Taylor Swift proved once again that she is a force to be reckoned with during her recent Eras Tour show in Edinburgh. The record-breaking event not only broke attendance records but also caused some unexpected geological activity.
The talented and beloved singer took to the stage at Murrayfield Stadium in front of a staggering 73,000 fans, marking the start of her highly anticipated UK leg of the tour. And while she thanked her fans for their unwavering support, she probably didn't realize the true extent of their impact.
As the Love Story singer belted out hit after hit, the massive crowd of up to 220,000 fans danced and sang along, causing vibrations and ground movement that were picked up by the British Geological Survey. This unexpected phenomenon was a testament to Taylor's star power and the sheer energy of her devoted fan base.
The seismic activity was most prominent during the high-energy dance numbers like Shake It Off, Ready For It?, and Cruel Summer, with fans reaching a peak of 160 beats per minute. The BGS reported that the crowd was transmitting around 80kW of energy, which is equivalent to the power generated by 10-16 car batteries.
But it wasn't just dancing that caused the ground to shake. The four-minute applause to Champagne Problems also registered on the earthquake monitors, with Friday night's show recording 23.4 nanometres of movement. The tremors were even picked up at two monitoring stations, the farthest being located 3.7 miles away at the BGS office in Lyell Centre.
Callum Harrison, a seismologist at BGS, described the experience as "amazing" and a "thrill" to measure the reaction of thousands of concertgoers. He also jokingly mentioned that Scotland's reputation for enthusiastic audiences remains intact.
And it's not just in Scotland that Taylor's tour is causing a stir. After her successful show in Edinburgh, the 34-year-old took to Instagram to express her gratitude to her fans, writing, "Edinburgh, you truly blew me away this weekend."
As Taylor continues her tour across the UK and Europe, it wouldn't be surprising to see more seismic activity caused by her passionate fans. With a massive fan base spanning all ages and demographics, Taylor has become one of the most streamed artists on Spotify, with a whopping 105 million monthly listeners.
But her success doesn't stop there. With 11 studio albums, four re-recorded albums, and countless extended versions and surprise song drops, Taylor's music continues to make waves in the industry. And let's not forget her recent billionaire status, which only adds to her already massive worldwide platform.
With her undeniable star power and devoted fan base, Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is set to make headlines and break records wherever she goes. And if you have a story or some amazing footage from her concerts, don't hesitate to reach out to us. We would love to hear from you!
