Taylor Swift loves the No. 13, and not just because it’s lucky—she also was born on Dec. 13 in 1989, the year that inspired the name of her new album. Because the “Blank Space” singer turns an iconic age Saturday—Taylor Swift is now a quarter-century old even if she’s feeling 22—TIME went through her Instagram to find her most iconic snapshots, from award shows and arena shows to quiet moments of down time.
Considering all the famous friends who show up in her Instagram—Ed Sheeran, Lorde, Ariana Grande—she’ll no doubt celebrate her birthday in “Style.”
