Swifties continue to make the ground shake, shake, shake according to seismologists in the United Kingdom.
After a three-night stint in Edinburgh, Scotland, seismologists with the British Geological Study say earthquake readings were detected about 3.7 miles away from the Scottish Gas Murrayfield Stadium, where Taylor Swift performed June 7-9.
According to the study, the biggest ground-shaking songs each night included "...Ready For It?" "Cruel Summer" and "Champagne Problems," when Swift receives an earsplitting roar of applause from the crowd. During the "Reputation" opening song, the crowd transmitted 80 kilowatts of power (equivalent to 10-16 car batteries).
"Clearly Scotland’s reputation for providing some of the most enthusiastic audiences remains well intact!" said seismologist Callum Harrison in a news release. "It’s amazing that we’ve been able to measure the reaction of thousands of concertgoers remotely through our data."
Looking at the numbers, Friday night's crowd of nearly 73,000 fans had the most energy, 23.4 nanometers (nm) of movement, narrowly beating out Sunday with 23.3 nm. Saturday night had 22.8 nm.

Last year researchers in Washington and California noted the singer-songwriter's audiences also generated tectonic activity there. In Seattle, the speakers boomed so loud and fans danced so hard that seismologist Jackie Caplan-Auerbach compared it to a 2.3 magnitude earthquake.
Swift will be in Liverpool, England, on June 13-15, Cardiff, Wales, on June 18 and London on June 21-23, and you can see if any other United Kingdom cities register seismic activity by watching this live feed.
