Taylor Swift gets the nod from SiriusXM with 'Channel 13 Taylor's Version'

Taylor Swift will have an entire channel dedicated to her by the platform, SiriusXM, who announced the news on April 2, 2024.

It was revealed that the channel will be titled, Channel 13 (Taylor’s Version) and will launch on April 7, 13 days before the release of Swift’s latest album, The Tortured Poets Department.

The press release from SiriusXM read, “The 13th day of the channel, Friday, April 19, coincides with the release of Taylor Swift’s new album The Tortured Poets Department.”

“Channel 13 (Taylor’s Version) will be playing the full album beginning to end continuously throughout the weekend,” it further read.

According to the press release, the channel would be available for a limited time, that is, May 6, 2024, where Swift’s fans will also be able to share their own stories and experiences with the Lover crooner.

Named after the pop sensation’s lucky number, 13, this odd number has had prime significance in Swift’s career.

The Midnights album-maker told MTV news back in 2009, "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."

Taylor Swift also announced her album, The Tortured Poets Department after securing her 13th Grammy win back in February.
