The mystery surrounding Taylor Swift‘s belly button continues to intrigue Swifties across the globe. The singer has often tried to avoid showing her belly button in her shows, causing chatter among fans. It remains a legendary, albeit lighthearted, mystery that continues to bewilder the world of pop culture.

Here is all we know about Taylor Swift’s belly button controversy that swirled a storm on the internet.

Taylor Swift’s belly button has been a constant cause of drama since 2014 when she used to wear a crop top without showing her navel.

Over the years, fans have come up with a number of theories, with some even suggesting the singer may not have a belly button. Although Swifties have seen the entertainer’s belly button in several shows in recent years, it has become one of the most talked about things in pop culture.

According to USA Today, Swift said in an interview with Lucky Magazine in 2014 that she doesn’t like to show her belly button.

“When you start showing your belly button then you’re really committing to the midriff thing,” the pop icon said. “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. 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.” she continued. Swift further conveyed that she could be sporting a belly piercing or even have a tattoo around her belly.

According to Entertainment Tonight, the pop star’s wardrobe from 2014 included many crop tops. However, she made sure only her lower rib cage was visible.
