Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeran have both been immortalized in wax at the Panopticum Museum in Hamburg, Germany, but the reception of their figures has been mixed.

Fans have taken to social media to share their opinions, with one writing on X, “They look so off, I’m crying,” while another humorously remarked, “When your mom says you have Ed Sheeran and Taylor Swift at home.”

Some fans expressed concerns about Ed’s figure, suggesting it looks like “his legs don’t work like they used to.” Others were disappointed with Taylor’s likeness, with one commenter exclaiming, “OMG, they did her so dirty!” Despite the criticism, there were also fans who praised the wax figures, with one stating, “Honestly, really good renditions; Taylor’s looks great.” Another fan added, “I bet the figures are super realistic and a must-see for any Swifties or Sheerios visiting the museum.”

The Panopticum Museum, the oldest wax museum in Germany, expressed excitement over welcoming their new celebrity residents. In a press release, they stated, “We are welcoming an absolute superstar to the Panopticum.” Dr. Suzanne Farber, the museum’s managing director, noted that August 13th is a significant date, as it holds special meaning for Taylor Swift and her fans, the Swifties.

Ed Sheeran’s wax figure is particularly noteworthy as it marks the first created by sculptor Lisa Berer and her team, who spent two years working on the project. Berer described the experience as a challenge, especially due to Ed’s numerous tattoos, which added complexity and time to the sculpture.

Overall, while the figures have sparked a variety of reactions, they certainly provide a unique fan experience at the museum, allowing visitors to engage with their favorite stars in a new way.
