On Red's opening track, "State of Grace," Taylor Swift sang, "We learn to live with the pain, mosaic broken hearts."

And now there is a 8'4" x 12'7" mosaic of her face made out of Lego bricks at Legoland Windsor in the UK. Maybe there weren't enough bricks to recreate Swift's troubled heart.

Legoland polled visitors on which celebrity they would most want as a best friend in order to determine the subject of the portrait, and Swift won by a landslide. Swift's real-life friend Ed Sheeran did not make the cut.

Park visitors pieced together the mosaic themselves based on a template provided by Master Lego Model Makers, which is a great job title. The portrait took 35,840 Lego bricks and two days to complete, according to Legoland Windsor's Facebook page.

Pink, crimson, orange white and maroon bricks make up "that red lip classic thing that you like" while orange, grays, blues and browns all help create the image of Swift's signature blonde curls.

So if you're not one of the lucky many in T.Swift's BFF crew, now you know how to make your own Taylor to listen to you talk about your breakup.
