It's fair to say it's been a very busy week for Taylor Swift after she made a surprise announcement alongside her Kansas City Chiefs boyfriend, Travis Kelce.
In a teaser clip for tomorrow's episode (13 August) of Travis' New Heights podcast, Taylor shared the name of her 12th studio album, revealing its title to be The Life of a Showgirl.
The announcement of both the new album and her appearance on the podcast broke the internet as, according to verified Twitter account, Taylor Swift Charts+, the 13-second preview has 'garnered over 10 million views on social media in 30 minutes'.
While all this exciting new stuff is going on, it's clear that some fans are still stuck on one particular hygiene habit confession Taylor made years back, where she admitted that she sometimes doesn't wash one specific body part in the shower.

It all started a few years back in 2019, when the 'Cruel Summer' singer sat down for an interview on The Ellen Show.
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 comic relief: "God, you must be hairy!"
After catching light of Taylor's shower confession, many critics rushed to social media to slam the Grammy award-winning singer for her allegedly bizarre habit.

"How the hell do u not wash ur legs in the shower??? Huh?? U just stop after ur butt and that’s it??" slammed one Twitter user.
A second hit out: "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?"

Others, however, thought the outrage was a tad too extreme.
"Come on, this is so ridiculous. Leave her alone who cares what she does or doesn’t shower. Really, is this the best we have now in our world?" hit out one person.
A second chimed in: "This could say she has literally never showered in her entire life and it would change absolutely nothing in my life."
"She said she doesn’t wash her legs because she shaves them every day. To me that’s the same as washing. People are crazy with all this nonsense," defended another.
And a final fan outlined: "People have different levels of shower. She was talking about quick shower vs everything shower."
