Best parts:

“Researchers were able to identify 43 of the 45 songs played within the recorded spectrograms.”

Researchers then compared Swift’s show to that of Metallica’s at SoFi. The heavy metal band performed on Aug. 25 and Aug. 27 at the stadium. The band “had the weakest signals in terms of the strongest magnitude from each concert,” Tepp said.

“Metal fans like to headbang a lot, so they’re not necessarily bouncing,” Tepp added. “It might just be that the ways in which they move don’t create as strong of a signal.”
