Taylor Swift's Concerts Actually Cause Earthquakes Due To The Massive Volume Of People, Including In Edinburgh
Taylor Swift concerts can be officially measured on the Richter scale.
Swift's concerts are renowned for their electrifying performances and passionate fanbase, but recently, they've taken on a new dimension — shaking the earth, literally.
Last week, according to the 'The Washington Post,' during Swift's show in Edinburgh, Scotland, the energy and enthusiasm of her fans were so intense that they triggered earthquake monitors.
The phenomenon was recorded by the British Geological Survey (BGS), which reported that the concert's vibrations were detectable at monitoring stations located 3.73 miles away from the venue. According to the BGS, the crowd's dancing and cheering generated up to 23.4 nanometers of movement.
The BGS even took to Twitter to announce the concert's "most seismic hits." According to their analysis, the songs that generated the most seismic activity, in order, were '...Ready For It?', 'Cruel Summer', 'Champagne Problems', 'Shake It Off,' 'But Daddy I Love Him,' and 'Getaway Car.'
This is not the first time that one of Swift's shows quite literally rocked the world. Her Los Angeles concert also created similar, though not as intense, earthquake-like movements. Her Seattle concert also made the list, registering as a 2.3 magnitude earthquake, according to 'Reuters.'
Swift, 34, is currently on the European leg of the Eras Tour. Fans are impressed by a new slough of sparkling outfits and a new set list. Many songs are from the star's recently released album, "The Tortured Poets Department."
During the tour, Swift thanks her fans. According to 'The Washington Post,' she stood in front of the crowd of thousands and said, "You are so present and it means the world to us as performers when you show up to a concert and when you act this way. ... It makes us want to show you all kinds of fun surprises."
The pop sensation has called her latest worldwide tour "the best experience of my life."
