Bringing Traditions Back with Taylor Swift

Taylor Swift is bringing back one of her traditions from 2009. In honor of her “Reputation” tour’s 13th show, the 28-year-old singer decided to paint “13 on her hand.

Taylor took to her Instagram to share a video of her mom carefully drawing on the numbers. “We have an artist at work! My mom is the only one who’s ever been trusted to draw on my 13,” Taylor explained. She continued, “She hasn’t done it since, I think, mid-2009. So, considering the time you’ve taken away from the craft, you’ve really just jumped right back in and excelling!”

Meanwhile, Taylor got a sweet surprise from U2 to help kick off her concerts in Dublin, Ireland. She took to Instagram on Friday to share a photo of her gift with fans.

It features a bouquet of red roses and Taylor’s sparkly pink nail polish as she holds up the Dublin-based band’s handwritten note. It reads, “From your Irish fan club… Bono, The Edge, Adam & Larry.”
