When it comes to shaking it off, nobody does it quite like Swifites who, in Seattle, are said to have caused seismic activity equivalent to a small earthquake during a recent Taylor Swift concert
And this may just be a scientific fact. Washington state seismologist Jackie Caplan-Auerbach examined seismic wave data from a station located outside of Lumen Field in Seattle, where Swift performed concerts on July 22 and July 22 as part of her Eras tour.the activity at the stadium on those nights caused seismic activity equivalent to a 2.3 magnitude earthquake.
"For Taylor Swift, I collected about 10 hours of data where rhythm controlled the behavior," she said."The music, the speakers, the beat. All that energy can drive into the ground and shake it." The seismologist, who works as a geology professor at Western Washington University, performed the analysis in response to a query on a Pacific Northwest earthquake group she moderates on Facebook, in which a person pondered the differences in signal between a Swift concert and a Seattle Seahawks game—which are also played at Lumen Field, which can seat about 70,000 people.
Compared to the 2011"Beast Quake," when fans responded excitedly to a touchdown by running back Marshawn"Beast Mode" Lynch, there was a clear winner.."This was much bigger than the Beast Quake in terms of the raw amplitude of shaking and it went on for a whole lot longer, of course, the Beast Quake was a moment in time, but thus far the Swifties really have Seahawks fans beat.
