But other social media posts from concertgoers and even Scott himself illustrated a more likely source of the shaking: A jubilant scene with 80,000 fans jumping to the beat of Scott’s performances at Milan’s outdoor La Maura Hippodrome, as part of his Circus Maximus tour.
"LAST NIGHT WAS A DREAM," Scott posted on Instagram showcasing highlights of the concert. "YALL GAVE YALL ALL 80k OF YALL HAD THE BEST TIME EVER."
Il Messaggero reports this isn’t the first time rocking concerts have been mistaken for earthquakes in Italy, with another similar concert in June sparking wonders of a quake — and even Scott’s performance last August in Rome.
