It’s hard out for a pop star these days to keep an air of mystery, considering constant pressure from fans coupled with the prevalence of social media and a general lack of privacy. Perhaps that’s why Taylor Swift clung to the strange idea she needed to make the public wonder whether or not she has a belly button in a rather perplexing interview with Lucky magazine in December.
“I don’t like showing my belly button. When you start showing your belly button then you’re really committing to the midriff thing. I only partially commit to the midriff thing — you’re only seeing lower rib cage. I don’t want people to know if I have one or not,” she told the magazine, apparently laughing. “I want that to be a mystery. As far as anyone knows based on my public appearances, they haven’t seen evidence of a belly button. It could be pierced. They have no idea. If I’m going to get some sort of massive tattoo, it’s going to be right next to my belly button because no one’s ever going to see that.”
