THOUSANDS of Taylor Swift fans attending the Eras Tour in Edinburgh set off earthquake monitors during her three-night mega shows.
The pop superstar played a trio of record-breaking gigs last weekend to 220,000 Swifties at Edinburgh’s Murrayfield Stadium.
Revellers were so enthusiastic that scientists recorded "ground-shaking" activity from 6km (3.73 miles) away.
Seismologists said ...Ready For It? Cruel Summer and Champagne Problems resulted in the most significant activity each night.
The seismic activity from the concert was detected at two monitoring stations, the furthest of which was 6km away at the BGS office in the Lyell Centre.

British Geological Survey (BGS) data suggests that the most enthusiastic dancing occurred on the Friday night, although crowds on each night generated their own significant readings.
The activity was mainly generated by fans 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.
The Friday night event was the most energetic by a small margin, recording 23.4 nanometres (nm) of movement, versus 22.8 nm and 23.3 nm on the Saturday and Sunday respectively.
Callum Harrison, BGS Seismologist, said: "It’s amazing that we’ve been able to measure the reaction of thousands of concert goers remotely through our data.
"The opportunity to explore a seismic activity created by a different kind of phenomenon has been a thrill.
"Clearly Scotland’s reputation for providing some of the most enthusiastic audiences remains well intact!"
Swift's previous sell-out show in Seattle, USA, in July 2023 generated activity equivalent to a 2.3 magnitude earthquake.
Meanwhile, the pop icon went from Shake it Off to Flake it Off for her opening Edinburgh gig after ordering a mammoth GREGGS order for her crew.
Taylor and her team tucked into thousands of pounds worth of Greggs grub, including hundreds of sausage rolls, steak bakes and sweet treats, after the bakery brand was asked to cater backstage, stadium insiders revealed.

The European leg of her epic Eras Tour then continues, including eight huge gigs at Wembley in London.

Michelle Williams, 50, was "beyond devastated" when she and her son, Rhys, 19, arrived in their 'top package' seats that advertised an "unforgettable night" at Murrayfield.
The mother and son's view was ruined by two tents and a lighting rig.
She told how it ruined plans to mark her 50th birthday and create memories with her Taylor Swift "daft" son.
