Taylor Swift stands as a megastar whose achievements could fill countless pages of books, and whose significance embodies nothing short of a textbook ideal. Through her significant cultural influence, her stardom has earned recognition within the curriculum of Harvard University, solidifying her ongoing presence in the annals of history. While it is no revelation that this impact has also blessed her with an army of followers, her art, on the other hand, has been a game-changer for economic influx with the ongoing Eras Tour.

Following the academicians and economists consequently, it is now the scientists taking an eye on Taylor Swift and her music for allegedly causing a Swift-quake with her Eras Tour. 

Taylor Swift’s songs that shook the ground from the Eras Tour

With Taylor Swift’s jam-packed Eras Tour, shockwaves have been difficult to escape especially, since it literally catalyzed seismic movements. Yet, the vibrations were not outcomes of the energetic drums, massive sound systems, or even the powerful bass guitar; rather, they emanated from her larger-than-life entourage, dancing to the rhythm. According to conversions by Fox Weather based on American Geophysical Union Study after EurekAlert’s report, the top five songs that were trigger points were ‘Shake It Off’, ‘You Belong With Me’, ‘Love Story’, ‘Cruel Summer’, and ‘22’.

The report conducted by Gabrielle Tepp and his team for their study in Seismological Research Letters led to these conversions that Swift’s ‘Shake It Off’ track in reality shook the platelets with 1.798 magnitude of exertion, while ‘You Belong With Me’ took the second spot with an estimated 1.796 magnitude. ‘Love Story’ on the other hand caused tremors of about 1.76 magnitudes as ‘Cruel Summer’ followed close with 1.71 magnitudes of vibration. Lastly, ‘22’ has been a stirrer of approximately 1.64 magnitudes of energy release.

Taylor Swift fans hence, may have just owned her track ‘Shake It Off’ in all its sense, but it began all from a year ago.

Taylor Swift caused an upheaval from Seattle to LA

Last year, with the onboarding of the Eras Tour, the anticipation hit the roof in ways beyond ordinary. In July, Taylor Swift’s concert in Seattle went viral after its sudden register in the Seattle seismograph, pushing scientists to plant strong motion sensors around LA’s Sofi Stadium after contact with the California Institute of Technology. The team reportedly took notes of quake meters within a 5.5-mile radius of the stadium. 

When the singer began performing ‘Shake It Off’, however, the tremors were equivalent to a magnitude 2 quake. With that, Swift definitely made sure that after the Harvard academicians, and economists, she would also become a topic of intrigue for the scientists. Although with her ongoing “nesting” phase with Travis Kelce, the tremors have subsided for the time being. But with the resumption of the tour, it is difficult to grapple with how big a musical earthquake awaits.
