1989 X Blue Iguana

*Please note that as each piece is handcrafted, there will be slight variations in the pieces. 

This piece is inspired by Taylor Swift's 1989 Album & the Blue Iguana. 

The Blue Iguana, scientifically known as Cyclura lewisi, is a captivating reptile native to the Grand Cayman Island in the Caribbean. Named for its striking blue-gray coloration, this iconic lizard species faces imminent danger of extinction due to a combination of factors. Habitat loss and degradation resulting from urban development, agriculture, and invasive species have severely diminished suitable habitats for the Blue Iguana. Additionally, the introduction of predators such as feral cats and dogs poses a significant threat to their survival, as these predators prey on both adults and juveniles. Illegal hunting and collection for the pet trade further exacerbate their decline.

Conservation efforts, including habitat restoration, captive breeding programs, and community education initiatives, are underway to save the Blue Iguana from extinction. However, urgent action is needed to address the multiple threats facing this charismatic reptile and ensure its long-term survival in the wild.

Taylor Swift's "1989" album, released in 2014, marks a bold departure from her country roots, embracing a full-fledged pop sound. Named after her birth year, the album is a vibrant homage to the synth-pop and dance-pop era of the 1980s. With "1989," Swift not only solidified her status as a powerhouse pop star but also demonstrated her ability to reinvent herself while staying true to her authentic voice. The album's commercial success and critical acclaim further cemented Swift's influence in the music industry, earning her numerous awards and accolades, including the Grammy Award for Album of the Year.
