Taylor Swift has proven her world- class appeal through truly ” earthquake ” concerts within the Eras Tour .
Recently, two concerts of Taylor Swift were successfully held at Lumen Field , Seattle (USA) with the participation of hundreds of thousands of spectators from all over the world. Fans not only went crazy with the female singer, but also created a true earthquake together.
According to analysis by seismologist Jackie Caplan-Auerbach, during those two concerts , the audience simultaneously danced continuously to Taylor Swift’s songs, causing the stadium to have an earthquake, equivalent to an earthquake of about 2.3 magnitude. American media also fondly call this phenomenon “Swift Quake”.

In addition, a seismologist at the Pacific Northwest Seismological Network, Mouse Reusch, also pointed out that, through ground vibrations detected from ultrasound waves, Bad Blood and Shake It Off are two songs. singing makes the audience dance together the most.
The earthquake in the singer’s 1989 concert also broke the record of ” Beast Quake ” from 12 years ago. In 2011, also at Lumen Field stadium, an earthquake also occurred during the Seahawks football match at that time. Hundreds of thousands of fans stomped and screamed, causing the ground to shake at 2.0 magnitude.
Jackie Caplan-Auerbach gave some analysis on the two famous events mentioned above: “Swift Quake took place longer and was larger than Beast Quake in terms of shaking amplitude. The 2011 cheers lasted only about 30 seconds.
It happens more randomly than a concert . Regarding Taylor Swift’s performance, I collected 10 hours of data, in which music, speakers, rhythm were the factors that created the vibrations on the ground.”
Some researchers have compared the magnitude of ground shaking of the two events
Compared to Beast Quake in any year, Swift Quake still has a difference of more than 0.3 degrees richter, enough to strengthen Taylor Swift’s influence on the worldwide music map. Fortunately, this earthquake does not have a negative impact on the Earth, and these studies also help scientists understand more about earthquakes.
