TAS Rights ManagementTaylor Swift‘s weekend show at Dublin’s Croke Park was one for the record books.

As Taylor told the crowd, she’s one of only four female performers ever to perform at the Irish venue, which holds 82,000 people.  But most importantly, she’s the only female performer ever to play there for two nights.

The other three women who’ve headlined the massive venue are Celine Dion, Beyoncé and Tina Turner.

Also notable about Taylor’s Saturday show: It was the 13th date of the Reputation tour, so she performed a ritual that, according to her, she hadn’t done since 2009 — she had a #13 drawn on her hand before the show.

Taylor posted an Instagram video showing her mom Andrea drawing the 13 — which is, of course, Taylor’s lucky number — on her hand, with the caption, “13th show so I had to bring it back.” 

In the video, as Andrea carefully colors in the numbers, as Taylor says, “My mom is the only person who’s ever been entrusted to draw on my 13.  She hasn’t done it since, I think, mid-2009?” 

Then addressing her mom, Taylor jokes, “So, considering the time you’ve taken away from the craft, you’ve really just jumped back in and [are] excelling!”

Andrea looks up and smiles, “I did it!”
