Taylor Swift Shakes Up Mean Girls Day with Album Release

In a surprising move, pop superstar Taylor Swift has claimed October 3rd as her own this year by releasing her 12th album, The Life of a Showgirl, on that date. For the past two decades, October 3rd has been unofficially known as Mean Girls Day, referencing the iconic 2004 film starring Lindsay Lohan.

However, Swift has a good reason for choosing this date. The Grammy winner shared on a recent podcast episode that the album's release date, 10/3, adds up to 13, which has famously been her lucky number as she was born on December 13, 1989. "It's never not annoying," the "Cruel Summer" singer joked, regarding her references to the number 13 throughout her music career. "Always gonna try to force a 13 into the situation. And this one was right there."

The first week of October is also special for the Kelce family, who are now close with the Swift family, as there are several family members' birthdays that month, including Travis, Jason, their mom Donna, and Jason's daughter Wyatt. Though Swift may have declared October 3rd as her day this year, Mean Girls fans have continued to keep the movie's legacy alive over the years by referencing memorable scenes, including the iconic October 3rd moment.
