Taylor Swift's Seattle "Eras" tour concert caused seismic activity equivalent of a 2.3 magnitude earthquake, according to seismologist.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.
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 asked around and found out the Sunday show was delayed by about half an hour, so that adds up" Caplan-Auerbach said.
CNN's Chloe Melas, who attended one of Swift's Seattle concerts, shared her observations and experiences as a concertgoer.
