A new waxwork figure of Taylor Swift was unveiled at the Panoptikum museum in Hamburg, Germany on Wednesday.
The life size figurine has been in the works for seven months, carefully crafted by Berlin artist Lisa Büscher.
Dressed in a blue, sequinned one-piece, similar to an outfit the songstress, 34, wore to the 2019 iHeartRadio Music Awards, her outfit is completed with knee-high boots.
Taylor is seen holding her hands in a heart shape, a symbol which is well known amongst her fans.
‘Achieving the perfect likeness is particularly challenging when it comes to a wrinkle-free, flawless beauty,’ said artist Lisa in a statement.

She added: ‘A particular challenge was designing her hands in the typical heart pose. Coordinating so that the hands meet well at the front was not easy
‘The same goes for the painting of the head. After all, a wax figure shouldn’t look ‘waxy.”
Panoptikum CEO Dr Susanne Faerber revealed the museum’s latest edition and posed for photos with the artist.
Taylor’s waxwork will join several other figures in the museum including replicas of Ed Sheeran Angelina Jolie, Queen Elizabeth II, Karl Lagerfeld and Henry VIII.
Ed was revealed last summer and bears a strong resemblance to the singer, complete with a guitar over his shoulder.
Last month, a Dublin museum promised to ‘do better’ and vowed to create a more accurate waxwork of Sinéad O’Connor – after their sculpture, which was unveiled to commemorate the one year anniversary of her death – was slammed by fans.
‘In response to the public’s feedback regarding the wax figure, we acknowledge that the current representation did not meet our high standards or the expectations of Sinéad’s devoted fans,’ a spokesperson for the National Wax Museum in Dublin said.
‘We have listened closely to the reactions and agree that the figure does not fully capture Sinéad’s unique presence and essence as we intended.’

They added that her impact on Ireland and the global music community ‘is immeasurable’, and their goal ‘has always been to honour her in the most fitting and respectful manner’.
‘With this in mind, we are committed to creating a new wax figure that better reflects Sinéad O’Connor’s true spirit and iconic image,’ they revealed.
‘Our team of skilled artists will begin this project immediately, ensuring that every detail is meticulously crafted to celebrate her legacy appropriately.
‘We extend our gratitude to everyone who provided their feedback and assure you that your voices are heard. We look forward to unveiling a new figure that truly honours Sinéad O’Connor and her extraordinary impact.
The legendary musician, who died on July 26, 2023, aged 56, was presented in a waxwork earlier today – but unimpressed visitors have taken to social media to hit out at the sculpture, stating that it looks like ‘they just found an old mannequin in a skip and said, yep that will do’.
Even more bizarrely, the work was placed next to Liam Neeson in character as Qui-Gon Jinn and Darth Vader – both in Star Wars regalia.
