Wax Figure of the Music Superstar to be Unveiled at Madame Tussauds Washington, D.C. by a Lucky Group of Taylor’s Biggest Fans
Madame Tussauds Washington, D.C. today announced that Taylor Swift will be the next brand new, never-before-seen wax figure to join the attraction’s line-up of legendary cultural icons. The unveiling of the figure will take place at Madame Tussauds Washington, D.C. (1001 F Street, NW, corner of 10th & F Streets) on Tuesday, October 28th with the help of Taylor’s biggest fans.
“What better way to help Taylor’s fans celebrate her new album and continued success than by forever immortalizing her as one of today’s biggest pop superstars,” said Lauren Cottrell, Marketing Manager of Madame Tussauds D.C. “Taylor’s amazing accomplishments as an artist, along with her generous spirit and sparkling personality, make her a wonderful new addition to the Madame Tussauds D.C. family.”
For her original figure in 2010, Swift spent more than three hours with a team of Madame Tussauds studio artists, who traveled to Nashville to take hundreds of precise measurements and photos of the star. From the start, Swift was an enthusiastic participant in her figure’s creation, eagerly sharing her favorite styling and makeup tips to help perfectly recreate her signature look.
When her figure is unveiled later this month, Swift will join the likes of President Barack Obama, Beyoncé, Oprah Winfrey, Hillary Clinton and Katy Perry – all of whom have impeccable wax figures at Madame Tussauds, Washington, D.C.
Since bursting onto the scene in 2006, the now-24 year old Swift has become one of today’s most successful musical artists. She is a four-time Grammy Award winner and currently ranks 18th on Forbes’ most powerful celebrities list. In addition to her immense success as a country and pop singer, Swift is also admired for her philanthropy, including her generous support of numerous charities, including various education initiatives, The Nashville Symphony and the American Red Cross.
About The Author
Editor-in-Chief/Entertainment Reporter
I knew early on that I wanted to take my place among the stars. One day, my mother saw me reading The Washington Post at a very young age. Who would have known that it would be the building blocks of my journey? Since that day, I dedicated my life to learn all that is learnable. I read everything from encyclopedias, to books, to dictionaries, to magazines. I’m also an avid consumer of television, with my favorite genre being game shows. If you’ve seen me on Who Wants to be a Millionaire or Wheel of Fortune, then you know that this interest has served me well!
My unique style of reporting began back in junior high school, when I started to chronicle the events that shaped my life. Whether it was the annual family vacation or the local science fiction convention, I shot numerous pictures and recorded my thoughts so I could truly appreciate the history. During my senior year at Friendly High, I wrote what was to be my first masterpiece, “Advanced Space Academy – A One Week Journey.” I sent the eleven-page article back to the U.S. Space Camp staff. The article was highly praised for being “one of the best written articles in the history of U.S. Space Camp.” From then on, I knew what I wanted to do for rest of my life — to be a reporter.
Since then, I have trained in Broadcast Journalism at Bowie State University (2008) in Bowie, MD earning a B.S. in Communications. I gained experience in news production and editing through field experiences with Bowie Community Media Corporation, Prince George’s Community Television, and Bowie State University Television. I also wrote scripts for a variety of quiz shows for over five years.
As a lifelong movie buff, I now see close to 100 films every year. I took this love of movies to the next step when I became a co-host for Eclipse Magazine TV in the fall of 2005. While at EMTV, I interviewed celebrities, worked red carpets, and attended a wide variety of movie screenings. In January 2009, I took a leap of faith and started my own entertainment news magazine, The Rogers Revue. Shortly afterward, my life-long journey of studying the silver screen and writing about what I learned finally earned me a place in the Washington Area Film Critics Association.
All of this has led me here, giving you the latest entertainment news for the DMV and the entire nation, and I am truly excited for whatever will come next.
