Taylor Swift fans’ dancing at concerts in Scotland created seismic activity – news Culture and entertainment

It is the geological organization British Geological Survey (BGS) that shares the news on X Thursday. Taylor Swift’s Eras tour stopped by Edinburgh, Scotland on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. All three concerts produced results at measuring stations up to six kilometers away. Which of Taylor Swift’s seismic-spiking hits is your favorite? “…Ready For It?” “Cruel Summer” “Champagne Problems” “Shake It Off” “But Daddy I Love Him” ​​”Getaway Car” Show result Friday’s concert at Murrayfield Stadium with 73,000 people in the audience was the biggest impact of seismic waves. – Makes the ground tremble “It has now been scientifically established that Taylor Swift’s record-breaking concerts in Edinburgh are causing the ground to tremble, with seismographs recording up to 6 kilometers from the venue.” writes BGS. “Taylor Swift seismograph” is written on the graph shared by BGS.

At its most intense, the dancing produced vibrations of 160 bpm, beats per minute. It was for “…Ready for It?”. Taylor Swift in action at Murrayfield Stadium on Friday.

While Friday’s concert gave 23.4 nanometers of movement, Saturday gave 22.8 and Sunday 23.3. Swift has an earthquake record This is still not the first time that Taylor Swift and her fans have caused the earth to tremble. Deadline writes that the concert in both California and Washington last year produced seismic effects. According to the Guinness Book of Records, Swift actually holds the record for the most seismic activity due to a concert. It was set when the Eras tour stopped by Lumen Field in Seattle, Washington, USA on July 22 last year. Then 72,171 spectators created vibrations corresponding to an earthquake with a magnitude of 2.3. Measured in magnitude, this is a very weak, barely noticeable earthquake. The British BSG geologists add that even if the vibrations from the sound and dancing in Edinburgh affected their sensitive instruments, it is unlikely that they could be felt by anyone other than those in the immediate vicinity of the concert. The concerts in Scotland were the start of the Eras tour’s journey in the UK, where Swift will play a total of 17 concerts and finish with eight nights at Wembley Stadium in London.
