Experts say that the movement at the music party of the American singer Taylor Swift caused an earthquake.

Taylor Swift's concert in Seattle, Washington, was hit by a 2.3-magnitude earthquake. Earth scientist Jackie Kaplan-Orbach said the small earthquake was caused by Taylor Swift's fans or her sound system.

The ground shaking at the music festival broke the previous record set at Seattle 2011. In the so-called 'Beast Quake' incident in 2011, a rugby match in Seattle caused a 2-point earthquake when fans cheered when the home team scored a point.

Dr. Jackie Kaplan-Orbach, a geoscientist at Western Washington University, told CNN that the magnitude of the earthquake between the sports event and the music festival was only 0.3, but the music festival created a strong feeling. “The movement was doubly strong. "When I looked at the data from both nights, I quickly realized that they both had the same results," said the expert.

Swift performed her concert in Seattle in front of approximately 144,000 fans for two consecutive nights. "My weekend in Seattle was one of my favorite parts of the weekend," Taylor Swift wrote on Instagram after the event. Thank you for everything,” she said.

In the past, sporting events and music festivals were similarly prone to earthquakes. In 2011, a 50,000-strong crowd at a music festival in New Zealand recorded an earthquake.

In England, in 2016, when Leicester City fans expressed their joy at the goal scored by their team against their rival in the last minutes, an earthquake of the fourth magnitude was recorded.
