Artist transforms giant pumpkin into stunning Taylor Swift lookalike

Just in time for Halloween, Ohio-based Jeanette Paras has made a model of Taylor Swift using a giant pumpkin.

It’s called the ‘Taylor Swiftkin’. It took ten hours to paint and weighs 399lb (181kg).

According to her website, Jeanette Paras has been painting enormous pumpkins to resemble celebrities for more than 30 years. She has painted well-known musicians and figures including Miley Cyrus, Ted Lasso, and even Baby Yoda. She made the incredible decision to try her hand at painting Swift this year. According to Us Weekly, the 180 kilogram pumpkin was painted by the Dublin, Ohio-based artist to imitate Swift’s gorgeous 2023 Grammy Awards appearance, which included her characteristic red lip, hanging earrings, a blonde wig, and a cat eye sharp enough to kill a man.

In a video uploaded to Instagram, Paras was shown draping the pumpkin in wigs to replicate Swift’s bangs and used sweet potatoes to act as her ears.

Paras has also included a nod to Swift’s romance with Kansas City Chiefs player Travis Kelce with a red bucket with his number 87 on its side – painted to look like a football.

“With so much going on in the news today, much of it disturbing, Taylor SwiftKin stood out. I considered ‘pumpkinizing’ others, but Taylor is a bright star in today’s pop culture,” Paras told US news station WCMH.

“And then, when she was romantically linked to two-time Super Bowl champion Travis Kelce, that certainly made her more interesting.”

Swift has yet to comment on the massive pumpkin.
