The concert of American singer Taylor Swift in Zurich, Switzerland, led to seismic activity, according to the Swiss Seismological Service (SED).

A similar phenomenon can be observed at concerts of other stars and football matches.

At the stadium where the singer performed, 50 thousand fans gathered, and their synchronized jumping and dancing caused seismic vibrations.

The peak of activity occurred at the beginning of the concert, immediately after Taylor took the stage.

The tremors were recorded within a radius of six kilometers from the venue.

Reference

Seismologists note that such fluctuations are caused by synchronized jumping and dancing of the audience.

This is not the first time that mass events have led to local seismic events.

In Seattle, USA, during Taylor Swift's concert as part of The Eras Tour, seismologists also recorded seismic activity equivalent to a magnitude 2.3 earthquake.
