A huge Taylor Swift mural has popped up in Sydney ahead of the star’s arrival for her three shows, but the artwork has been lashed by locals, who say it looks more like Donald Trump or a MAFS contestant.

 

Taylor Swift mural appears in Surry Hills, lashed by locals...
The large portrait of Swift is on Crown Street in Surry Hills and portrays her wearing a red wrap dress, with her eyes angled downward.

Locals were not immediate fans of the piece, with unsolicited reviews pouring in online after the @sydney_explained Instagram page shared it online.

“What a terrible mural!” one man commented.

I am trying my best to not hate on all things Tay Tay, but this just takes the proverbial.”

Another person “thought it was Trump” due to the “chin and nose”, while someone else said it looked like a MAFS wife.

“It looks like my cat ate a rainbow lorikeet and then threw up on the wall,” a man wrote.

Many of the comments ranged from calling it “a little bit scary” to having “kinda done her dirty”.

However some were far more supportive.

“Did not expect the really negative comments here,” one woman commented

“A young woman who is incredibly successful and talented and tries to be kind to people.

“What is not to celebrate.”

Another woman congratulated the artist.

“What a beautiful mural to a talented young lady,” she wrote.
