For years, Taylor Swift has been vocal about her unwavering connection to the number 13. Now, with her engagement to Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce, the symbolism of her favorite number has taken on a deeper meaning.
Fans were quick to notice that Kelce is her 13th boyfriend, making the engagement feel like more than just a coincidence—it feels like fate written in numbers.
Why Taylor Swift considers 13 her ultimate good luck charm
Taylor Swift has never shied away from talking about her bond with 13, even admitting she used to paint the number on her hand before concerts. Back in 2009, she explained her fascination in an interview with Jay Leno: “I was born on the 13th. I turned 13 on Friday the 13th.
My first album went gold in 13 weeks. My first No. 1 song had a 13-second intro. 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.
Basically, whenever a 13 comes up in my life, it’s a good thing.”
That pattern has carried into nearly every era of her career. Swifties often point out how her album releases, tour dates, and even surprise announcements somehow align with the number.
To them, it’s not superstition—it’s a reminder of the singer’s consistency in finding light in what most people consider unlucky.
