Taylor Swift fans attending her concerts in Edinburgh, Scotland, for her massively popular Eras Tour danced so hard that they registered as seismic activity during each of her three shows. The British Geological Survey (BGS) confirmed that earthquake readings could be detected up to 6 km (around 4 miles) away from Swift’s concerts last weekend at Murrayfield Stadium, per CBS News.  The outlet noted that BGS said the most seismic activity occurred during Swift’s performance of three songs:  “…Ready For It?” “Cruel Summer” and “champagne problems.”  “Dancing in time to the music and reached its peak at 160 beats per minute (bpm) during ‘…Ready For It?’, where the crowd was transmitting approximately 80 kW of power (equivalent to around 10 to16 car batteries),” the BGS noted. The loud bass in that song and the dancing generated the activity. Scientists referred to the event as “ground shaking,” noting that Swift’s Friday night show caused the most seismic activity, delivering 23.4 nanometres (nm) of movement. The crowd and music on Saturday generated 22.8 nm, while it was 23.3 nm on Sunday. The report noted that the fans attending the shows were likely the only ones to notice the shaking.  This is not the first time seismic activity has been detected from a crowd. CBS noted that the same phenomenon happened at Swift’s stop in Seattle last summer. At the time, it was dubbed a “Swift Quake.” CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP Seismologist Jackie Caplan-Auerbach told CNN at the time that the seismic activity was “equivalent [to] a 2.3 magnitude earthquake.” “I grabbed the data from both nights of the concert and quickly noticed they were clearly the same pattern of signals,” Caplan-Auerback told the outlet. “If I overlay them on top of each other, they’re nearly identical.” Ground shaking from large crowds of fans expressing enthusiasm is not limited to concerts. According to CBS, seismic activity occurred during a 2011 NFL playoff game at Qwest Field when the Seattle Seahawks hosted the New Orleans Saints. This was spurred by a huge fan reaction to a play made by Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch.  The resulting shaking earned Lynch the nickname “Beast Quake.” 

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) said he had a “positive meeting” with former President Donald Trump on Thursday after Trump traveled to Capitol Hill to talk with Republican lawmakers. The presumptive Republican presidential nominee praised the GOP Senate leader during his comments at the D.C. meeting, POLITICO reported. “We had a really positive meeting, he and I got a chance to talk a little bit, we shook hands a few times, he got a lot of standing ovations, it was an entirely positive meeting. Mitt Romney was there, as well, and I can’t think of anything to tell you about it that was negative,” McConnell said. Sen. Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) added that Trump “immediately went in to address Mitch McConnell and said he’s done his best while he was here. He understands elections. And he understands how important two seats are and we need to be focused on those.” .@realDonaldTrump is greeted by Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell of Ky. and Sen.

Trump has slammed McConnell for approving Democrat legislation in the Senate, saying in 2022 that the Kentuckian has a “death wish,” which a Trump spokesman said was in reference to “killing the Republican Party through weakness and cowardice.” McConnell has also blasted Trump, saying he was “practically and morally responsible for provoking” the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot. On Thursday at the Republican meeting, however, there was nothing but solidarity, according to some of the senators who attended. “There was a lot of unity. A lot of people think we’re going in the wrong direction now,” McConnell’s fellow Kentucky senator, Rand Paul said, adding that most of the discussions centered on policy. CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP “I haven’t seen that Republican group as strongly united on all of those policy issues in a long, long time,” said Sen. Mike Rounds (R-SD), who has also criticized Trump over the former president’s allegations that the 2020 election was “rigged” and “stolen.” HAPPENING NOW: President Trump begins remarks in D.C. flanked by Republican Senators pic.twitter.com/kgcBkwO31C — RSBN ??
