According to Billboard, the 'Proud Mary' singer said in a statement that she is "honoured to welcome [her] Barbie into the group of trailblazing women already represented and introduce more kids to [her] journey”.

Turner's new Barbie doll recreates the singer's outfit she wore in her 'What's Love Got To Do With It' music video - a mini dress and denim jacket.
