Ahead of her four concerts in Sydney this week, a fresh mural featuring pop sensation Taylor Swift has emerged in the city. However, not everyone is enamored with the artwork.
Shared on an Instagram account, the picture drew swift criticism from commenters who pointed out its resemblance to either Donald Trump or a “MAFS wife” rather than the acclaimed ‘AntiHero’ singer. Positioned on Crown Street in Surry Hills, the mural has sparked diverse reactions.
Some observers noted similarities to Trump, citing features like the chin and nose. Others were more scathing, likening it to a scenario where a cat consumes a rainbow lorikeet and regurgitates it on the wall.
Despite the mixed reception, the painting, crafted by an anonymous artist, does have its admirers. One commenter praised its aesthetics despite not being familiar with Swift’s music, acknowledging her undeniable talent. Another hailed it as a tribute to the gifted artist.
While some lamented the deviation from the mural’s traditional purpose of fostering cultural discourse, others criticized it as a poor representation of Swift. Nonetheless, amidst the debate, Swift continues to draw massive crowds, recently playing to her largest audience yet at Melbourne’s MCG venue.

Expressing gratitude on social media, Swift thanked her Melbourne fans for an unforgettable experience. As her tour, already record-breaking in terms of revenue, progresses, Swift is poised to make history once more with four consecutive concerts at Sydney’s Accor Stadium later this week.
