"Swifties' Concert Quakes: Taylor Swift's Top Songs Shake SoFi Stadium, Caltech Study Reveals"

TL;DR Summary
Seismologists from Caltech reported that Taylor Swift's concert at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles last year caused ground shaking equivalent to a magnitude-2 earthquake, with fans' jumping and dancing during "Shake It Off" registering as seismic activity. The study, conducted at the request of the California Office of Emergency Services, compared the seismic impact of Swift's concert to a Metallica performance at the same venue, finding that despite a higher attendance at the latter, Swift's show generated more ground shaking due to the passionate dancing and jumping by fans.
