Taylor Swift Seattle concert generates seismic activity
By James GregoryBBC News
Taylor Swift's concerts in the US city of Seattle generated seismic activity equivalent to a 2. 3 magnitude earthquake, a seismologist has said.
The data was recorded at Swift's sell-out Eras tour performances at Lumen Field on 22 and 23 July.
Seismologist Jackie Caplan-Auerbach said The Activity was caused by Swift's fans or The Sound system.
The shows beat the previous record in Seattle, known as The City 's " Beast Quake" in 2011.
That was generated by American Football fans celebrating Marshawn Lynch 's touchdown for the Seattle Seahawks during a game against the New Orleans Saints.
Ms Caplan-Auerbach, a geology professor at Western Washington University, told CNN the difference between the NFL game and Swift's recent concerts was just 0. 3, but the " shaking was twice as strong" and " absolutely doubled it".
" I grabbed the data from both nights of The Concert and quickly noticed they were clearly the same pattern of signals, " She Said . " If I overlay them on top of each other, they're nearly identical. "
The Seattle concerts were played in front of a total of 144,000 fans over two nights.
Posting on Instagram afterwards, Swift said: " Seattle that was genuinely one of my favourite weekends ever. Thank You for everything. All the cheering, screaming, jumping, dancing, singing at The Top of your lungs. "
Swift's Seattle concerts came towards The End of the US leg of the Eras tour - Her first tour in five years.
Music concerts have been known to cause seismic activity before, for example during a 2011 Foo Fighters concert in New Zealand .
