Taylor Swift
The Taylor Swift celebrity doll portrays her as herself at twenty years old, a country pop singer-songwriter and actress. The doll was made in 2009 by Jakks Pacific under licensed from Taylor Swift Productions, Inc.. The doll is part of the Sing Along with Taylor Swift Performance Edition and plays the chorus of the song “Our Song” when you push a button on her stomach. Jakks currently makes four Taylor Swift singing dolls in the Performance Edition and another four non-singing in the Fashion Edition. Taylor Swift’s official website is www.TaylorSwift.com.

Taylor Swift
Even as a little girl, Taylor Swift had a passion for music. She loved putting on shows using her Pennsylvania living room as a stage, and her family as her audience. Soon, her performances moved out into the community and she sang everywhere she could: ball games, club meetings, and talent shows. At 11, Taylor learned to play guitar and write her own songs, working hard to achieve her dreams. Taylor eventually persuaded her family to move to Nashville, where she made a name for herself as a singer/songwriter. The rest is history!
Taylor’s first two albums Taylor Swift and Fearless have sold more than 10 million copies globally, and her songs top the country and pop charts.
TAYLOR SWIFT LOVES HER FANS!
Now you can experience the up-close experience of Taylor’s Style.
The doll comes wearing a light blue reproduction sleeveless gown that Swift wears sitting on the front porch in the video “Our Song”. It has blue plastic earrings, a necklace, and gray-silver high heel shoes. Accessories include a silver glitter stickered acoustic guitar with strap and a brush. Underneath her dress the doll is wrapped in paper as a slip to hold her legs together. In addition to the painted lipstick and eyes, the doll has white painted on underwear and a heart shaped tattoo on the left ankle (According to Anja Kanayla over at Quora, Swift doesn’t have a tattoo, but liked to draw a heart on her foot with a Sharpie in the fearless error). Jakks gave her two belly buttons; a molded innie belly button as well as a outtie button at her waist to play the song. There is no doll stand.
The dolls knees bend and the legs can move apart so it does the splits. The arms don’t bend but elbows are jointed to twist so the hand can flip over. The neck moves up and down only a few degrees and goes side to side. The shoulders and hips are jointed to move in any direction. Since the doll was made for play, it is unfortunate that the arms can’t be posed to hold the guitar properly, but at least it has a strap.
The doll uses three L44 button batteries in a compartment on her back. There is a switch to change from the demo that repeats two stanzas to full play which plays a 20 second version of the chorus from “Our Song”. You do have to wrestle it from the packaging and undo the back of the dress to get at the switch.
You can hear a recording of Taylor Swift’s “Our Song” from the belly speaker of the doll at the link below:

I have this same doll unopened. But it Sings rocking around the Christmas tree by Miley Cyrus. Definitely a mistake from the company with the voice box.
I recently acquired the 2008 Holiday Hannah Montana Miley Cyrus doll for the museum. The batteries are long dead since it has now been 15 years since they were manufactured. I look forward to getting it out of the box and replacing the batteries to see what the doll sings.
I want to know the value of ALL TAYLOR SWIFT DOLLS IN BOX, IN PERFECT CONGRATULATION, NEVER TOUCHED, NEVER LOOKED AT, NEVER HANDLED!!!
I would check Ebay. Some sell for up to $250 each, others only $50 in new condition. With her tour going on, now might be a good time to sell them, even though fall traditionally brings the highest prices with holiday shoppers.
I wish the CDM could afford them, it would be nice to have the complete collection. They sound special. Good luck with your collection.
