more 35-40% efficient than other aircraft models in its class.
It can fly from New York to Moscow, Paris to Beijing and Mumbai to London – useful during a world tour.
Due to its spacious cabin, luxurious interiors, and improved efficiencies, Taylor Swift’s private jet is a popular choice among the 1%.
While photos of Swift’s private jet’s interiors haven’t been made public, we know the Dassault’s Falcon 900LX has capacity for up to 12.
It has a spacious cabin, with amenities including a fully equipped kitchen, a bathroom with a shower, and a bedroom.
Swift being Swift, we’d be willing to bet the interior of her plane looks a lot more ‘exotic’ than that.
Unlucky for some, the number 13 on the plane’s livery is no mistake, however.
Sidestepping any superstition, the Grammy Award winner actually considers the digits her”lucky number”.
She revealed all on The Tonight Show.
“I was born on the 13th, I turned 13 on Friday the 13th, my first album went gold in 13 weeks.Also, my first song that ever went number 1, it had a 13 second intro, I didn’t even do that on purpose!” she said.
“And every time I’ve ever won an award at an award show, I’ve either been seated in the 13th row, or row M, which is the 13th letter.
And when I won the Horizon Award at the CMA awards, the producer came up to me when I was sound-checking and he said, ‘Alright, we’re gonna go in 13 seconds!'”
Alongside the ‘Wildest Dreams’ singer’s lucky number, the registration ‘N898TS’, ending in the star’s initials, has been spotted plenty during Swift’s Era’s Tour.
Clocking up some serious air miles over spring and summer, the private jet is most frequently spotted in her hometown of Tennessee.
From there she commuted to and from cities across the US for shows with a serious security convoy.
Alongside her own homes, she’s also been spending time at Travis Kelce’s new mansion in Kansas City.
Swift appears to have largely scaled back her jet usage through 2023 after facing criticism in 2022.
The controversy dragged up further coverage of Swift’s other Dassault jet, a Falcon 7X (N621MM).
It had reportedly emitted 8,293 tonnes of CO2 during the same period, equal to 1,200 times the average person’s annual emissions.
According to Insider, a spokesperson for Swift clarified that she purchased over twice the amount of carbon credits to offset her emissions through the tour via Terrapass.
The Falcon 900LX is noted for its enhanced take-off/landing weight ratios.
This allows the aircraft to make multiple-stop journeys without refueling.
High-Mac blended winglets also reduce fuel burn by up to 33% compared to competitor crafts.

All Supercar Blondie contributors undergo editorial review and fact-checking to ensure accuracy and authority in automotive journalism. After gaining her BA Hons in French and English at the University of Nottingham, Amelia embarked on a vocational diploma from the National Council for the Training of Journalists (NCTJ). This led to numerous opportunities, from interning at Vogue to being on the small team that launched Women’s Health magazine in the UK, which was named the PPA Consumer magazine of the year for three years running. As Health, Beauty and Fitness editor, Amelia personally received a Johnson & Johnson Award and was shortlisted for both PPA and BSME titles. Since then, Amelia has created content for numerous titles and brands, including the Telegraph, 111 Skin, Waitrose, Red magazine, Stylist, and Elle, as well as being Head of Content at Vitality and Editor in Chief at INLondon magazine. “My superpower is translating technical jargon about the mechanical workings of a supercar into a relatable story you’ll want to share with your friends after you’ve read it.” After joining the SB Media family as a senior journalist in September of 2023, Amelia’s role has evolved to see her heading up the SEO output of the editorial team. From researching the most ‘Google-able’ key terms to producing evergreen content - it’s been a time of hard work, growth, and success for the editorial team and the Supercar Blondie website. “I like to think of myself as a ‘method journalist’. In other words: I live and breathe whatever I am writing about. When writing about fitness, I trained as a personal trainer, and as a beauty editor, I completed an ‘expert’ in scent diploma with the Fragrance Foundation. “During my tenure at Supercar Blondie, however, I did something I never thought possible: I passed my driving test at the age of 36. One day I’d love to train as a mechanic to better understand what happens under the hood, too. “My sweet spot is providing readers with a ‘takeaway’ (read: something new they didn’t know before) after reading every one of my stories. While I don’t claim to be an expert in the automotive world, I know the experts and bodies in the field to rely on to provide our readers with an informative and thought-provoking story every time they visit the site.”
