Taylor Swift At Lansdowne Road Generated Seismic Activity In Wexford
Taylor Swift fans at her Eras Tour gigs in Dublin generated seismic activity as far away as Wexford, according to researchers
On the first night, her hit "Shake it off" triggered a sensor in the south east, over 100 kilometres away from the concert itself.
Researchers at the Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies deployed a large number of devices to track the concerts.
The song "Love Story" generated the highest seismic waves of each night.
Commenting on the research findings, Eleanor Dunn, lead researcher said:
“My goal for this research is to create a greater understanding of seismic activity.
"The engagement with fans has been great so far with lots of people sharing their concert videos with us.
"The videos help us to enhance our understanding of the seismic impact of each concert and the research data has revealed some fascinating insights into the energy generated by Swifties.
"It’s important to note the movement generated by the concert was unlikely to have been felt by anyone other than those in the immediate vicinity."
