These figures left many fans with bad blood!
The Panoptikum Wax Museum in Hamburg, Germany, is currently in the spotlight among Swifties, but not for the reasons they’d hope. Recently, the museum unveiled wax statues of Taylor Swift and fellow pop icon Ed Sheeran. However, fans of the Grammy-winning artist were far from impressed with Swift’s wax figure. Despite being housed in the oldest and largest wax museum in Germany, which features over 120 statues of various celebrities and famous figures, the depiction of Taylor Swift has sparked a wave of criticism and disappointment among her fans.
The wax figure of Taylor Swift at the Panoptikum Wax Museum is dressed in an outfit resembling her 2019 iHeartRadio Music Awards romper, but it has drawn mixed reactions from fans. One Twitter user quipped, “That’s not Taylor, that’s Tayla,” while another joked, “Baby, this is an art teacher from Minnesota.”
While the statue may look slightly off, especially compared to the real Taylor, it’s not drastically different from other celebrity wax sculptures. However, I agree that the figure could use some adjustments to better capture her likeness. Wax figures are notoriously tricky to get right, and even small inaccuracies can lead to a statue missing the mark, especially for someone as iconic as Taylor Swift.
