A seismologist says Taylor Swift fans managed to generate seismic activity equivalent to a 2.3-magnitude earthquake with their dancing and jumping at two of her concerts in Seattle last weekend.
The Eras Tour concerts at Lumen Field registered even more activity than the infamous 2011 “Beast Quake,” when Seattle Seahawks fans celebrated a touchdown by Marshawn “Beast Mode” Lynch. “The shaking was twice as strong as ‘Beast Quake,’” Western Washington University geologist Jackie Caplan-Auerbach said of the Swift-quakes. “It absolutely doubled it.”
Swift herself felt the energy, and thanked her Seattle audience in an Instagram post for “all the cheering, screaming, jumping, dancing, singing at the top of your lungs.” She added: “That was genuinely one of my favorite weekends ever.”
