Taylor Swift Fans Cause ‘Seismic Activity’ with Earth-Shaking Concert Energy
The article discusses the significant impact of Taylor Swift’s Era Tour concert in Edinburgh, where the vibrancy and enthusiasm of her fans were so intense that they created measurable seismic activity. During the concert, particularly when Swift performed the song “…Ready For It?”, fans generated shaking that was detected by the British Geological Commissions, peaking seismic motions that could be felt as far as 3.73 miles away from the venue, Murrayfield Stadium. Over the three nights, more than 200,000 attendees danced with enough energy to generate about 80 kilowatts of power, equivalent to the power of 6,000 car batteries. The article highlights the unique phenomenon where musical events cause detectable earth tremors and compares Swift’s impact to other artists, noting that Harry Styles holds the record for the highest measured tremors at a concert. The report also includes enthusiastic responses from concert-goers, describing the event as a night of joy and collective celebration. Additionally, it mentions the broader implications for the news outlet, The Western Journal, urging readers to support their publication in light of financial challenges posed by reduced advertiser support.

There was a whole lot of shakin’ going on over the weekend as the Taylor Swift Era Tour hit Edinburgh.
“Taylor Swift’s Scottish crowds were so enthusiastic at the weekend that her concerts shook the earth!” the British Geological Survey wrote in a post on X.
The seismic quivering peaked all three nights of Swift’s Edinburgh appearances during the song “…Ready For It?,” according to Deadline.
Shaking their way into second and third place, respectively, were “Cruel Summer” and “champagne problems.”

Here is the BGS playlist of her most seismic hits:

The BGS said that earth-shaking Swifites could be felt up to 3.73 miles from Murrayfield Stadium, where Swift performed to more than 200,000 people over the weekend.
According to the BGS, Eras Tour fans dancing to the music hit a peak of 160 beats per minute as Swift sang “…Ready For It?.” All that shaking generated about 80 kilowatts of power, or what BGS said was about the power contained in 6,000 car batteries.
The BGS data measured what the science types call the maximum amplitude of motion, which measures how much the ground moves. Friday night’s crowd topped the weekend at recording 23.4 nanometers worth of movement.
Do you think Taylor Swift is good for Gen Z?
“It’s amazing that we’ve been able to measure the reaction of thousands of concert goers remotely through our data. The opportunity to explore a seismic activity created by a different kind of phenomenon has been a thrill,” BGS seismologist Callum Harrison said.
“Clearly Scotland’s reputation for providing some of the most enthusiastic audiences remains well intact!”
Swift has made the earth move before. A study concluded Swift made a seismic impact in her August 2023 show at SoFi stadium in Inglewood, California, while a July 2023 show at Lumen Field in Seattle generated the “equivalent of a 2.3 magnitude earthquake.”
But Swift is not the earth-shaking champion, according to the Guardian.
Friday’s show eclipsed Beyoncé, who generated 14 nanometers in May 2023, while Bruce Springsteen only managed 13.8 nanometers that same month.
The record is held by Harry Styles, whose fans generated 30.9 nanometers of shaking power in May 2023.
But Swift fans were thrilled with what they saw and heard.
“Honestly, it was the most magical and wonderful night,” Friday night attendee Lindsay Hempenstall said, according to Sky News.
She summed up the show: “A stadium full of complete love and joy, singing at the top of our lungs and sharing it all with more than 70,000 other people and my nine-year-old daughter.”
