Taylor Swift sat down for her first interview in years this week, and chatted to beloved talk show host Ellen DeGeneres about literally everything! Asking her the most random questions ever during her Burning Questions segment, Ellen also discussed Taylor's new upcoming album - which will be her seventh studio album.
But during the chat, Ellen asked Taylor whether or not she washes her legs in the shower - and her answer has sparked a serious debate amongst fans on Twitter.
Taylor answered the question, "I do, cause when you shave your legs, the shaving cream is like soap, right?" adding that she shaves her legs every single day in the shower which also caused shockwaves.
Although Ellen appeared to agree with Taylor that, if she's shaving her legs every day, they're getting a good clean, many fans were not happy with the outcome, and took to Twitter to debate the situation.

2014 - Age 24
A little bit of a more cheeky side to Taylor as so arrived in a very short long sleeved jumpsuit to the 2014 MTV Music Awards.
2006 - Age 16
Country Singer/Songwriter rocking the country boots and blonde ringlets at the 41st Annual Academy of Country Music Awards.
2006 - Age 16
With a full head of curls and guitar in hand, this young faced Taylor is the face the world was introduced to.
2007 - Age 17
Taylor ditches the boots for a minute for a strapless mid length sequined dress for the CMT music awards, receiving the award for 'Breakthrough Video of the Year' .
2007 - Age 17
Pretty certain that under that extra long mint green train, are those brown country boots T-Swift loves so much.
2007 - Age 17
After glamming out her country boots - with Taylor and Swift printed in red love hearts on each boot - Taylor is really going for it out on stage. Least we know whose boots they belong to if they were lost back stage!
2007 - Age 17
Arriving at the 2007 American Music Awards on the Red Carpet in a LBD and country boots; wouldn't expect anything less from the rising star.
2008 - Age 18
It's blonde curls as usual for the country star, with maybe just a bit too much blue eyeshadow with that halter neck purple mini dress. Fear not, things will soon be changing.
2008 - Age 18
Looking super cute at the MTV's Total Request Live in '08
2008 - Age 18
Taylor definitely looks like she belongs on stage! Running up and down stage in her country boots and long curls, this has become the starlets trademark i'd say.
2008 - Age 18
As she walks up to collect yet another music award, T doesn't look so young anymore with her hair pinned back and a beautiful drop down strapless gown.
2008 - Age 19
The boots will always be simply 'so Taylor', but the elbow length finger less leather gloves? Not to sure about this look.
2009 - Age 19
With her crazy curly hair slowly fading out, and her country boots being swapped out for a more 'formal' boot, T is growing super fast and we are loving her even more.
2009 - Age 19
Oh wow, what a blast from the past. Miley and Taylor performing together on stage. Who would have thought things would be so different now!
2009 - Age 19
This backless black, floor length gown and a simple pinned back hairstyle sure got people talking about this small town country singer as she arrived at the 2009 Grammy Awards.
2010 - Age 20
By 2010, the country boots are well and truly done and in the back cupboard and those long long legs are walking up red carpet after red carpet.
2010 - Age 20
This thin strapped tasseled silver dress looks absolutely stunning on Taylor. Still showing off those famous ringlets, T lets loose just enough curls to fill her neckline.
2010 - Age 20
Oh, and that time when Katty and Taylor were actually BBFLs...
2010 - Age 20
Looking absolutely gorgeous as she arrived on the Red Carpet to the 2010 Grammy's, T forgot to bring an extra large clutch to take home all those Grammy's she won that night.
2011 - Age 21
At 21 Tay-Tay looks stunning and its the start of the blonde bombshell and her infamous red lips.
2011 - Age 21
T brings her boots out for a dance around stage. This brings back flashbacks of her younger days with her curls let loose.
2011 - Age 21
Tay looks so proud here and deservedly so. However, she's still missing that extra large clutch... think she'd learn from last year.
2012 - Age 22
Taylor keeps turning heads at the Grammy's, and in 2012 she arrived in a gold open back high neck dress, looking like a true Hollywood Star. Yet another Grammy that T leaves with her hands full.
2012 - Age 22
With the curls just about gone, Tay is just about all grown up, and no wonder she's a hit with the guys (until she has a hit single about them). She is one hell of a Stunner!
2012 - Age 22
A huge tick of approval for this dress! This red free flowing dress with lace top was sure to be the right choice for when T had to go up and collect another award at the 2012 Billboard Music Awards.
2012 - Age 22
Taylor looks like a true business woman as she arrives to the MTV Music Awards in 2012, strutting down in a white on white pants suit, and of corse, finished with the perfect red lips!
2012 - Age 22
If you are a true T-Swift fan, you would know that this was The Look for her RED album! With legs that long, why would you show them off!
2012 - Age 22
This super casual look from Tay Tay is finished off in true Taylor style with red lips an nails, right down to the red points on her flats.
2012 - Age 23
Taylor has come a long way since performing at the New Years Eve party in '08! Swapping out the leather gloves for the leather pants. Good trade Swift!
2013 - Age 23
Taylor just has a way of making such simple dresses look jaw-dropping. Arriving at the Peoples Choice Awards in '13, she was sure to add a pop of color with a pair of turquoise drop earrings.
2013 - Age 23
Seven years on, and Tay has become an absolute natural on the Red Carpet. This long sleeve v-neck dress just pairs so well with her golden locks.
2013 - Age 23
No luck was needed for Taylor as she arrived on the Red Carpet for the 2013 Grammy Awards. She was ready to wow the crowd again as she collected her award in this split full length dress.
2014 - Age 24
Loving this LBD! Perfect a pre-gala event where the drinks were sure to be flowing. With a low pony tail and statement earrings, Tay sure looked fab!
2014 - Age 24
Taylor sure looked dazzling in this bronzed chain-like dress. Just one thing, were can we get ourselves a pair of those killer heels?!
2014 - Age 24
And then we said goodbye to those county girl curls, and hello to what will soon become the New Taylor. LOVING the change!
2014 - Age 24
Showing off abs in this two piece, all eyes were on Taylor for sure!
2014 - Age 24
And on her 'days off', Taylor went a little retro/vintage and does it oh-so well!!
2014 - Age 24
Sometimes pastels can be tricky, but this colour comb is a massive hit!

Although a lot of fans agreed with the 'ME!' singer, many were convinced that shaving gel/foam does not have cleaning properties and does therefore not act like soap.
One wrote, 'Taylor Swift said 'shaving cream is basically soap' so as long as she shaves her legs, she doesn't need to wash them in the shower. No, no, no, no no, no...' and another added, 'If you aren't washing your legs what ARE you washing cause you're missing half your body if you don't wash your legs.'
But that wasn't the only issue that left fans scratching their heads, as many questioned Taylor's choice to shave her legs every day. One wrote, ' Taylor swift shaves her legs everyday.... Girl, what?! Who does that??? That sounds exhausting.'
