Taylor Swift announces release of Speak Now (Taylor's Version) during Nashville concert

During her sold out concert at Nissan Stadium, Taylor Swift announced the much-anticipated release of Speak Now (Taylor's Version), a re-recording of her 2003 album.

Nashville Tennessean

It's Friday the 13th and while some see it as an unlucky day, Taylor Swift isn't one of them.

The iconic musician comes off her widely successful Eras Tour just in time to celebrate her 35th birthday on Friday, Dec. 13. The fear and superstition that is associated with the number 13 is nothing new and fairly common in all walks of life. But Swift has much love for this "unlucky" number.

Swift has long held the belief that 13 is in fact her lucky number. The number has, indeed, followed the singer most of her life, and Swift has mentioned the significance of 13 in her life in interviews dating as far back as 2009.

Take a look at how the supposedly "unlucky" number has boosted the pop star.

'Back in December' when Taylor Swift was born

Swift's connection to the number 13 started off the day she was born.

On Dec. 13, 1989, Swift was welcomed into this world in Wyomissing, Pennsylvania. And no, it wasn't a Friday but a Wednesday. But she has plenty of Friday the 13th birthdays over the years

In 2002, Swift celebrated her 13th birthday on Friday the 13th. And beyond her birthday this year, she will also celebrate her 52nd (which is also divisible by 13) in 2041 on Friday the 13th.

There's 'No Bad Blood' between Taylor Swift and the number 13

Swift's first album went gold in 13 weeks and her first No. 1 song had a 13-second intro. During an interview with MTV, Swift said, "Every time I've won an award, I've been seated in either the 13th seat, the 13th row, the 13th section or row M, which is the 13th letter."

The star has been spotted sporting the number written with eyeliner on her hands during previous tours, but she has let that drop over the years.

Thirteen has also appeared in Swift's social media. Her Twitter handle is @taylorswift13.

'...Ready for it?': Taylor Swift's love for the number 13 makes its way into her music

Swift may not sport the number 13 on her hands anymore, but she does incorporate the number wherever she can.

In Swift's 2017 album, "Reputation", and in her other albums, she pulled out all the stops when it came to hiding little Easter Eggs in it pertaining to the number 13, according to Billboard. When the album was leaked, many quickly noticed that the 13th track of the album, "This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things" (we see what you did there Taylor), was missing from the leaked version.

Her first No. 1 hit “Our Song,” has a 13-second intro and since then she has used it several times in intros to songs including "Call it What You Want".

She has also hidden 13 into her music videos over the years, including the already referenced packed “…Ready For It?”.

Even Swift's original Eras Tour lineup had 52 stops and, as stated above, the number is divisible by 13. Coincidence?
