Taylor Swift’s Era’s Tour has been interrupted big records in ticket sales, but their shows in Edinburgh, Scotland, just tipped another scale – the seismic scale. Fans at his shows last weekend danced so much they generated seismic activity that was felt nearly four miles from Murrayfield Stadium. according to the British Geological Survey.
BGS says three songs consistently generated the most seismic activity during each of the three Edinburgh shows: “…Ready For It?” “Cruel Summer” and “Champagne Problems”.
“…Ready for this?” It starts with a loud, intense bass beat and has 160 beats per minute, making it the perfect song to set off seismic tremors, BGS said. The crowd transmitted about 80 kilowatts of power, or about the amount of energy created by 10 to 16 car batteries, according to BGS.
The concert on Friday, June 7, saw the most seismic activity, with the ground showing 23.4 nanometers of movement, BGS found.

Although the crowd shook the Earth enough to be recorded on BGS monitoring stations miles away, the people in the immediate vicinity of the stadium were probably the only ones to feel the Earth shaking.
This isn’t the first time a crowd has caused an earthquake — and Swifties are usually to blame.
During a 2011 NFL playoff game between the Seattle Seahawks and New Orleans Saints at what was then called Qwest Field in Seattle, Marshawn Lynch made a move this drove the crowd so crazy that it caused tremors that were recorded on a seismograph.
Scientists were interested in stadium shaking, which earned Lynch a new nickname: “Beast Quake.” But last July, Swift proved that it’s not just football fans who can cause tremors in Seattle. During his Eras Tour show at the venue an earthquake recorded on the same seismograph.
“The actual amount of strongest ground shaking was about twice as large during what I call the Beast Quake (Taylor’s version),” Jackie Caplan-Auerbach, a geology professor at Western Washington University, told CBS News at the time. . “Of course, it also lasted for hours. The original Beast Quake was a celebration by some very enthusiastic fans that lasted maybe 30 seconds.”
When Swift toured Los Angeles’ SoFi stadium in August, a research team from the California Institute of Technology recorded the vibrations created by the 70 thousand fans in the stands.
Motion sensors near and inside the stadium, as well as seismic stations in the region, recorded vibrations during 43 of its 45 songs. “You Belong with Me” had the highest local magnitude, registering 0.849.
