Her fondness for the digit stems from the fact that the songstress was born on December 13, 1989, a little known detail which pops up from time to time in various ways.

For instance, she writes the number on her hand while on tour and two of her albums, Fearless and 1989, have exactly 13 songs on their track listing. Now, Swift has been spied taking her unusual ritual to Instagram, with eagle-eyed fans taking note.
