Taylor Swift fans caused an earthquake at her Seattle concert
Taylor Swift has already broken a number of records this year with her Eras Tour - and now her shows in Seattle caused seismic activity equivalent to a 2.3 magnitude earthquake. For two nights (22 and 23 July), the 33-year-old pop star performed to a record-breaking 144,000 fans at Lumen Field, in the Emerald City in what has now been described as the "Swift Quake." This has been compared to the “Beast Quake," back in 2011 when Seattle Seahawks fans reacted to Marshawn “Beast Mode” Lynch's touchdown. Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter Seismologist Jackie Caplan-Auerbach, who is a geology professor at Western Washington University noticed someone comparing the two events on a Facebook group and decided to investigate further. “I grabbed the data from both nights of the concert and quickly noticed they were clearly the same pattern of signals,” Caplan-Auerbach told CNN. “If I overlay them on top of each other, they’re nearly identical.” Seismographs are instruments used to record the motion of the ground, When looking at the difference in magnitude, the "Beast Quake" was 2.0, while the "Swift Quake" was just higher at 2.3. An earthquake of this scale is minor, it can shake the ground enough for people to notice but damage is normally limited to objects falling off shelves, according to New Scientist. Though Caplan-Auerbach noted a sizable difference between the "Beast Quake" and "Swift Quake" in terms of shaking. "The shaking was twice as strong as ‘Beast Quake’. It absolutely doubled it," the seismologist told the same publication. But in a tweet, Caplan-Auerbach considered other factors that come into play such as the music, speakers and sound system contributing to the seismic activity, not just the fans. While a reaction to a touchdown lasts for seconds, the seismologist detailed how for Swift's concerts she "collected about 10 hours of data where rhythm controlled the behavior." Swift clearly enjoyed the atmosphere at the weekend as she took to Instagram and wrote: "Seattle that was genuinely one of my favorite weekends ever. Thank you for everything. All the cheering, screaming, jumping, dancing, singing at the top of your lungs." Have your say in our news democracy.

There's a good reason why fans care so much about Taylor Swift's hair
A new and devastating war is raging in Israel and Gaza and Britain’s prisons are full. And yet, one of the top trending topics on X/Twitter last night was… Taylor Swift’s hair. More specifically, fans were desperate to know whether the pop icon had chopped her flowing locks after she was pictured on the red carpet sporting a touseled, wavy “bob”. Decked out in an Oscar de la Renta gown and diamond necklace, Swift was a picture of Hollywood elegance at the LA premiere of her ‘Eras Tour’ film. But never mind all that, people wanted – no, needed – to know: “DID SHE CUT HER HAIR?” Well, it would appear that no, she didn’t, but, you know what, it still matters. It matters because Tay is an idol to millions of “Swifties” who pride themselves on having an intimate connection with the multi-award-winning artist. They proudly exchange friendship bracelets at her concerts and gobble up the Easter eggs in her tracks – everything she does has meaning in their eyes – including how she wears her hair. And lo! They’re right! Because even her subtle up-do was loaded with significance. As netizens were quick to point out, the style is a nod to her soon-to-be-released album ‘1989 (Taylor’s Version)’. On the cover of the record (which is a reworking of her groundbreaking album ‘1989’ with the added bonus of five previously unreleased tracks), her beaming face is set against a vast blue sky, dotted with gulls. And, you guessed it, she has her hair in a touseled, wavy “bob”. Swift knows that she doesn’t need flashy campaigns to hype up the new release, which is out on 27 October. All she needs is a hairbrush, a few bobby pins, and the knowing eye of her loyal followers. Sign up for our free Indy100 weekly newsletter Have your say in our news democracy.
