According to Madame Tussauds, the project took over 14 months to complete, involving a team of more than 40 expert artists. The museum has previously rolled out seven wax figures for Harry Styles in 2023 and eight for Lady Gaga in 2011, but Taylor’s 13 statues set a whole new bar.

The global launch extends to Amsterdam; Berlin; Blackpool, England; Budapest, Hungary; Hong Kong; London; Sydney; and Shanghai.
