This uncanny Taylor Swift waxwork is haunting my brain

Waxworks are a divisive art form. When they're well executed they can be a marvel of human artistry – when they're not so good, they make for some fabulous laughable content. The Panoptikum Wax Museum in Hamburg recently unveiled its latest model of pop megastar Taylor Swift which left Swifties a little bemused, to say the least.

Sculpting in any form is a tricky art to master, whether it's digitally via tools like ZBrush or Blender, or with more traditional mediums such as wax. Capturing a celebrity's likeness adds the extra pressure of appealing to their fans, and with a ferocious fanbase like the Swifties in the mix, it was never going to be an easy task to impress the pop queen's loyal subjects.
