Taylor Swift fans are rocking again!
According to the British Geological Survey (BGS), earthquake readings were recorded up to 6km (about 4 miles) away from Swift’s performances at Scotland’s Murrayfield Stadium over the weekend.
The pop star, 34, who is currently on the European leg of her Eras Tour, completed three shows in Edinburgh on Friday June 7, Saturday June 8 and Sunday June 9, all of which produced “seismic activity”. .
“Each of the three nights followed a similar seismographic pattern, with ‘…Ready for it?’ ‘Cruel summer’ and ‘Champagne problems’ which result in the most significant seismic activity every night”, reads the BGS press release.

Described by scientists as a “tremor of the ground,” Swift’s emission on Friday night produced the largest seismic activity recorded at 23.4 nanometers (nm). This was followed by Saturday’s 22.8 nm and Sunday’s 23.3 nm.

According to the BGS, the seismic activity was mainly caused by concertgoers who “danced to the music and peaked at 160 beats per minute (bpm) during ‘… Ready For It?’, where the audience emitted approximately 80 kW of power (equivalent to approximately 10 to 16 car batteries).”

This follows reports of a “Quickquake” on July 22nd and 23rd, 2023 at Lumen Field in Seattle.
According to seismologist Jackie Caplan-Auerbach, the Swifties’ dance moves caused seismic activity “equivalent to a magnitude 2.3 earthquake,” CNN reported at the time.
“I retrieved the data from both nights of the concert and quickly noticed that the signals were clearly the same,” added the Western Washington University geology professor. “If I put them on top of each other, they’re almost identical.”
Researchers from Caltech and UCLA also detected a third “Swift Quake” after the singer’s concert at SoFi Stadium in August 2023.
According to Los Angeles Timesresearchers used motion sensors to study the fifth night of Swift’s six-day run as 70,000 Swifties jumped and danced to the songs.
The data revealed that “Shake It Off” produced the highest local magnitude of 0.851, followed by “Love Story.”
The scientists were also able to compare the scale of the “quick quake” by comparing it to the “concert quakes” caused by performances by Beyoncé, Metallica and Morgan Wallen at the same venue.
