Edinburgh earthquakes triggered by Taylor Swift shows

Thousands of fans attending Taylor Swift concerts in Scotland triggered an earthquake several kilometres (miles) away from the Edinburgh venue, Britain's Geological Survey said on Thursday.

More than 70,000 fans, or "Swifties," flocked to Murrayfield Stadium over the weekend to see the American pop star perform.

Earthquakes in Scotland

The fans of the famous American artist Taylor Swift were dressed in bright and colorful costumes depicting different musical periods from her work.

The dancing of the participants at the concert led to seismic activity being recorded at earthquake monitoring stations 6 km (3.7 miles) away from the venue, the survey said in a statement.

It added that this pattern was repeated on each of the singer's three nights, causing seismic activity each night, according to Reuters.

Swift's previous shows in Seattle and Los Angeles have recorded similar seismic activity, with her Seattle show recording seismic activity equivalent to a 2.3 magnitude earthquake.

Taylor Swift and Earthquakes

Swift's worldwide concert series "The Reigns Tour" is the world's most profitable music tour.

The movements of thousands of attendees at Swift's concert in Seattle, USA, on July 22 and 23, led to an earthquake measuring 2.3 on the Richter scale.

Dancing by about 144,000 people for about 7 hours over two days (about 3 and a half hours a day), in addition to the waves of giant speakers, led to this minor earthquake.

On the other hand, a report issued by the British-based marketing company "Yard" concluded that Taylor Swift's flying habits put her at the top of the list of celebrities who are "emission offenders".

Small private planes emit a lot of carbon dioxide, which contributes to the phenomenon of global warming.

This is not the first time that celebrities have been criticized for their lifestyles that cause a large amount of carbon dioxide.
