During the Eras tour, Taylor Swift fans use these three songs to send tremors across Edinburgh.
Imagine dancing with such intensity that it causes earthquakes. Once met with skepticism, this phenomena has now become a regular occurrence for Taylor Swift’s devoted fan base. Instruments located miles distant captured the tremendous energy and limitless dancing moves of the audience during her most recent Eras Tour performances in Scotland. An update on the incident was later released by the National Earthquake Monitoring Agency of the United Kingdom.
Fans of Taylor Swift cause seismic activity in Edinburgh.
73,000 people saw Swift’s Friday concert, which the British Geological Survey called “the most energetic,” registering 23.4 nanometers (nm) of movement. The observations of “22.8 nm and 22.3 nm observed on Saturday and Sunday, respectively” were exceeded by this.
The agency claims that tremors were felt about 6 km from Murrayfield Stadium, where the singer of Cruel Summer first saw a couple get engaged—a scene that is uncommon because of the Scottish sun. The organization made it clear that the seismic activity detector is made especially to pick up even the smallest motions from a great distance. They went on, “It was unlikely that anyone outside of the immediate vicinity could have felt the vibrations caused by the concert.”
The three Taylor Swift songs that created a seismic commotion
During Taylor Swift’s performances in Edinburgh, not only was the audience bouncing, but the ground was too! Scientists claim that the thunderous applause from the crowd actually generated palpable tremors, particularly during the three megahits, Cruel Summer,…Ready For It?, and Shake It Off (no surprise there!). It seems that the crowd’s coordinated dancing produced the most energy during Swift’s performance of “Ready For It?” a fast-paced tune that made the audience move like human power plants and produce as much energy as several car batteries! “According to BGS, the crowd transmitted roughly 80 kilowatts of power, or roughly the amount of power created by 10 to 16 car batteries.”
Taylor Swift’s live performances and the mini-quakes
Swiftie’s fans had stirred things up before, as evidenced by her enthusiastic performances at the Edinburgh gigs. Over 1.2 million concertgoers are expected to attend this UK tour, which will culminate in a record-breaking eight nights at London’s Wembley Stadium. When NFL star Marshawn Lynch’s supporters shook him so violently during a game in 2011, it registered on a seismometer, garnering Lynch the moniker “Beast Quake.” But the Popstar’s Seattle performance quickly broke that record. Her performance at Lumen Field in Seattle caused tremors that the same seismometer detected, demonstrating that music—rather than just football—has the power to shake the earth.
Similar vibrations were produced by 70,000 supporters in the stands during the Eras Tour’s August visit to SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles. According to CBS, the song You Belong with Me registered the highest local magnitude at 0.849. During her performance in Liverpool, Taylor Swift announced that the Eras Tour will officially come to a conclusion in December, with a final stop in Vancouver, Canada.

IU’s agency, EDAM, reports ongoing court proceedings and additional charges as they address severe online threats against her.
Korean singer-songwriter IU, also known as Lee Ji Eun, has taken decisive legal action against over 180 individuals involved in cyberbullying. These legal proceedings, initiated in 2023, are ongoing, with some cases already reaching the formal court hearing stage, according to the recent update from the agency.
The accusations against these individuals range from severe harassment, including threats and defamation, to the creation and distribution of harmful deepfake content. IU’s agency has cited the gravity of these offenses, which they believe meet the criteria for criminal charges

IU files legal lawsuit against 180 individuals over cyber bullying
K-pop idols and celebrities frequently face online harassment, often seen as the darker side of fandom culture. In some cases, cyberstalking escalates to the point where idols are subjected to physical threats. On November 11 (KST), EDAM issued a statement announcing they had filed complaints citing severe harassment cases.
“Our agency, in collaboration with a law firm, has filed complaints targeting those who have engaged in criminal acts, including threats, defamation, malicious false accusations of plagiarism, death threats, privacy violations, sexual harassment, distribution of obscene content, creation and distribution of illegal deepfake materials and other illegal activities,” EDAM ent said in an official statement according to the Korea Times.
IU sues ex-classmate for cyber bullying
According to insiders, in addition to the 180 lawsuits already filed, more charges are lined up. One individual accused in the case also involves the singer’s former classmate. “Among them, there is one individual who is presumed to be a middle school classmate of IU. Despite the ongoing case, it has been found that they continue to harass IU. So, we are responding,” EDAM said.
The case which grabbed a lot of limelight back in 2023 resulted in a major controversy and has so far resulted in six fines, three cases with mandatory education, and one case with probation, according to the agency. Among these cases are accusations from April and May last year, where the singer was targeted with baseless claims of plagiarism.
EDAM also highlighted a particular case where IU faced serious online harassment, including false rumors, sexual harassment, and death threats. Prosecutors have requested a fine of 3 million won (about $2,240) for the person involved. The individual is reportedly appealing the sentence, with a formal trial yet to take place.
EDAM revealed that it has collaborated with “relevant” sources to track individuals using foreign IP addresses or living abroad in attempts to avoid legal trouble. In one case, a suspect accused IU of espionage, claiming she was a spy. However, progress has been delayed as the suspect has continually refused to appear for questioning. This case has now been handed over to the prosecution for further investigation.
