Taylor Swift is headed to outer space! Well, at least her music is.

On June 13th, Astronaut Timothy Kopra blasts off for the International Space Station, with Taylor's 'Fearless' CD on board. Kopra's daughter, Jacqueline, is a huge Taylor fan, so he reached out to the singer's label, Big Machine Records, with the idea to not only take Taylor's music to space, but to also bring Taylor back a gift in return: Kopra plans to take a picture of the album while at the space station to give to the singer.

The June 13 blastoff date is a bit ironic, as Taylor has recently opened up about the significance of the number 13 in her life. "I paint this on my hand before every show, because 13 is my lucky number," she explained recently of frequent drawings of the number on her hand. "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!"
