Taylor Swift caused an earthquake in Scotland. Well, it’s not an earthquake by definition, but it did cause seismic activity. This was reported by British Geological Society in a statement in which she even reveals which of the artist’s songs resonated with Swifties the most.
seismographs They detect vibrations and other movements in the ground. This usually occurs due to earthquakes. However, it may happen that the activity causing these vibrations does not come from within, but from outside the earth’s surface. Jumping and cheering from Taylor Swift fans caused the ground to shake beneath their feet, causing the activity to be detected by seismographs.
They are found 6 km from Murrayfield Stadium, Edinburghduring which Taylor Swift gave three concerts, from 7 to 9 June. All of them caused seismic activity, and in all three songs that caused the most tremors were the same ones. This is not the first time this has happened to the singer. Moreover, she is not the only artist whose fans make the Earth shake.
The three songs Swifties danced to the most
At three Taylor Swift concerts in Edinburgh, the same songs generated the most activity on the seismographs: Ready for it, Cruel Summer And Champagne problems. First of all, the first caused fervor among the public, whose activities shook the earth with force 80 kilowattswhich is equivalent to more than 10 car batteries.
As for the busiest day, it was on Fridayat the first of the concerts, when there was a lot of seismic activity, with this song.
This isn’t the first time something like this has happened at a Taylor Swift concert. In July 2023, seismic activity is equivalent to earthquake of magnitude 2.3. There was also a precedent for the European tour with a concert held in Lisbon last month. In this case, the false earthquake was 0.82enough to demonstrate the passion that drives the singer’s fans.
It’s not just Taylor Swift
In fact, Taylor Swift wasn’t the first person to rock a stadium, and she won’t be the last. In fact, in Spain we have an observatory in Institute of Geosciences Jaume-Almerawhich often covers such events when they take place in Barcelona, at the Camp Nou, very close to its facilities.
For example, in 2016, another mass idol, Bruce Springsteen, caused the institute’s seismographs to explode. Above everything the earth trembled from two songs: Dancing in the dark And scream.
But music concerts are not the only events that provoke this type of activity. All over the world there have been football matches during which the ground vibrated under the feet of fans excited by a goal. The same institute that announced what happened to Bruce Springsteen found something similar in a 2017 Champions League match. He Football Club Barcelona He scored 6 goals against Paris Saint-Germainbut above all, one of them caused a storm of emotions in Barcelona.
Moreover, the chimes of some churches are also capable of generating such activity. It’s not just that people are jumping.
Ultimately, Eras Tour Taylor Swift is a revolution that could cause an earthquake among her followers. But she is not the first to succeed. In fact, when people get excited, we do it in style.
