Taylor Swift has once again made history with her electrifying performances. The 34-year-old superstar recently concluded a trio of concerts in Edinburgh, Scotland, where the sheer energy of her audience caused measurable seismic activity.
According to the British Geological Survey (BGS), seismic waves from the concerts were detected as far as 6 kilometers from Murrayfield Stadium. Each night’s performance exhibited a similar seismic pattern, with songs like “…Ready For It?,” “Cruel Summer,” and “champagne problems” generating the most significant activity.
BGS noted, “The seismograph data indicates that the most enthusiastic dancing occurred on Friday night, though all three evenings produced notable readings.”
This suggests that the 73,000 fans who packed the stadium on Friday night danced with unparalleled fervor. Over the course of the three nights—Friday, Saturday, and Sunday—concertgoers were treated to approximately 3.5 hours of Swift’s music each evening, setting a new record for attendance at the venue.
The BGS further explained, “The seismic activity was predominantly driven by fans dancing in sync with the music, peaking at 160 beats per minute (bpm) during ‘…Ready For It?’ At this point, the crowd was generating about 80 kW of power, roughly equivalent to the output of 10-16 car batteries.”
This incredible feat has cemented Swift’s concerts as the most attended in Scottish history.
On the final night, Swift took a moment to express her gratitude to her fans from the stage. The fourteen-time Grammy winner said, “It’s been shockingly amazing in Edinburgh because every night I got to go on stage and they pulled me aside and said, ‘You know this crowd broke the all-time stadium attendance record for all of Scotland for all of time.”
“Thank you, Edinburgh! That’s absolutely the wildest way to welcome a lass to your city.”
Swift’s monumental achievement is a testament to her powerful connection with her fans and her unmatched ability to create unforgettable live music experiences.
