Air New Zealand has suggested pop star Taylor Swift could be the next big name to feature in its in-flight safety videos.
A crew working with Taylor Swift on her new music video has responded to allegations that they breached the terms of their shooting permit while filming at Bethells Beach in New Zealand.
The action created a disturbance to the habitat of New Zealand’s most endangered bird. There are over 1,700 birds building their nests on the sand.
Vogue reports that Taylor’s filming crew was given permission to shoot on a beach location with just two vehicles. Taylor’s film crew reportedly got the green light to shoot at Bethells but brought a small fleet of vans and vehicles with them.
Chairwoman of the Waitakere Ranges Local Board, Sandra Coney told Radio New Zealand that Swift and her crew put the local dotterels at risks by recklessly driving and walking on the beach. She wasn’t personally responsible for those production logistics, according to the local production company in charge of the video shoot.
But the production company at helm of the Swift’s music video, Cherokee Films, issued a statement in defense of Swift, claiming that Swift herself had nothing to do with the filming plans and was unaware of the situation.
The site was founded by veteran aviation journalist and commentator Geoffrey Thomas, who said the editorial team had also awarded the airline best premium economy class and best economy class. “No dotterel were harmed”, the statement read.

Coney, a veteran environmental activist in the area, said she would ask the Auckland council to investigate the behaviour of those involved.
