Madame Tussauds Hong Kong Adds Taylor Swift to Music Icons Zone

Madame Tussauds Hong Kong has added the country pop sensation, Taylor Swift to its star-studded Music Icons Zone.

As one of the world’s most popular and successful singer-songwriters, Swift made history at the 58th Grammy Awards as she became the first female singer to receive the Album of the Year award twice. She has also skyrocketed to fame in Asia and Hong Kong in recent years, and her social media fame has even earned her the nickname “Social Media Sweetheart”.

Swift first entered the music industry when she was 14 years old. Fuelled by her creative talent and hard work, she successfully launched her debut album in 2006. Her distinct country pop musical style quickly captured the hearts of many and also brought her numerous accolades, including 10 Grammy Awards, 22 Billboard Music Awards and 11 Country Music Association Awards, just to name a few.

Now a red-hot country pop sensation, Swift once remarked that music has always been her emotional safe haven. It is for this very reason that she has long supported the development of the music industry and advocated artists’ rights. In 2014, Swift took action to emphasise that music streaming service providers should provide royalties to songwriters. This move caused a stir and eventually improved some music service providers’ attitude towards songwriters. Swift is also highly active on social media, and true to her sociable and down-to-earth persona, often interacts with fans and shares snapshots of her celebrity friendships in this space.

Presenting Swift in the most dazzling and energetic fashion possible, the extremely lifelike wax figure was created with reference to the aquamarine blue outfit worn by her in a television show. With one hand on the acoustic guitar, Swift’s identity as a singer-songwriter couldn’t be more apparent.

To celebrate the arrival of Taylor Swift, Madame Tussauds Hong Kong has launched the Taylor Swift 1989 Promotion. Until 17 March 2016, those who were born in 1989 – the same year as Swift – can meet this young celebrity’s waxwork by purchasing one admission ticket at a special price of HK$ 89 from the official website of Madame Tussauds Hong Kong.
