Everyone's different when it comes to personal hygiene, with some preferring to shower first thing in the morning to set them up nicely for the day, while others have a good scrub just before going to bed so they're nice and clean for nighttime.
Some people make sure they brush their teeth before eating, but others wait until after to get some minty fresh breath.
And don't even get us started on how regularly we're all shaving our legs...
And it seems that celebrities are of no exception - including a certain global superstar, Taylor Swift, who refuses to wash one part of her body when showering.

We already know that a number of Hollywood's finest have some pretty questionable grooming styles, from James Corden’s showering habit that experts say you should definitely not follow and Kate Hudson and Matthew McConaughey’s controversial hygiene habit to, of course, Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis' bizarre rules when it comes to washing themselves.
It seems however that the Eras Tour star's shower routine has created quite the divide among fans, with some branding it downright grim, while others reckon she has a fair enough reason.
It all started a few years back in 2019, when the 'Cruel Summer' singer sat down for an interview on the The Ellen Show where host, Ellen DeGeneres, asked her the simple yet slightly odd question: "Do you wash your legs in the shower?"
Taylor then revealed that she does - but only when she shaves her legs.
"I do, because when you shave your legs, the shaving cream is like soap, right?"
The talk show host then agreed: "Yeah, it is. I think that's the reason that most women wash their legs - because we have to, because we shave our legs."
A relieved Taylor continued: "So that counts? Good. I’m on the right side of history, then."
Ellen piped up: "Unless you're not shaving... then you're not washing."
"No... I don't think I would say that," the pop icon hit back, to which Ellen replied: "It seems like you did just say it!"
Taylor explained: "But, I kind of always shave my legs," to which Ellen ended the whole ordeal with some much-needed comic relied: "God, you must be hairy!"
Fans couldn't wait to voice their reactions on social media, with one X user writing: "How the hell do u not wash ur legs in the shower??? Huh?? U just stop after ur butt and that’s it??"
Another added: "Taylor Swift said she don’t wash her legs but she shaves them girl that is not the same thing wtf."
Someone else commented: "I'm confused isn’t the shower supposed to be the place where you wash EVERYTHING?!"
And a final user echoed: "What do you mean does she wash her legs?? Don’t you wash your legs when you shower? Like, washing your legs is part of showering. Is it not to some people?"
