Taylor Swift's private jet had reportedly landed at the Essex airfield just hours before as her Eras Tour heads to London.
The Stansted runway was briefly shut down this morning before cops collared the protesters.
The ridiculous stunt comes less than 24 hours after Just Stop Oil protesters threw powdered paint over Stonehenge.
Footage from Stansted shows two yobs cutting through a wire fence and dousing two jets with orange paint.

It is not known who owns the private jets targeted by the vandals.
The pair have been named as Jennifer Kowalski, 28, from Dumbarton near Glasgow, and Cole Macdonald, 22, from Brighton.
Two people have been arrested over the break-in after cops were called at 5.10am.
Chief Superintendent Simon Anslow said: "I would like to reassure passengers and the wider public.

"We maintain a constant presence at the airport and this presence will be heightened over the summer period.
"We have a good working relationship with Manchester Airport Group and Stansted Airport to ensure you can go about your travels with minimal impact.
"We are not anti-protest but we will always take action where criminal acts take place."
Stansted Airport said: "Shortly after 5am, Essex Police arrested two protestors.
"They had entered the private aviation area of the airfield, away from the runway and main passenger terminal.
"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."
Yesterday eco-yobs sprayed at least three ancient Stonehenge monoliths with orange powder paint.
Footage shows a horrified onlooker desperately trying to drag the yobs away from the monument.
The vandals have been named as Niamh Lynch, 21, from Oxford, and Rajan Naidu, 73, from Birmingham.
Lynch and Naidu can be seen sitting cross-legged in front of the desecrated monument.
Two people have been arrested and bailed over the attack, Wiltshire Police confirmed.
In a statement, the force said: "This is to allow us additional time to work with specialists and progress our inquiries.
"A man in his 70s and a woman in her 20s were arrested on suspicion of criminal damage.
"They were also arrested on suspicion of damaging an ancient monument and deterring a person from engaging in a lawful activity.
"It follows reports that an orange substance had been sprayed on some of the stones by two suspects."
A spokesperson added: "We also continue to work closely with English Heritage."
PM Rishi Sunak said: "This is a disgraceful act of vandalism to one of the UK's and the world's oldest and most important monuments."
The Prime Minister added: "Just Stop Oil should be ashamed of their activists.
"They and anyone associated with them, including a certain Labour Party donor, should issue a condemnation of this shameful act immediately."
Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer said: "The damage done to Stonehenge is outrageous.
"Just Stop Oil are pathetic. Those responsible must face the full force of the law."
English Heritage said: "Orange powdered paint has been thrown at a number of the stones at Stonehenge.
