It is unclear how much they received but TMZ was told that it was a “very generous amount.”

Swift — who has been credited for single-handedly stimulating the US economy — managed to cause another earth-shattering record during a stop in Seattle when fans managed to initiate a 2.3 magnitude earthquake that rivaled the NFL’s 2011 “Beast Quake,” caused by roaring fans after a touchdown scored on the side of the Seattle Seahawks against the New Orleans Saints during a playoff game.
“This was much bigger than the Beast Quake in terms of the raw amplitude of shaking and it went on for a whole lot longer,” Western Washington University geology professor Jackie Caplan-Auerbach told NBC affiliate King 5 after comparing the tectonic activity.

“I grabbed the data from both nights of the concert and quickly noticed they were clearly the same pattern of signals,” the scientist explained to CNN. “If I overlay them on top of each other, they’re nearly identical.”
