How Taylor Swift's Lucky Number 13 Connects to Travis Kelce's Big Game at the Super Bowl (2024)

Taylor Swift really is a mastermind!

As her boyfriend Travis Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs prepare to take on the San Francisco 49ers during the 2024 Super Bowl in Las Vegas, Swifties have taken note of many ways the Big Game connects to the singer’s lucky number.

The number 13 has had a special significance in Swift’s career through the years. As she previously explained to MTV News, "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."

After cheering on Kelce at various games this year, the upcoming Super Bowl would notably mark her 13th Kansas City Chiefs game if she attends. And that’s just the beginning of the long list of coincidences!

Read ahead for all the ways Swift’s lucky number connects to the upcoming Super Bowl.
