"I'm obsessed," said Cyrus. "Love her! All the details were so thoughtful and so important. Every little piece of this design was a dream, down to the shape of the shoe, the look, the leather jacket, the belt, the hair dimension, the sunglasses."
The singer said everything about the creation was "purposeful," including the detail on the doll's microphone.

"That was very important to me that music stays the priority for me and for my purpose, and so having this microphone is so representative of not just the music but using your voice," Cyrus explained.
The Grammy winner shared her Barbie collection in a video on Instagram and TikTok, capturing the moment she added her own doll to the line-up.
"Barbie represents a personal dream of mine. She's something I'll never outgrow as she evolves with me," wrote Cyrus in the caption.
