The enthusiasm of Eras Tour viewers created a stir in Scotland.

Murrayfield Stadium in Edinburgh welcomed a record audience when the American superstar performed for about 3 and a half hours each night on June 7-9, CNN reported.

BGS claimed “all three evenings produced a similar seismic pattern”, with performances and dancing to Ready For It? , Cruel Summer and Champagne Problems created the strongest shakes.

BGS added that the crowd at each show creates its own special indicators, but the data seems to show that Friday night (June 7) is the wildest.

“The tremors were detected by sensitive scientific equipment that can detect even the smallest seismic activity many kilometers away, so geological tremors created by the concert are unlikely be felt by anyone other than those nearby,” BGS said.

According to Scottish Rugby, which owns the stadium, nearly 73,000 fans were present for the first show. The next two nights both broke the record on June 7. It was also the largest stadium concert in Scottish history. Last summer, Harry Styles’ concert attracted about 65,000 fans.

The Eras Tour, where Swift performed in 22 countries over 152 days, would become the highest-grossing tour of all time.

It’s amazing that we were able to measure the reactions of thousands of remote concert viewers through our data. The opportunity to explore a seismic activity generated by a different type of phenomenon is exciting.”
