A pair of climate activists sprayed two private jets at a UK airport with orange paint Thursday morning – mistakenly claiming that pop superstar Taylor Swift’s jet was parked nearby.
Police were called to Stansted Airport in Essex around 5:10 a.m. local time following reports that two people had broken into the area and damaged two planes, the BBC reported.
The Just Stop Oil group admitted to being behind the incident, and claimed that Swift’s jet was parked at the airstrip during the demonstration.
Stansted Airport, however, denied that the “Anti-Hero” songstress’ plane was there, the outlet reported.
The two activists – Jennifer Kowalski, 28, and Cole Maconald, 22 — were arrested on suspicion of criminal damage, the outlet said.
“As a precaution, runway operations were suspended for a short period, but no flights were disrupted, and the airport and flights are operating as normal,” an airport spokesperson said.
A video posted by Just Stop Oil showed the pair using a power tool to cut the airport fence open before dashing across the runway and spraying two jets with orange paint.
“We just spray painted the f–k out of this jet,” Kowalski said in a selfie video taken at the airfield.
