Hey there, Swifties! Have you seen the latest tribute to Taylor Swift? The Hamburg Panoptikum has just revealed a new wax figure of the pop star, and fans are buzzing about it.
This wax Taylor is decked out in a dazzling blue sequined jumpsuit paired with shiny silver boots, striking her iconic heart-hand pose. Berlin artist Lisa Büscher took on the challenge of crafting this pose, saying it wasn’t an easy feat. “Making sure the hands met just right was quite tricky,” she explained. Now, this figure joins other celebrities like Adele and even Donald Trump, aiming to showcase the Grammy winner’s vibrant personality.

The timing of this reveal was spot on, coinciding with Swift’s lucky number, 13, making August 13 a memorable day for Germany’s oldest wax museum. Managing director Susanne Faerber said, “With almost 300 million Instagram followers and the massive excitement she brings everywhere, Taylor definitely deserves a spot in our Panoptikum.”
However, not all fans are thrilled. A post from the Daily Mail on X ignited a wave of mixed reactions from Swifties.
“Not a great likeness,” one commenter remarked. “She looks older…” another noted, while someone else cheekily said, “Masterpiece! 😂 They captured the Soros puppet vibe perfectly.”
The truth is, nailing Taylor’s essence in wax isn’t an easy task. Back in 2022, a fan account shared a collection of her previous wax figures, prompting reactions that ranged from funny to frightening.
“The more I look, the creepier it becomes,” one user said.
“This is a rough interpretation—what is this?!” another exclaimed.
One fan compared it to a scene from American Horror Story, saying, “It’s giving Lily Rabe possessed a doll vibes.”
With such varied feedback, it’s clear: when it comes to Taylor Swift, even wax figures can ignite quite the debate!
