Not only is it the day she was born on in December 1989, but over the years it has become so much more.

“I was born on the 13th. I turned 13 on Friday the 13th. My first album went gold in 13 weeks. My first #1 song had a 13-second intro,” she said.

“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.”
