Gabrielle Tepp, author and amateur bass guitarist, said that the harmonics of the “concert tremor” that was recorded look a lot like those from volcanoes or trains, not quakes. They were low frequency and not heard by the human ear.
Large music festivals and stadium concerts produce similar vibration signals that resemble a harmonic tremor.The biggest bang came when Swift sang “Shake It Off.” The tremor was equivalent to about a magnitude 2 quake. Instead of using magnitude, which is energy given off in a moment, scientists measured radiant energy, which is given off over time, for example, during a song.
Tepp dubbed it “song strength.”After conversions done based on an American Geophysical Union study, these are the the top five energy-releasing songs from Swift:“Keep in mind this energy was released over a few minutes compared to a second for an earthquake of that size,” Tepp said in a news release. “Based on the maximum strength of shaking, the strongest tremor was equivalent to a magnitude 2 earthquake.”She could identify 43 or 45 songs just by looking at the spectrograms – a graph of the strength of various signal frequencies overtime.
The other two songs did not register. “My gut feeling was that if you have a harmonic signal that is nice like these, it had to be from the music or the instruments or something,” Tepp said, admitting that her initial thoughts were wrong.She was so surprised that she set up her own trial, playing Swift’s music over a PA next to a motion sensor.

Star Wars franchise filmmaker George Lucas has been revealed as the richest celebrity in the world.The director, 79, who has accumulated a $5.5billion fortune, topped the annual Forbes list of celebrity billionaires.Lucas, who was the executive producer, writer and director of the Star Wars franchise up until Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith in 2005, also produced the Indiana Jones film series.His production company, Lucasfilm was sold to Disney in 2012 for $4billion, and has produced the later films in the Star Wars series, along with other projects.In his early career, Lucas wrote and directed the 1973 hit, American Graffiti, for which he received Oscar nominations for Best Director and Best Picture.But it was 1977’s Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope, the first film in the franchise, which would secure his success, becoming the highest-grossing film at the time and winning six Oscars, as well as nominations for Best Picture and Best Director.Lucasfilm have also produced two upcoming Star Wars spin-off series, The Acolyte, and Star Wars: Skeleton Crew, both scheduled for release this year.Sitting at second place on the list is celebrated director of Jaws, E.T: The Extra Terrestrial and Jurassic Park, Steven Spielberg, with a hefty $4.8billion.Others in the top 20 list include NBA star Michael Jordan, broadcaster Oprah Winfrey, Lord Of The Rings creator Peter Jackson, and singer Taylor Swift.Swift appeared on the annual list for the first time, in 14th place, following reports by Bloomberg last October that she had become a billionaire.The singer, 34, has broken multiple streaming, box-office and ticket sale records in the past year with the success of her global tour and the release of the concert film, Tay

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have been nominated in the same category at this year’s Webby Awards.While the couple are both up for awards in separate categories at the New York ceremony on May 13, they are also both shortlisted for Best Creator or Influencer Collaboration, Features (Social).Kelce’s nod is for a team-up with the Cheesecake Factory and Swift is nominated for her partnership with Vote.org on National Voter Registration Day.They are both up against Paris Hilton, Amaury Guichon, and TikTok’s Tube Girl.Swift’s nomination comes after she urged her fans to take action at the forthcoming US elections, driving record-breaking numbers to the Vote.org website last September.Vote.org saw its highest traffic on National Voter Registration Day since 2020 as a result of her influence.Last month, she also urged her fans to vote in the US primary elections which saw 16 states cast their ballots to pick their Republican and Democratic nominees for president.Swift has been cautious in her approach to politics over the years, first breaking her silence back in 2018 to back the Democrats in the US midterm elections.In 2019, she went so far as to accuse Donald Trump of “gaslighting the American public”, before officially endorsing Joe Biden the following year.She was responsible for driving record-breaking numbers to the voter registration site.It was reported earlier this year that Biden was seeking a Swift endorsement in an effort to swing the next US Presidential Election.Elsewhere, at the 28th annual Webby Awards nominees, include Lil Nas X, Victoria Monét, Sydney Sweeney, Timothée Chalamet, Trixie Mattel, Ryan Gosling, Michelle Obama, Laverne Cox, Adam Driver, Kelly Clarkson, and more.Public voting is open now via the
Taylor Swift a “real deal” filmmaker after appearing in one of her music videos.In 2022, it was announced that the popstar had signed a deal with Searchlight Pictures to direct her first movie, with Swift having written the script. Swift has previously directed her music videos for ‘The Man’, ‘Bejewelled’, and ‘All Too Well’.Dern, who starred in the video for ‘Bejewelled’ alongside the HAIM sisters, praised Swift’s directing skills in a new podcast appearance.“She is a real deal,” Dern said to The Wrap’s UnWrappped podcast.

Taylor Swift has reportedly sung her songs whilst undergoing brain surgery.36-year-old Selena Campione was asked to sing during her awake craniotomy Hackensack Meridian Neuroscience Institute at Jersey Shore University Medical Center, where the team were operating on her brain tumour.Campione, who is a Swiftie alongside her two daughters, chose to sing her songs during the operation. “I hear her music 24 hours a day, in my car, in my house. I could sing with her on stage, if she wanted me to,” she said.

Taylor Swift‘s fans in Los Angeles caused earthquake-like tremors when watching the singer perform live at the SoFi Stadium last summer.The ‘Midnights’ pop star played six concerts at the huge Inglewood venue in August 2023 as part of the North American leg of her ongoing ‘Eras Tour’.According to a new study from Caltech and UCLA researchers, the third night of Swift’s stint at the stadium (August 5) saw signals from the show register on seismic network stations within approximately 5.6 miles of the SoFi, and on “strong-motion sensors placed near and inside the stadium” (via the LA Times).The report – titled ‘Shake to the Beat: Exploring the Seismic Signals and Stadium Response of Concerts and Music Fans’ – said the researchers were able to identify “the seismic signature” of each track performed at the three-hour-plus gig.Additionally, it found that the seismic activity was most likely a result of the “dancing and jumping motions” of Swift’s LA crowd, rather than the beats and reverberations from the venue’s PA.Researchers calculated each song’s “radiated energy” in terms of its equal earthquake magnitude. The performance of Swift’s 2014 single ‘Shake It Off’ resulted in the “largest local magnitude of 0.851”, according to the study.The singer’s rendition of ‘Love Story’ resulted in a notable amplitude too (0.800).
