Madame Tussauds Ariana Grande Statue Is One More, One More Problem For Some Fans

An Ariana Grande statue recently presented at Madame Tussauds in Sydney, Australia, is hitting the wrong notes with diehard fans.

The internet quickly caught wind of the pop star’s waxy doppelganger, and let’s just say it didn’t exactly go viral for the right reasons, as accusations of a less-than-stellar likeness flew across the internet.

While some visitors appreciated the museum’s effort, many admirers of the Thank U, Next singer were left feeling that the model missed the mark in embodying her distinct appearance.

Adriana Venti, is that you?

Comments ranged from humorous jibes to outright disappointment, with one fan quipping, “Adriana Venti, is that you?” and another asking, “Is Ariana Grande in the room with us?”

More scathing critics suggested that the figure was so off-key it might be better off melted down into a candle, with one suggesting, “Someone tell Madame Tussauds it’s time to find another hobby,” and another dryly remarking, “Keep it veiled,” in response to the artwork’s unveiling.

This isn’t the first time Madame Tussauds museums have faced the music over their renditions of Ariana Grande. Previous attempts at waxing lyrical about the singer have also been met with a medley of reactions from her fanbase.
