Taylor Swift gave explanation for why she doesn’t wash specific body part when showering

It's no doubt that Taylor Swift has one of the biggest fanbases of all time.

The 35-year-old 'Cruel Summer' singer, who is set to support her boyfriend Travis Kelce while the Kansas City Chiefs take on the Philadelphia Eagles at the Super Bowl this Sunday (9 February), clearly has her own routine when it comes to personal hygiene after once opening up about the reason why she doesn’t wash one specific body part when showering.

Now, we already know that a number of Hollywood's finest have some pretty questionable grooming styles, including James Corden’s showering habit that experts say you should definitely not follow, Kate Hudson and Matthew McConaughey’s controversial hygiene habit which is apparently super bad for you according to a doctor and, of course, Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis' bizarre rules when it comes to washing.

But, it seems the Eras Tour star's shower routine has created quite the divide amidst fans, with some branding it downright grim, while others reckoned she had a fair enough reason.

It all started a few years back in 2019, when Taylor 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 chirped: "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 comedy: "God, you must be hairy!"

Fans couldn't wait to share their reactions to the exchange 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?"
