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.

Elsewhere, a waxwork figure of Beyoncé, which was unveiled at the Grevin Museum in Paris two weeks ago, sparked outrage among fans who claimed she had been ‘whitewashed’ and like ‘anything but’ the singer.

The actor, 52, took to social media to reveal he would be contacting The Musée Grévin in Paris after the controversial waxwork under heavy criticism from fans.

It has joined the likes of Ryan Gosling, Angelina Jolie, and Christiano Ronaldo at the popular French museum, which is home to more than 500 famous figures.

The Texas Hold ‘Em singer’s wax self is wearing a busty sequin silver dress complete with a long cape and silver heels.

While the figure bears many glamorous similarities to the star, there has been a lot of backlash on social media about certain features, including the colour of her skin.

Outraged X (formerly Twitter) users penned: ‘So according to the Grevin Museum in Paris That’s Beyoncé’; ‘Well it’s not her’; ‘Ma’am that’s Jade from Little Mix’; ‘Beyoncé at the Grévin Museum, she’s white.’

It comes just nine months after Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson asked for ‘important changes’ to be made after his figure was displayed there in October 2023.

Dwayne and his fans have commented on the waxwork’s seemingly lighter skin tone, with the star telling how he will be asking for the skin color to be ‘updated’.

The Rock commented on his controversial figure shortly after it was revealed last year, by sharing an Instagram to poke fun at it.

On a more serious note, he added that he was going to reach out to the museum to have the artwork ‘updated’ with some ‘important details and improvements’.

The Jumanji star wrote: ‘I knew my boy @jamesjeffersonj had this Rock wax statue in his roasting crosshairs. Legit belly laughed at this.

‘For the record, I’m going to have my team reach out to our friends at Grevin Museum, in Paris France so we can work at “updating” my wax figure here with some important details and improvements – starting with my skin color.’

He concluded, ‘And next time I’m in Paris, I’ll stop in and have a drink with myself,’ adding a wink emoji.

The post, which received over 150,000 likes, saw fans express both their disappointment and confusion at the waxwork.

The Grévin Museum has since unveiled the updated figure, which is open to the public. The Rock is yet to comment on the changes.

A spokesperson for The Grévin Museum told MailOnline: ‘These criticisms are due to the photo taken by a flash photo press agency thus distorting the real skin color of the character who is absolutely not white.’
