According to seismologist Jackie Caplan-Auerbach, after two nights of Taylor Swift's Era Tour at Lumen Field in Seattle, USA, fans created seismic activity equivalent to a 2.3 magnitude earthquake.
The American press has dubbed this tremor the "Swift Quake".
Taylor's tremor reminded many of the "Beast Quake" in 2011, when fans erupted after a touchdown by the Seattle Seahawks football team.
They screamed, stomped, and jumped, causing the ground to shake and creating a tremor equivalent to a 1 to 2-magnitude earthquake.
According to People, after research, the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) and the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) officially reported that the crowd watching Taylor Swift's show at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, USA in August 2023 created a tremor.
The researchers measured the seismic event on the fifth night of the Eras Tour Los Angeles using motion sensors.
Data analysis from the frequency-wavelength tracking diagram showed that the 70,000 fans' jumping below to the beat of Taylor Swift's on-stage performance caused an earthquake with a maximum local magnitude of 0.851.
The Caltech and UCLA study builds on the findings of seismologist Jackie Caplan-Auerbach. Jackie previously reported that the record-breaking attendance at Taylor Swift's Eras Tour at Lumen Field in Seattle, USA in July led to a 2.3 magnitude earthquake.
The Western media now calls the act of dancing to Taylor Swift "the Swiftquake".
According to the Los Angeles Times, Taylor Swift is not the only one; concerts by other A-list pop singers like Beyoncé, Metallica, and Morgan Wallen have also caused tremors, but to a lesser extent.
The Eras Tour is generating huge revenue for Taylor Swift, estimated at over $1 billion, making her the female artist with the highest concert revenue of all time.
