Kylie Minogue’s track “Padam Padam” became a hit when it was released 2023, reaching No. 7 on Billboard‘s Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart and No. 1 on Dance/Mix Show Airplay.
The anthem-esque single and its funky dance-pop beat offered the Australian singer’s career a major boost, reinvigorating love for the artist all across the globe. Minogue has always held a major spot in the dance genre since her start in the 1980s with hits such as “The Loco-Motion” (1988), “Can’t Get You Out of My Head” (2002) and “I Believe in You” (2004).
“Padam Padam” also won Minogue a Grammy for best pop dance recording in 2024, solidifying her icon status. Speaking of icon status, Minogue was just given a signature Barbie doll inspired by the aforementioned track and her career. The Mattel creation is currently available for pre-order for $59.40 on Amazon and $54.97 at Walmart, and will officially launch on March 27.
Barbie Signature Doll Kylie Minogue
This is a posable doll from Mattel inspired by Minogue’s hit 2023 track “Padam Padam.” The single reached No. 1 on Billboard’s Dance/Mix Show Airplay chart and No. 7 on the Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart.
The doll is dressed in a bright red look, down to her dolly shoes, inspired by the star’s outfit in the music video. The look in question is a sleek Mugler bodysuit and lace-up Maison Ernest boots. The bodysuit is affixed with a billowing cape. The doll also features a coordinating bright lip and scarlet streaks in her hair to match the fiery red ensemble. This doll makes an amazing present and keepsake for fans of Minogue. It’s a unique offering that can be displayed beside her records to tie the collections together.
This isn’t the first time Mattel has crafted a doll for a musician. In the brand’s Signature Music Series, it released dolls modeled after Stevie Nicks, Mariah Carey, Elton John, David Bowie, Tina Turner, Cher, Aaliyah, Gloria Estefan and Elvis Presley. Every doll is created based on a certain era of the singer’s life, usually an important or historic moment in their careers. The gothic and witchy Nicks dolls that Mattel has released have done exceedingly well, selling out within hours of launching.
