Taylor Swift fans sparked seismic activity equivalent to a 2.3 magnitude earthquake at her concert in Seattle, seismologists say.
Swift’s sold out concert at Lumen Field last week reportedly broke attendance records, at a capacity of about 72,000 people.
The geology professor has not described herself as a Swift fan, tweeting that she was “not opposed . . . just ignorant,” about Swift’s pop music. But she has dubbed the event “Beastquake ” in a nod to the artist’s re-recordings of her previous songs, following a dispute with her former record label. Tarje Nissen-Meyer, a geophysicist at the University of Oxford, said in an interview the vibrations were unsurprising and “basic physics.”
