3. Country Pop Sensation Taylor Swift Officially Joins Madame Tussauds Hong Kong

 

Home to over 100 wax figures sculpted in the likeness of celebrities from around the world, Madame Tussauds Hong Kong welcomed another member to its star-studded Music Icons Zone – Taylor Swift, country pop sensation who has taken the world by storm. As one of the world's most popular and successful "post-80s" 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 also skyrocketed to fame in Asia and Hong Kong in recent years. 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. The addition of this young singer, who is recognised not only for her talent but also her positive attitude, promises to boost the star power of Madame Tussauds Hong Kong. The Music Icons Zone will soon unveil its brand-new DIVAS themed area which, in addition to Swift, is a refreshing showcase of three other legendary female singers including the revered queen of music Madonna; iconic singer and fashion queen Lady Gaga and pop sensation G.E.M.
