Shania captioned the post, “Ladies and gentlemen… HER (heart emoji): I am honored to be recognized as a Barbie role model – I have my own one-of-a-kind Barbie doll!! Pinch me!! All I’ve wanted to do my whole life is tell stories of empowerment, independence, and self-expression through my songwriting; getting to do that and inspire women and girls along the way is the dream… everything else is a beautiful bonus! It means a lot to expand my responsibility as a role model into the Barbie world; thank you, @barbie and Mattel, for creating this reflection of me. I love her!! #Barbie #Barbie65.”

Shania On Gosling
Recently, Twain also weighed in on the Barbie Oscar buzz, particularly about Ryan Gosling, who received a Best Supporting Actor nomination for his portrayal of Ken. Gosling stood up for his coworkers, director/writer Greta Gerwig and producer/star Margot Robbie, saying they also should have been Oscar nominees. The two women weren’t nominated in their respective Best Director and Best Actress categories.
Gosling told People that “There is no Ken without Barbie.” He added, “There is no Barbie movie without Greta Gerwig and Margot Robbie, the two people most responsible for this history-making, globally celebrated film. No recognition would be possible for anyone on the film without their talent, grit, and genius.”
Shania posted his comments and a photo of the actor on her Insta Stories and wrote, quoting some of her own song lyrics, “So, you’re a Ken doll…that don’t impress me much. But of course, Ryan Gosling and America Ferrera do. Well said! Let’s go, Barbies!”
