A giant Taylor Swift mural has been erected in Melbourne to commemorate the 'death of her career' in the wake of her row with Kanye West.

Fans are 'mourning' what they claim is the end of Swift's time in the spotlight after she became embroiled in a public spat with Kim Kardashian and West over the his new single, Famous.

The wall art features Swift’s giant face next to the epitaph: “In loving memory of Taylor Smith 1989-2016.”

It was created by Lushsux – the iconic graffiti artist behind the giant nude Kim Kardashian murals – who posted a video of the new wall art on Instagram.

The 30 second clip shows members of the public surrounding the mural as Sir Elton John’s single Candle in the Wind, plays over the top.

Lushsux captioned the video: “Please pay your respects at Hosier Lane today by laying flowers or lighting a candle in mourning, taken from us too soon sweet princess.”

Speaking to The Vine, Lushsux said the mural is “taking the p***, business as usual” and said creating the commemoration took “about as long as it took Kim and Kayne to wreck Taylor in a few Snapchats”.

But eagle eyed fans have spotted the misspelling of Swift’s last name. Speaking about the name change Lushsux said: “It just came out a bit chunky, I didn’t go to art school give me a break.”

Swift - who is currently in Australia with her boyfriend Tom Hiddleston - kickstarted a feud with the Kardashians after she denied that West asked her to approve the lyric “I made that b**** famous” before releasing the Life of Pablo track.

Kardashian hit back by posting a video of her husband on the phone with Swift which appeared to show the Blank Space singer granting permission.

Swift has since accused the pair of "character assassination" and claims she has been "falsely painted as a liar".
