13 March 2024–Seattle may have experienced its own Swift Quake last July, but at an August 2023 concert Taylor Swift’s fans in Los Angeles gave scientists a lot of shaking to ponder.
After some debate, a research team led by Gabrielle Tepp of Caltech concluded that it was likely the dancing and jumping motions of the audience at SoFi Stadium—not the musical beats or reverberations of the sound system—that generated the concert’s distinct harmonic tremors.
In their study in Seismological Research Letters, Tepp and colleagues show how they were able to identify the seismic signature of individual songs and determine the strength of each song’s tremor.
They even have a little bit of data on how Swift’s concert stacks up—seismically, that is—against other Summer of 2023 SoFi concerts, including Metallica, Beyoncé and Morgan Wallen

I imagine football stadium engineers get on edge whenever 100K fans stomp their feet in unison to We Will Rock You.
Break step when marching across bridges too...
I am now indifferent to all things related to this pop tart.
Along with blocking highways.
Wary achitects were looking askance at the spindly steel girders/columns supporting towering Beaver Stadium stands in the ‘80s (Penn State). Not sure whether reinforcement was ever subsequently looked into or performed.
I hope that your entire comment is some sort of sarcasm ...
Architects and structural engineers might very well be interested in this sort of thing.
In Florida if we feel threatened by people blocking highways we can just keep driving. The result? WOKE idiots don’t block our highways.
Architects and structural engineers might very well be interested in this sort of thing.
Oh gawd, you sound like architect Mike Brady, reacting to Marcia Brady meeting Davy Jones.
I remember that fans had the entire grandstand swaying as the Grand Funk concert was playing back in 72.
I have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about. If that’s some sort of pop-culture reference ...
well ...
that’s just not how I organize my thoughts or arrange my life.
If roadkill candidates don’t move, a gator may get them, or buzzards will take care of the rest.
have friends who, as they say,”live out of town a bit”. the standing offer is “if you ever have problems with, you Know, certain types of people, we have a backhoe and we always need cheap fertilizer”. friends worth having.
“The songs varied considerably in magnitude, with “Shake It Off” coming in at the largest local magnitude of 0.851.”
Deploy a gravitometer and I bet the field generated would be very weak. Microgravity...
Fans probably beating their heads on the floor from the torture
This has happened in the past -

“In the summer of 1985 rock artist Bruce Springsteen and his

I still have trouble getting in sync with The Wave.
Lol...THE very first tune I thought of.
Our Florida law deals with being concerned that your life could be in danger. We don’t speed up but we can keep driving. It’s a sane choice our Florida sheriffs came up with to protect us. A side effect is it also discourages these types of protest.
