After two nights of earth-shaking dancing at Swift’s Seattle “Eras” tour concert at Lumen Field, enthusiastic Swifties caused seismic activity equivalent of a 2.3 magnitude earthquake, according to seismologist Jackie Caplan-Auerbach.
The “Swift Quake” has been compared to the 2011 “Beast Quake,” when Seattle Seahawks fans erupted after an impressive touchdown by running back Marshawn “Beast Mode” Lynch. The ensuing celebration was detected on the same local seismometer as the Swift concert, Caplan-Auerbach told CNN.
Caplan-Auerbach, who works as a geology professor at Western Washington University, saw the comparison in a Pacific Northwest earthquake group she moderates on Facebook and immediately got to work.
“I grabbed the data from both nights of the concert and quickly noticed they were clearly the same pattern of signals,” she said, adding, “If I overlay them on top of each other, they’re nearly identical.”
The main difference between the July 22 and July 23 shows, aside from the surprise songs Swift is known to perform, makes up roughly 26 minutes. “I asked around and found out the Sunday show was delayed by about half an hour, so that adds up” Caplan-Auerbach said.

Yes, it appears he’s playing hopscotch.
I don’t understand the appeal.
I asked my daughter to play three of her top songs - listened and couldn’t tell them apart, they all sounded alike to me, along with monotonous and boring.
LOL. I remember that night well - one of the best of my life.
Someone in my neighborhood (solid BLUE area, Adam Schiff territory) got up on his roof and started screaming: “F- Hillary Clinton, she got what she deserved!”
Over and over and over again in the night.
$3200 a seat! I almost had a conniption fit paying $2.75 back in 1966 Roswell NM, when we saw The Hondells sing Little Honda!
Haven’t been to a teen”concert” since! And all the girls there were what we termed “Bubble Gummers”. Too young for us!
Well she is easy on the eyes, but not $3200 worth.
If John and George came back to life, and there was a Beatles reunion, I still wouldn’t pay $3200 to see it.
Lucky him.
