In one of the most heartbreaking turns of this new year, Taylor Swift will no longer be keeping commuters company in Castlefield, Manchester. Comedian Red Redmond, the owner of the infamous cardboard cut-out of the pop singer which has been sitting in their window for years, and has since become a staple of Manchester’s tram system, is moving out, and there is no telling yet what will happen to the artifact.
The official Twitter account for Greater Manchester’s Transports reacted to Redmond’s announcement with the appropriate Taylor Swift song reference, calling the cut-out “a Metrolink icon.”
