Scientists at Monash University have identified the music best suited to first aid for heart attacks. As it turned out, the songs of Taylor Swift are optimally suited for this purpose. The fact is that the singer found almost 50 tracks in which the rhythm is 120 beats per minute. The researchers hope that the younger generation will learn to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) to these songs.

In order for the manipulation to be successful, the number of chest presses must be kept in the range of 100-120 times per minute. Swift’s work includes many songs that fall into this range – these findings were presented at the Swiftposium 2024 scientific conference. Taylor’s songs, being iconic for the younger generation, are best suited for teaching resuscitation skills and can replace their counterparts that have begun to lose relevance.
