Superstitious Taylor Swift jets back to LA with her lucky charm… The number 13 branded across her hand
By Daily Mail Reporter
Last updated at 1:50 PM on 23rd February 2011Taylor Swift jetted back to her native USA last night after wrapping up the Asian leg of her Speak Now world tour in Hong Kong.
Before arriving at LAX, the singer posted on Twitter: ‘Hong Kong, that show last night was unreal, this tour was unforgettable. I will love you always :) Farewell Asia!’
Swift’s successful show might have had something to do with her lucky charm – the number 13 printed on her right hand.

Fate: Taylor says that whenever anything good happens in her life, it has something to do with 13
The singer strolled through the airport with the number emblazoned on her skin, which she says is for good luck.
‘I paint this on my hand before every show because 13 is my lucky number – for a lot of reasons. It’s really weird,’ she said.
Taylor explains: ‘I was born on the 13th. I turned 13 on Friday the 13th. My first album when gold in 13 weeks. My first #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.’
The superstitious star teamed up her number 13 with a gold bracelet, a striped top and red skirt, alongside a big smile on her face.
The 21-year-old country singer kicks off the second leg of her tour in Europe on March 6, starting in Brussels.

She’ll then continue down to North America on May 27, before heading down to Australia and New Zealand later in the year.
As part of her Asian tour, Taylor performed in Taiwan, South Korea, Indonesia and the Philippines and made sure to film part of it for her fans.
She posted on Twitter: ‘Toured Asia + had my camera with me = I made a video blog.’

What publicity would having a 13 drawn on your attract! Some of these comments are ridiculous! Taylor has drawn a 13 on her hand before every single concert for the last 2yrs now as a good luck charm. She has it facing that way so the crowd can read it. And I always find my self holding my bag like that so no she isn't trying to show it off! Taylor is a true inspiration. Ok she may not be the best singer out there and no she doesn't have a voice like Mariah Carey but she is a hell of a lot more talented. She has written every single song she has released, she plays many instruments and she has a beautiful voice. Not only is super talented but she is the most down-to-earth, gracious humble young woman i've ever met. She has her fans back and would do anything for them! And i've witnessed this first hand. I think she is amazing, and if you want proof of that check out her new vlog on youtube out today, she has not let fame go to her head and she deserves everthing she's getting right now

If you see the concert photo, the 13 is for the crowd to see. I wouldn't call that just publicity. So she wants to share that with people, so what? There is much other �performers� out there who want to share much more ridiculous, perverse, etc. things. ie Gaga, Rihana, Minage, They are all sickening to me compared to Taylor. And just perhaps her sweet, fun, nice, down-to-earth persona is actually her real personality. Or are you critics all too cynical to even consider that. Says a lot about you if this harmless, fun, young lady gets you all so upset. And what it says about you is not good. (Bitter, envious and cynical.)

I think Guy #13 might be the lucky one! She's almost there!
