Barbie honours Alicia Keys with a new doll that inspires women in music. Discover the special edition and where to get it before it sells out.

Did you know that only 22% of artists on music charts are women? In an effort to highlight women in the music industry, Barbie has announced its 2025 Career of the Year: ‘Women in Music,’ with a special tribute to Alicia Keys.

The Mattel team has introduced the ‘Barbie Women in Music Career of the Year’ set, featuring two key industry roles: ‘Musical Artist’ and ‘Tour Manager.’ These dolls aim to inspire new generations to explore careers both on stage and behind the scenes.

Alicia Keys and Ann Mincieli, a four-time GRAMMY-winning engineer and producer, have played a crucial role in this launch. Mincieli, known for her work on ‘The Diary of Alicia Keys’ and ‘Girl On Fire,’ represents the vital role of women in music production.

“The Barbie Musical Artist doll celebrates women who shine on stage by performing their own music,” Mattel stated.

Recently, Barbie released the Aaliyah doll, which sold out within hours. The Alicia Keys doll is available at Mattel Shop, Amazon, Target, and Mattel Creations.
