  "account": "On the 18th of June, Barbie paid tribute to the legendary Celine Dion by releasing a signature doll in her likeness. The doll captures Dion's iconic navy, long-sleeved dress from her performance of \"My Heart Will Go On\" at the 1998 Academy Awards. The blue necklace and silver earrings worn by the doll mirror the Heart of the Ocean necklace and silver earrings Dion donned during her performance. In an official statement, Dion expressed her delight at joining the Barbie legacy, stating that it is a true honor to be immortalized in a doll that represents a significant moment in her career. She hopes the doll will inspire others to express themselves with confidence, pursue their dreams, and trust in their unique voices. Celine Dion is the latest star to receive a Barbie doll, joining the likes of Mariah Carey and Tina Turner. With over 260 million albums sold worldwide and hits like \"My Heart Will Go On\" and \"Because You Loved Me,\" Dion is one of the most successful and decorated pop artists in history. In 2022, she revealed she had been diagnosed with stiff-person syndrome and took a break from performing. However, she recently returned to the stage for a series of 16 shows in Paris. The Barbie Signature Celine Dion Doll is now available for purchase.",
