Missed the Eras Tour? Do not worry. Taylor Swift is now in Dublin permanently and she is looking absolutely incredible.
The National Wax Museum Plus on 22-25 Westmoreland Street has just unveiled a brand new, stunningly detailed wax figure of Taylor Swift, inspired by her record-breaking Eras Tour. It took nine months to create and the result is breathtaking. From the iconic Eras Tour outfit and those legendary boots, to her expression and stage presence, every single detail has been crafted to give fans the most authentic, immersive experience possible.
Two fans who attended the big reveal said it straight: “It’s really well done, the costume, the boots, it’s really well done. It looks like her, it definitely is Taylor Swift.”
Taylor Swift and Ireland: a love story
This is not just any celebrity wax figure. Taylor Swift has a genuinely special connection to Ireland and Dublin in particular, which makes her arrival at the National Wax Museum feel all the more fitting.
Both of Taylor’s parents are of Irish descent. Her mother Andrea’s family traces back to Derry, and her father Scott’s family has roots in Dublin. EPIC The Irish Emigration Museum has traced her ancestry back to Irish immigrants who emigrated to the United States in the 1830s, with a great-grandfather from Dublin itself.
She famously played three sold-out nights at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin in 2024 as part of the Eras Tour, speaking on stage about her love for Ireland. She is a known fan of Aran wool jumpers. And she has referenced Ireland in her lyrics more than once.
There is even a wonderful footnote: Taylor Swift shares her surname with Jonathan Swift, Ireland’s greatest literary figure and author of Gulliver’s Travels. The National Wax Museum Plus has a figure of Jonathan Swift too, making this the only place on earth where you can get a selfie with both Swifts in the same building.
Nine months in the making
Creating a wax figure at this level is a serious undertaking. The Taylor Swift figure was a nine-month project between the National Wax Museum Plus and a specialist wax artist, with every aspect of the design reviewed and refined to capture her likeness as precisely as possible.
Museum Director Paddy Dunning described Taylor Swift as a cultural phenomenon whose impact spans music, fashion, and storytelling. The figure was created as the centrepiece of the museum’s newly redesigned Hall of Fame, dedicated to contemporary global icons.
The result is a figure that does not just look like Taylor Swift. It captures her energy.
