I think it depends on need vs want. Does she need her cats, friends and most of the crew? No, she just wants them. Most large venues are able to povide staging crew, for instance. I can see a 'need' for a stylist or lighting director for example, since a local placeholder just wouldn't be able to re-create the exact style or look that they want.

But that's not enough people to warrant a private jet. I think it'd be more justifiable for the plane to be fitted with regular passenger seating and for those seats to be sold to the public as commercial travel

I would think you'd want crew who had trained on the show, who knew exactly where and when the lighting/pyrotechnics/scenery/instruments/costume/etc. changes need to happen, in order to minimize tech rehearsals. And if you're Taylor Swift you can afford that, rather than muddle through with whoever is available at the venues in each town of each country. It might even be more cost effective, by way of the Vimes Boots Theory of Economics. And it would pay off in a clean, safe show every time.

As for friends, in a touring lifestyle how would you have any if they can't come with you, at least sometimes?

Now that suggestion about selling tickets for the rest of the plane is intriguing. She could make a bundle selling them to fans, OR, she could give those spaces to people who need and deserve them. Cancer kids or whatever. Although with the crazy hate out there for her, it would be a security risk...
