A nearly 6 kilometer earthquake struck Scotland’s Murrayfield Stadium over the weekend during a performance on Taylor Swift show.
Taylor Swift, 34, completed three shows in Edinburgh on Friday, June 7, Saturday, June 8, and Sunday, June 9 between shows on the European leg of her Eras tour.

This three-day show presents itself in many ways. Her concerts win the audience’s hearts and the audience also celebrates these events very well.
The British Geological Survey (BGS) said seismic readings detected up to 6 km from Swift’s show. “Each of the three evenings followed a similar seismographic pattern, with ‘…Ready For It?’ ‘Cruel Summer’ and ‘Champagne Problems’ resulting in the most significant seismic activity each night,” the BGS said in a statement.
At what scientists call “earthquake” levels, Swift’s Friday night show followed by 23.4 nanometers (nm), Saturday’s 22.8 nm and Sunday’s 23.3 nm.

According to the BGS, the seismic activity was mainly caused by concert goers “dancing in time to the music and reaching its peak at 160 beats per minute (bpm) during. ‘…Ready For It?’, where the crowd was transmitting approximately 80 kW of power (equivalent to around 10 to16 car batteries).”
At Taylor Swift‘s event, many audience members appeared together. They all danced along to her music, causing the city to shake like an earthquake.
Many people have researched this earthquake and discovered the cause of it and explained why it happened. It said that the earthquake caused by their dancing together.
There are different types of sound systems used because of that a vibration is created. It also reported that Swift’s event is a 2.3 magnitude earthquake.

Professor of Geology at Western Washington University says, “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.”
