The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) records indicate that Swift sold her Dassault Falcon 900, which she has owned since 2009. The sale was finalized at the end of January, with the new owner being a somewhat enigmatic limited liability company (LLC), as reported by TMZ. Despite the initial mystery surrounding the LLC, further investigation reveals a connection to CarShield, a notable auto protection firm. The LLC, named Triangle Real Estate and established in Missouri in 2006, lists Nicholas Hamilton, a former company officer, in its incorporation documents.
The intrigue deepens as the FAA lists the new owner’s address as a CarShield call center in St. Peters, Missouri. Nicholas Hamilton is identified as the CEO of CarShield, linking the jet’s new ownership directly to him.

The LLC, Triangle Real Estate, is not just a random entity but one closely associated with CarShield’s CEO, suggesting that the ownership of Swift’s former jet is not as secretive as initially thought. Nicholas Hamilton shares ownership of the LLC with a partner, hinting at shared use of the private jet. Although the financial details of the sale remain undisclosed, the market price for a new Dassault Falcon 900 jet is estimated at around $40 million.
News of the sale comes after Swift reportedly considered taking legal action against Florida college student Jack Sweeney for tracking her private jet during her trip to Tokyo, citing privacy concerns. In 2022, she was listed among the top celebrities with the highest private jet emissions, and her jets logged approximately 166 flight hours during her tour.
