LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — Are you Ready For It?
A new wax figure is coming to Las Vegas’ Madame Tussauds, located in The Venetian, but it’s not alone. The new figure is one of 13 brand-new Taylor Swift wax figures launching in 13 cities across four continents.
Each figure is dressed in fan-favorite looks from Swift’s record-breaking The Eras Tour.
“Taylor Swift is a generational icon and a cultural powerhouse. Madame Tussauds has a centuries-old legacy of holding a mirror up to the world of fame, immortalizing the profiles that are making an imprint on the day’s culture. Taylor Swift’s influence spans music, fashion, film, activism, and even the economy,” Laura Sheard, Global Brand Director at Madame Tussauds, said.
The one coming to Las Vegas is based on Swift’s “Fearless” album, dressed to the nines in a recreation of her gold-fringed Roberto Cavalli mini-dress, paired with crystallized Christian Louboutin knee-high boots, which were donated by the fashion house, and a matching gold-to-black glittered bespoke Rebel microphone.
The simultaneous multi-figure launch is the most ambitious in the company’s 250-year history, according to a release. Previously, Madame Tussauds had unveiled seven Harry Styles figures in 2023 and 8 Lady Gaga figures in 2011.
A team of more than 40 artists worked for 14 months on the project to create 13 different looks for each figure.
“The phenomenal success of her record-smashing tour is the perfect moment for Madame Tussauds to immortalize with 13 figures – Taylor’s lucky number – across four continents to ensure we’re reaching as many fans as possible. We just know they are going to love it as much as we do.”
Across America, Taylor Swift figures will also be joining Madame Tussauds locations in Hollywood (in a “Speak Now” dress), New York (in a “Midnights” outfit), Orlando (in the “Reputation” catsuit), and Nashville (in an “Evermore” dress).
Other figures will appear in Amsterdam, Berlin, Blackpool, Budapest, Hong Kong, London, and Sydney. The 13th figure will be touring, kicking off its residency in Shanghai.
