Seattle, WA

Taylor Swift no longer holds the honor of having caused the most seismic activity at Seattle's Lumen Field, per researchers at Western Washington University.Catch up quick: Fans at Swift's Eras Tour concert last July made the ground move more than the "Beast Quake" that followed a Marshawn Lynch touchdown in 2011, WWU geology professor Jackie Caplan-Auerbach said after Swift's 2023 performance.But the ground under the stadium shook even harder last August, when Ed Sheeran brought Seattle rapper Macklemore onstage for a performance of "Can't Hold Us," Caplan-Auerbach recently told KING 5.What they're saying: "Ed Sheeran is not someone who I associate with rampant crazy crowd behavior," Caplan-Auerbach told the station."However, he did bring Macklemore onstage. So here you have a local artist playing "Can't Hold Us," which is a very jumpy song and a very high energy song, and the crowd responded appropriately, and it's definitively the strongest shaking we saw."Yes, but: Swift fans still get points for stamina. They caused the longest prolonged seismic activity, after 3.5 straight hours of singing and jumping, per KING 5.
