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.
