Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour concert in Seattle had an astonishing effect – it actually caused an earthquake! The talented singer performed at Lumen Field in Seattle on July 22 and 23, and according to seismologist Jackie Caplan-Auerbach, her show triggered seismic activity in the city.
The local seismologist department reported that the seismic activity was comparable to a 2.3 magnitude earthquake, leading to this unique event being nicknamed the ‘Swiftie Quake’. It’s a remarkable phenomenon when a concert has such a powerful impact on the ground.
During her show, Swift gave an electrifying performance of her chart-topping hits ‘Blank Space’ and ‘Shake It Off’, inadvertently setting off significant tremors. This seismic activity lasted for hours, surpassing even the infamous ‘Beast Quake’ in both duration and magnitude, registering much higher on the scale.
Interestingly, Swift herself was completely unaware of the seismic impact her concert had on the city. After the show, she took to her Instagram handle to express her gratitude to the fans. She wrote, “Seattle, that was genuinely one of my favorite weekends ever. Thank you for everything. All the cheering, screaming, jumping, dancing, and singing at the top of your lungs.”
As for the tour itself, it’s being considered one of the most expensive tours ever, with an estimated cost of around $100 million. That’s a testament to the grand scale and production value of Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour.
The concert in Seattle was clearly a massive success, as around 1.44 lakh tickets were sold for the shows on July 22 and 23. Fans from all over flocked to witness this extraordinary event, making it a memorable and historic experience for everyone involved.
