The Panoptikum Wax Museum in Hamburg, Germany revealed their latest celebrity "masterpiece" on Monday (August 12), and let's just say... Swifties weren't impressed.

The venue, which is the oldest and largest wax museum in the country with more than 120 celebrity wax figures, unveiled a statuette of the 'Love Story' songstress, and she is seen donning a knockoff of the sequined 2019 iHeartRadio Music Awards romper.

The 34-year-old's figure is also holding her hands in a heart shape, a symbol that is well-known amongst her fans.

The museum's latest figurine was slammed by fans, especially the rowdy Swifties, who took to their social media to share their savage opinions.

One disgruntled user commented: "It’s not even close at this point I’m quite confident that they make this all on purpose," while another questioned: "Who is that cause it’s not Taylor."

"It looks like someone saw a pic of Tay once then described what they remembered to the sculptor," a third user suspected.

"FIRE WHO EVER DID THIS" a fourth user exclaimed, while one more pointed out that they didn’t "even get the hand heart right".

Ouch.

The 'Cruel Summer' singer's waxwork will join numerous other figures in the museum including replicas of Angelina Jolie, Queen Elizabeth II, Ed Sheeran, Karl Lagerfeld, and Henry VIII. 

Berlin artist Lisa Büscher has been carefully crafting the life-size model for seven months. "Achieving the perfect likeness is particularly challenging when it comes to a wrinkle-free, flawless beauty," she said in a statement, per Daily Mail.

"A particular challenge was designing her hands in the typical heart pose. Coordinating so that the hands meet well at the front was not easy," she continued, adding: "The same goes for the painting of the head. After all, a wax figure shouldn't look 'waxy.'"

The Grammy-winning artist is scheduled to perform at London's Wembley Stadium this weekend.

Her return to the stage comes after three of her Vienna concerts were canceled due to threats of planned terror attacks.
