Taylor Swift is currently on her 'reputation' tour and she recently performed at Croke Park in Dublin for the 13th show of her tour. As any Taylor Swift fans will know 13 is the pop star's lucky number, it appears in most of her songs, it's in her Twitter handle and she turned 13 on Friday the 13th!

So, it only seems fitting that she celebrated the 13th show of her current tour with a tradition started between her and her mum many years ago. Posting a short video on Instagram the 'Look What You Made Me Do' singer can be seen holding out her hand for her mum, who is writing the number 13 on it in a marker pen.

"We have an artist at work," Taylor explains, speaking to the camera, "My mum is the only one who has been entrusted to draw on my 13th. She hasn't done it since, I think, mid-2009. So considering the time you've taken away from the crowd, you've really just jumped right back in!" Although coments have been disabled for that video, it has been liked nearly 5 million times!

Taylor is midway through the UK and Ireland leg of her tour, having wowed fans in Manchester and Dublin, she will continue to London for two dates later in the month.

After her Manchester shows, just last week, Taylor revealed one of her talented dancers had been injured in a car accident. Taking to Instagram she posted a photo of Nadine saying, 'I'm sorry to tell you one of our amazing dancers, Nadine, was involved in a car accident a few days ago. While she takes time to recover and heal, we’re all wishing her a speedy recovery and are looking forward to her return to the tour. We all love you Nadine and can’t wait to have you back ❤️❤️❤️ @nadineolmo'

And although (again) comments were disabled on the photo, messages were posted on Twitter wishing the dancer a speedy recovery. One fan account saying, 'Get well soon Nadine ❤'.

Another said, 'Sending big warm fuzzy hugs of love and wellness to Nadine! Wishing her a speedy recovery. ♥️'

According to People, Nadine started dancing when she was just four-years-old and eventually won a scholarship to the Broadway Dance Center program. The dancer recently posted a black and white photo of herself dancing with Taylor Swift and it has already attracted a number of comments such as, 'Get well soon!!! Sending you lots of love!!!💝❤️💞💚💘💙💖💜💖💛💝💛', 'Get well soon Nadine!!! 💕💕💕' and 'Get well soon ❤️❤️❤️❤️'.

Taylor Swift will continue her 'reputation' tour for two dates in London, and if her Manchester performances are anything to go by they will be amazing. She wowed fans in Manchester performing some of her biggest hits, alongside tracks from her current album 'reputation'. She also delighted fans with her performance of 'Shake It Off' joined by her support acts Camila Cabello and Charli XCX.
