Manchester's original ‘Tram Taylor’ cardboard cut-out is to be auctioned off

Manchester's original 'Tram Taylor' - a life-size cardboard cut-out of pop sensation Taylor Swift is to be sold at auction, with proceeds donated to charity.

The cardboard figure has been a fond and familiar sight to thousands travelling through Cornbrook on the Metrolink for six years, but its future was thrown into jeopardy last year when the tenant of the apartment, comedian Red Redmond, announced they were moving to Sheffield.

The post sparked outcry on social media, with fans tweeting their desperation at seeing the lifesize cut-out saved. However, their prayers were shortly answered after the apartment appeared up for rent online, stating that those hoping to make it their new pad would need to be willing to cohabit with the famous face.
