Taylor Swift’s fans, known as Swifties, created seismic activity in Edinburgh last weekend during the global superstar’s Eras Tour show at Murrayfield Stadium. The British Geological Survey (BGS) reported that the fans were so energetic that they caused vibrations that could be felt up to 6 km away. The most energetic concert was on Friday night, with 23.4 nanometres (nm) of movement, followed closely by Saturday and Sunday’s shows.
According to the UK’s national earthquake monitoring agency, certain songs generated the most seismic activity each night. Hits like “…Ready For It?”, “Cruel Summer,” and “Champagne Problems” were noted as causing the most movement. Other songs like “Shake It Off,” “But Daddy I Love Him,” and “Getaway Car” also received honorable mentions for their impact on the seismic activity.
Taylor Swift’s Reaction and Record-Breaking Attendance
Taylor Swift took to Instagram to thank her fans in Edinburgh for breaking the all-time attendance record for a stadium show in Scotland three times in a row. Each show had a minimum of 73,000 people in attendance, making them the most-attended concerts in Scottish history. Swift praised her fans for their energy and enthusiasm during the performances.
This isn’t the first time Taylor Swift’s tour has caused seismic activity. During her concerts in Seattle in July 2023, fans danced so much that they generated the equivalent of a 2.3 magnitude earthquake. The Eras Tour has been a massive success, with Swift performing her 100th show in Liverpool, England. She confirmed that the tour will end in December after three final shows in Vancouver. Swift described the tour as exhausting yet rewarding, and expressed gratitude for the support of her fans throughout the journey.
Overall, Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour continues to make waves, both in terms of attendance records and seismic activity. The dedication and energy of her fans have cemented her status as a global superstar, capable of shaking not only stadiums but entire cities with her music.
