| The earthquake was recorded during Taylor Swift's Eras Tour performance at Lumanfield Stadium between July 22 and 23: Foreign Media |
Fans attending the concert of pop singer Taylor Swift in the US city of Seattle caused activity similar to earthquakes with a magnitude of 2.3.
According to a report by the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), the earthquake was recorded between 22 and 23 July during Taylor Swift's Eras Tour performance at the Lumanfield Stadium.
The American seismologist and professor of geology at the University of Washington, Jackie Kaplan Orbach, told CNN in an interview that the cause of the earthquake was Taylor Swift fans and the sound system at the concert, while the new concert record in 2011 in Seattle is set up. He also broke the record of the show being voted the fastest.
The 'best rush' record was set by American football fans celebrating during a game against the New Orleans Saints.
Taylor Swift's last concert drew 144,000 fans over both nights.
According to Jackie Caplan and Bach, the difference between Taylor Swift's last concert and the record set in 2011 was only 0.3 points, but the swings were twice as strong.
According to the BBC report, 144,000 fans attended both nights of Taylor Swift's last concert.
The success of the concert was also expressed by Taylor Swift in a post on Instagram, where Taylor Swift called the Seattle concert her best weekend and thanked the fans.
It should be noted that Taylor Swift's concert is not the first event to cause earthquake activity, music concerts have been the cause of earthquake activity before, with a clear example being the Foo Fighters concert in New Zealand in 2011.
