Did I Shave My Legs for This? is the debut studio album by American country music artist Deana Carter, released via Patriot Records in the United Kingdom on February 27, 1995. Two singles were released from the album in the UK, "Angel Without a Prayer" and "Are You Coming Home Today?", which charted at numbers 100 and 93 respectively on the UK Singles Chart.
In 1996, Capitol Records had Carter record new material for the North American release of the album, which retained only three songs from the original release. This version features her breakthrough debut single "Strawberry Wine", a number-one hit on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart at the end of that year. "We Danced Anyway", "Count Me In", and the title track were also released as a singles. Of these, "We Danced Anyway" and the promotional single "How Do I Get There" also reached number one.
In honor of the 25th anniversary of the album, a remastered edition was released on November 5, 2021. The re-issue includes re-recordings of the title-track and "Strawberry Wine", featuring guest appearances from Lauren Alaina, Ashley McBryde, Vince Gill, Terri Clark, Sara Evans and Martina McBride.
