Taylor Swift Wax Figure Unveiled in Hamburg

The Panoptikum Museum in Hamburg has unveiled a new waxwork figure of Taylor Swift, which has elicited a mix of bewilderment and criticism from fans. The figure, dressed in a sequined outfit reminiscent of Swift's 2019 iHeartRadio Music Awards look and posing with her hands in a heart shape, has been called 'horrid' and 'a mess' by some observers, while others found it somewhat resembling the pop star. Social media users made various comparisons, even dubbing the figure 'Taylor Smith' and joking about inaccuracies, particularly with the hand gesture. Despite the backlash, the museum expressed excitement over adding Swift's figure, which will join others like Ed Sheeran and Queen Elizabeth II. Taylor Swift is currently on her Eras Tour, with sold-out shows in London planned following the cancellation of her Vienna concerts due to security concerns. London officials assured that they are prepared to host her concerts safely, learning lessons from past incidents.
