Taylor Swift’s recent concert in Seattle, Washington turned into an unexpected seismic event when her passionate fans set off a 2.3 magnitude earthquake. The pop superstar’s electrifying performance and the sheer excitement of the crowd resulted in a literal ground-shaking experience like never before.
As the music blared and the crowd sang along, the collective energy reached a crescendo, causing seismic vibrations to register on local seismometers.
The ‘Swift Quake’ has been compared with the 2011 ‘Beast Quake’ when Seattle Seahawks fans erupted after an impressive touchdown by running back Marshawn “Beast Mode” Lynch. According to CNN, the same was detected on the same local seismometer as the Swift concert.
Caplan-Auerbach, a Western Washington University geology professor saw the comparison and started working on it right away, “I grabbed the data from both nights of the concert and quickly noticed they were clearly the same pattern of signals. If I overlay them on top of each other, they’re nearly identical.”
As the music blared and the crowd sang along, the collective energy reached a crescendo, causing seismic vibrations to register on local seismometers.
Seismologists from the Pacific Northwest Seismic Network confirmed the occurrence of the earthquake, stating that it was a rare phenomenon resulting from the intense energy generated by the audience. The quake was recorded at a magnitude of 2.3, which is considered minor and was not associated with any damage to property or risk to public safety.
While it is not uncommon for large gatherings and concerts to cause small vibrations, it is relatively rare for such events to trigger seismic activities that are detectable by monitoring stations.
