Garth Brooks delivered an earth-shaking performance of “Callin’ Baton Rouge” at Louisana State University on Saturday.
Brooks’ hit song from 1993 is LSU’s unofficial alma mater song and according to a professor at the college, the performance was so rowdy it registered as a small earthquake at Tiger Stadium.

Prior to Brooks taking the stage, a Twitter user named Nicholas Persac asked, “Is somebody at @lsu running the seismograph for when he plays Callin’ BR, or…,” to which the official LSU account replied, “Actually…yes.”
