- Taylor Swift moves to the Hamburg Panopticon as a wax figure

A Selfie with Taylor Swift? What was once reserved only for royals or other celebrities is now possible for every fan of the US singer: A new wax figure of the world star was unveiled at the Panoptikum on the Reeperbahn.

Blue glitter jumpsuit, silver shiny high boots, and hands shaped into a heart: That's how the singer greets her fans in the wax museum. It took Berlin-based artist Lisa Büscher seven months to work on the figure. "A particular challenge was designing her hands in the typical heart pose. Coordinating them to meet nicely in front was not easy," said Büscher.

"With almost 300 million followers on Instagram and the crazy hype she causes in every city, Taylor Swift definitely deserves a place in our Panoptikum," said managing director Susanne Faerber.

Taylor Swift is just one of many superstars in the tourist attraction on St. Pauli. Other wax figures include Adele, Udo Lindenberg, Robbie Williams - and Donald Trump.
