“I was born on the 13th. I turned 13 on Friday the 13th. My first album Taylor Swift went gold in 13 weeks. My first No 1 song had a 13-second intro,” she told MTV News in 2009.
“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.”
On the podcast After Work Drinks, hosts Grace O’Neill and Isabelle Truman detailed a tip they had received from a woman who claimed a couple was trying to buy out a Rhode Island wedding venue for June 13.
“The venue called her and said someone is willing to buy you out of your date,” Truman said.

“They think it might be Taylor Swift. June 13 is the only 13th that falls on a Saturday, and it’s near Taylor’s house in Rhode Island. Thirteen is Taylor’s lucky number.”
O’Neill and Truman did not name the venue, but internet sleuths have suggested it might be the Breakers, a Gilded Age “cottage” built by the Vanderbilt family in 1895.
“I’ve just looked it up. It’s exactly what I imagined their wedding venue would look like. Very grand, yet distinctly American. It’s huge,” O’Neill said about the unnamed location.
But Gary Ruff, a spokesman for the Preservation Society of Newport County, officially stated “Taylor Swift is not getting married at the Breakers” or any other property administrated by the association.

Popular celebrity gossip account Deuxmoi has also shared doubts about the “urban legend”, citing Swift’s penchant for privacy-protecting NDAs.
“I don’t know if it’s a red herring or if her team started it to see if there’s a leak. There’s no chance it could be true, in my opinion.”
PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WLNE) — 42 million Americans facing food insecurity could lose access to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) in the coming weeks as the government shutdown drags on.
This includes 144,200 Rhode Island residents who utilized the program in the 2024 federal fiscal year, according to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities.
1,113,700 Massachusetts residents utilized the program in that time.
According to US Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins, the SNAP program, also known as food stamps, will run out of money in two weeks.

“So you’re talking about millions and millions of vulnerable families, of hungry families that are not going to have access to these programs because of this shutdown,” said Rollins, accusing Congressional Democrats in the shutdown.
Democrats are still holding out for a deal that extends expiring enhanced Obamacare premium subsidies.
One out of eight Americans utilize the SNAP program for assistance with their groceries.
SNAP has a contingency fund of approximately $6 billion, but total November benefits are expected to be about $8 billion.
