Taylor Swift discusses why she doesn't use the shower to bathe a particular body part

 

The singer gave an important explanation for her decision to forgo washing a certain body part

When it comes to personal hygiene, everyone is different. Some people like to have a shower first thing in the morning to be ready for the day, while others give themselves a thorough cleaning right before bed to ensure they're tidy for the evening.

While some individuals make care to brush their teeth right before a meal, others like to wait until afterwards to enjoy that fresh, minty breath.

Not to mention the frequency with which we all shave our legs...

Celebrities don't seem to be an exception, either. One well-known worldwide star, Taylor Swift, for example, doesn't wash one area of her body in the shower.



Many of the best in Hollywood are already known to have somewhat dubious grooming habits. Examples include James Corden's showering habit, which is something experts advise against doing, Kate Hudson and Matthew McConaughey's contentious hygiene routine, and, of course, Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis' strange self-washing regulations.

However, it appears that the Eras Tour star's shower regimen has caused quite a rift among admirers; some call it gloomy, while others believe she has a good enough explanation.

It all began a few years ago in 2019 when the singer of "Cruel Summer" was asked the straightforward but slightly strange question, "Do you wash your legs in the shower?" by host Ellen DeGeneres during an interview on The Ellen Show.
Taylor went on to say that she does, but only after shaving her legs.

"I do, because when you shave your legs, the shaving cream is like soap, right?"



And the host of the chat show concurred: "Yeah, it is. I believe that's the main reason why most ladies wash their legs: we have to since we shave them."



Taylor went on, seeming relieved: "So that counts? Alright. So, I'm on the correct side of history.



"Unless you're not shaving... then you're not washing," Ellen said.



The pop icon shot back, "No... I don't think I would say that," to which Ellen said, "It seems like you did just say it!"

Taylor clarified, "But, I kind of always shave my legs," to which Ellen responded with a much-needed joke, "God, you must be hairy!" to cap off the entire affair.

Social media users were quick to share their opinions, with one X user writing: "How the hell do u not wash ur legs in the shower???" What? You simply stop after your butt, that's all?"



Another said, "Taylor Swift said she don’t wash her legs but she shaves them girl that is not the same thing wtf."

"I'm confused—isn't the shower supposed to be the place where you wash everything?," said another commenter.

"What do you mean does she wash her legs??" echoed the last user. When you take a shower, do you not wash your legs? Like, taking a shower includes washing your legs. To whom does it not apply?
