#13
The number has bad vibes now, but it used to mean something totally different.
Thirteen years later (of course), numbers are still integral to her work.
Did Swift influence that precise podcast date?
The Grammy winner is famous for using numbers in cryptic ways.
13 Radiates Serious Goddess Energy
Its common Swiftie knowledge that 13 is a big deal.
And wait, theres more.
Four of her songs havepeaked at #13.
The 13th song onRed,The Lucky One, repeats the word lucky 13 times.
Call It What You Want also features a 13-second intro.
(Not for nothing, this story published on Dec. 13, 2022.)
When her 31st birthday came around in 2020, Swift was predictably elated.
In my mind, its just the opposite.
Its just13 backwards, she told Jimmy Kimmel.
Five is the number that represents change, free spirit, and adaptability, she tells Bustle.
Its all about new experiences…
If you see five-five-five, that means a huge change is coming.
These devastating songs can be interpreted as rock bottoms that often come just before a significant transformation.
Obviously, shename-drops the timein four songs onMidnights: Lavender Haze, Anti-Hero, Midnight Rain, and Paris.
Why this specific time somanytimes?
According to Kaerhart, theres sound numerological reasoning.
Apparently, midnight can be read by adding up the digits one and two.
The expert notes, Three is the number of self-expression, creativity, mysticism, and magic.
With each midnight reference, Swift sprinkles in some signature imagination and magic.
2 A.M.
The songstress acknowledged herself that she isconstantly writing about 2 a.m.during an Oct. 21 Sirius XM interview.
Its just such a vulnerable, isolated time, she explained.
Its a time when the catharsis of songwriting has helped me the most.
Two, as in 2 a.m., represents partnership, Kaerhart says.
[Those references] could be her way of manifesting love.
Indeed, that timestamp often shows up in songs in which Swift longs for a past or potential lover.
In Enchanted, she wishes for a romantic future with a dazzling new crush.
The lingering question kept me up / 2 a.m., who do you love?
Her love of numbers makes sense.
Shes aware of the power of numbers, Kaerhart says.
Swift seems to have figured it out.
On Oct. 31 yes,31 she became thefirst-ever artist to claim all top 10 trackson the Billboard Hot 100.
Whatever magic shes tapping into, its working.
