Climate activists have gained access to a UK airport where Taylor Swift's luxury plane is stationed and sprayed private jets with orange paint, a day after they attacked Stonehenge.
The two activists, part of the group Just Stop Oil, made it on to the airfield at Stansted airport north-east of London on Thursday local time.
Essex Police said they had arrested two women, aged 22 and 28, on suspicion of criminal damage and interference with national infrastructure.
The pair, named by Just Stop Oil as Jennifer Kowalski, 28, and Cole Macdonald, 22, used fire extinguishers filled with orange paint to spray two private jets, the group's statement said.
It said they were demanding that Britain's next government after the July 4 general election legally commit to phasing out fossil fuels by 2030.
The 22-year-old said the protest was to show "billionaires are not untouchable".
"We're living in two worlds: one where billionaires live in luxury, able to fly in private jets away from the other, where unlivable conditions are being imposed on countless millions," they said.
Taylor Swift has attracted criticism over her use of private jets.
In 2022, she headlined a list published by British sustainability marketing firm Yard of the "worst private jet CO2 emission offenders" among celebrities.
Her jet flew 170 times in 2022, with total flight emissions for the year reaching 8,293.54 tonnes, or 1,184.8 times more than the average person, Yard said.
The protest at Stansted airport came a day after activists sprayed an orange substance on Stonehenge, the prehistoric UNESCO World Heritage Site in south-west England.
Just Stop Oil said two activists had "decorated Stonehenge in orange powder paint" in a stunt that was roundly condemned by political leaders and heritage bodies.
Police arrested two people on suspicion of damaging the ancient monument.
