Shania Twain has officially joined the Barbie Universe, as revealed in a humorous video shared on Instagram. In the video, Twain was presented with her one-of-a-kind Barbie doll for the first time, dressed in her iconic 'Man! I Feel Like A Woman' outfit. After a moment of excitement, Twain gave her approval with a simple 'Approved'.
The video paid homage to a scene in the Oscar-nominated movie Barbie, where a character exclaims 'sublime' in excitement. This moment was a collaborative effort between actor Ryan Gosling and director Greta Gerwig.
Twain was one of eight celebrities honored with their own Barbie dolls in celebration of International Women’s Day and Barbie's 65th anniversary. Other honorees included Viola Davis, Helen Mirren, Kylie Minogue, and more.
In a separate post, Twain expressed her gratitude for being recognized as a Barbie role model and having her own doll. She emphasized her lifelong goal of empowering women through her music and storytelling.
The Barbie movie, released in July 2023, has received critical acclaim and multiple Oscar nominations. Gosling is set to perform one of the nominated songs at the upcoming awards show.
