Madame Tussauds - New York

Meet the "Fearless" Country Diva

Taylor Swift is the first female solo country artist to have written or co-written all the songs on her Platinum-selling debut. Her first album came out in 2006 when Taylor was just 16 years old. Her album has since sold over 3 million copies.

The costume worn by Taylor’s wax figure was kindly donated following a sitting with a team of Madame Tussaud’s artists who travelled from London to meet her in Nashville, Tennesse. Production of this figure took approximately 4 months, carefully replicating all the details. Taylor arranged for us to obtain one of her guitars, which was then customized. This guitar is made with Swarovski Elements.
