Madame Tussauds Orlando gets 1 of 13 new Taylor Swift figures

Madame Tussauds has created 13 new Taylor Swift wax figures for installation in attractions around the globe, including the Icon Park location on Orlando’s International Drive.

The looks are tied to Swift’s global Eras Tour, which had 149 sell-out dates. In Orlando, the Swift figure is outfitted in a black sequinned Roberto Cavalli catsuit, which has red snake embellishments, plus black boots. It also sports a matching Rebel microphone. It represents the “reputation” era.

Tussauds says the multi-figure introduction is the most ambitious in its 250-year history. It released eight Lady Gaga figures in 2011 and seven Harry Styles figures in 2023. More than 40 artists worked on the figures for 14 months.

“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 in a news release.

A Swift figure previously appeared in Madame Tussauds Orlando with a guitar and wearing black shorts and a sheer top. Among the other singers represented in the Orlando attraction are Beyonce, Bad Bunny, Dua Lipa and Rihanna.
