Did Taylor Swift rock your world? Earthquake monitors set up to see how hard fans danced in Dublin

About 150,000 fans attended three Taylor Swift shows in Dublin over the weekend.

Seismologists have measured the impact of people dancing during the sold-out gigs, with the results due to be released this week.

Earlier last month, the British Geological Survey said 73,000 fans at Swift’s concert in Edinburgh, Scotland, led to earthquake monitors 6km away registering seismic activity.

Songs that caused the spikes in seismic activity in Scotland were Cruel Summer, Ready For It? and Shake It Off.

Researchers from the Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies placed seismometers outside the Aviva Stadium during the shows on Friday, Saturday and Sunday night.

They will analyse what songs were fan favourites and what was happening inside the stadium.

The instruments around the Aviva stadium will be dug up tomorrow and the data will be analysed this week.

Lead researcher Eleanor Dunn installed three different types of seismometers around the venue thanks to local residents allowing for them to be placed on their properties.

Ms Dunn, a PhD candidate at the Institute, said seismicity is “more than just an earthquake” and that it is being created every day in Ireland through transport, construction and concerts.

“Irish earthquakes are usually such a small magnitude that we don’t tend to feel them, but they do occur here,” Ms Dunn said.

“However, it is important to note the seismic activity generated at the concerts will not lead to any kind of earthquake or danger to fans in or around the stadium.”

She has appealed to Swifties to get involved in her research.

“I would love for fans to get involved by sharing their videos of the concert with us on social media by using #swiftquakeDUBLIN,” she said.
