Taylor Swift’s concert caused a small earthquake in Seattle last week, seismologists claimed. The fans shook the ground so hard as Swift sang, “I shake it off, I shake it off.” It triggered a nearby seismometer (earthquake detector).
The music was booming, and residents said that it was the largest concert for a while. The earthquake was soon documented and was nicknamed “Swift Quake,” and the maximum ground acceleration recorded was a rough 0.011 meters per second squared.
Seismologists analyze: the likeliest cause of the shaking ground is the Taylor Swift fans, also known as Swifties, dancing to the music.
At the shaking peaks, it was probably because a famous song was playing. Besides, songs like “Shake it off,” “Love Story,” and “Anti-Hero” would definitely get those Swifties off their chairs!
