Jennifer Aniston is undoubtedly one of the most inspiring superstars in the entertainment industry. She broke into mainstream stardom with her charming and relatable role of Rachel Green. But unlike countless other sitcom actors, she went beyond her television persona and made a successful movie career. In the past decades, the actress has given many memorable performances and worked with many big names in the industry.

Despite cementing her name among the best talents and molding her fate according to her passion, the Emmy winner believes in superstition. About one decade back, she revealed the reason behind this thing she always does.

Back in 2015, the Daily Mail revealed Jennifer Aniston’s belief in one of the superstitions. It turned out she had a pre-flight ritual she followed before traveling. “If I walk onto an airplane, I always have to go on with my right foot first and tap the outside of the plane,” reported the outlet. The American star also told them she always does it for good luck.

Speaking of planes and Aniston, while in Friends, she got off her flight to go back to Ross, in reality, she once encountered a deadly situation. Back in 2019, she shared on Jimmy Kimmel Live how the wheel of her plane busted leading to an emergency landing. While she reached back home safely, her phobia of planes and superstition still stayed. However, the 54-year-old was certainly not the only superstar who had faith in certain superstitions.

Fans have often seen Taylor Swift with the number 13 drawn in her hand. To some, that number might symbolize bad luck, but for Swift, it has always been associated with positive outcomes. In 2009, the Grammy winner told MTV about her love for the number 13. She credited it with various successes in her astounding career. The ‘Bad Blood’ singer paints it in her hand whenever she steps on the stage or starts something new in her life.

“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,” she explained. For some, it might be a coincidence, but the musician believes it has worked for her over the years. Apart from sharing the People of the Year title in 2019 with Michelle Obama, both Aniston and Swift indeed have superstitions, a common thing in them as well.
