Taylor Swift`s UK fans receive her lucky number: Taylor Swift has praised her British fans for adopting her lucky number, 13. The country singer often draws the number on her hand in eye liner before a gig because she believes that the traditionally unlucky number is a good omen for her. Playing at Birmingham's LG Arena, she told the Daily Star, 'I'm seeing girls with 13 painted on their faces, and I'm like, 'Yes!'

'So many 13s have popped out in the UK – on buses, on houses, in restaurants.'The 21-year-old previously revealed that she picked the number because she was born on the 13th and turned 13 on Friday the 13th.

Her first album went gold in 13 weeks, her first number-one hit had a 13-second intro, and every time she has won an award she's been seated either in the 13th seat, the 13th row, the 13th section or row M, which is the 13th letter of the alphabet.
