When Taylor Swift caused an earthquake

An earthquake is caused by sudden movements along fault lines deep inside the earth’s crust and no amount of jumping and dancing by a popstar’s fans can mimic its intensity. Taylor Swift performed in Seattle where the energetic display of loyalty and devotion of her fans resulted in seismic activity equivalent to a 2.3 magnitude earthquake. To those who tend to dismiss pop culture as “superficial”, the Taylor Swift quake shows that the power of fandom can also be deeply moving.
