Taylor Swift Fans Cause 2.3 Magnitude "Swift Quake" During Seattle Concert

  • Taylor Swift's recent concerts in Seattle caused seismic activity equivalent to a 2.3 magnitude earthquake.
  • The shaking was detected on a seismometer and dubbed "Swift Quake," surpassing the 2011 "Beast Quake" caused by Seattle Seahawks fans.
  • The sustained seismic activity was attributed to the enthusiastic dancing and stomping of over 70,000 fans during Swift's sold out shows.
  • Songs like "Shake It Off" and "Blank Space" were identified as prompting the most ground movement during the 10 hours of seismic data collection.
  • The Eras Tour continues domestically before heading to international stops as Swift's highly anticipated concert series breaks records.
