Taylor Swift gets waxed

Singer Taylor Swift has been immortalised in wax at Madame Tussaud's in New York.

The singer, who unveiled the waxwork, was pleased with her double.

Swift said: "I think that the face looks a lot like me and this is so crazy that they have my show dress and my exact replica of my guitar. This is wonderful, I'm really thankful."

The 20 year-old recently confessed that she was first drawn to music as she was lonely. The singer reportedly said: "I turned to songwriting because I didn't have anybody else to talk to."

Her Grammy award-winning album Fearless was the biggest selling record of 2009, and her latest album, Speak Now, has received rave reviews.
