The seismologist, Jackie Caplan-Auerbach, suggested that the cause of this activity could be attributed to either the energetic response of Swift's fans or the powerful sound system used at the shows. These concerts surpassed the previous seismic record in Seattle, which was known as the Beast Quake in 2011.
