SiriusXM has announced that they’re launching a whole channel dedicated to pop superstar Taylor Swift.
‘Channel 13 (Taylor’s Version)’ — named after Swift’s famous lucky number — will launch on April 7, 13 days before the 34-year-old releases her new album, The Tortured Poets Department.
“The 13th day of the channel, Friday, April 19, coincides with the release of Taylor Swift’s new album The Tortured Poets Department,” a Tuesday press release from SiriusXM read. “Channel 13 (Taylor’s Version) will be playing the full album beginning to end continuously throughout the weekend.”
Fans will also be able to share their own stories and experiences with Taylor and her music on the channel, per the release. The channel will be available until May 6.

The number 13 has had a special significance in the “Cruel Summer” singer’s career over the years.
In 2009, Swift told MTV News, “I was born on the 13th. I turned 13 on Friday the 13th. My first album went gold in 13 weeks. My first No. 1 song had a 13-second intro. 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.”
The musician also announced The Tortured Poets Department with her 13th Grammy win back in February.
“I want to say thank you to the members of the Recording Academy for voting this way. But I know that the way that the Recording Academy voted is a direct reflection of the passion of the fans,” Swift said during her acceptance speech for best pop vocal album for Midnights. “So I want to say thank you to the fans by telling you a secret that I’ve been keeping from you for the last two years, which is that my brand new album comes out on April 19.”
She added, “It’s called The Tortured Poets Department. I’m gonna go and post the cover right now backstage. Thank you. I love you. Thank you.”
“All’s fair in love and poetry… 🤍,” Swift wrote alongside the album’s cover art on Instagram immediately after leaving the Grammys stage.
