Followers applauded Julia Michaels on social media in 2020 after noticing her underarm hair in her new music video for “Lie Like This.” The singer tweeted a couple of months in the past that she was going to stop shaving her armpits for good: “Actually, I am not shaving my armpits ever once more. I do not know why I ever did earlier than. Social norms can eat an eggplant.”
“There’s one thing actually liberating about doing the issues that folks let you know to not do . . . If it is one thing so simple as rising my armpit hair out, I am down for it.”
She later defined to POPSUGAR the rationale behind her resolution: “I had taken a visit with a few of my buddies and [my underarm hair] had began to develop out, and after I shaved it, I did not really feel like myself; it was actually unusual,” Michaels stated. “There’s one thing actually liberating about doing the issues that folks let you know to not do, and I get a kick out of that. If it is one thing so simple as rising my armpit hair out, I am down for it. You would be stunned at what number of males touch upon my social media nonetheless being like ‘That is disgusting. You must shave it,’ and it is like, why do you are feeling like you possibly can touch upon my physique?”
