- An exclusive 18-inch Megan Moroney doll drops at Target.com on November 22 and in Target stores in early December, marking the first time American Girl's signature 18-inch dolls have sold at Target.

Megan Moroney is bringing her rhinestone-and-guitar aesthetic to the toy aisle. The country star has partnered with American Girl on an exclusive collection of doll fashions and accessories, which Mattel and the doll brand unveiled August 5, timed to Moroney’s first-ever arena tour.
The line, available now at American Girl stores and online, includes a magenta Stage Outfit, a checkered Fan Fashion Outfit, Concert-Ready and VIP Accessory packs, and a Guitar & Mic Stand Playset modeled on the iridescent instrument Moroney uses onstage.
An exclusive 18-inch Megan Moroney doll follows this holiday season, launching only at Target.com on November 22 before hitting Target stores in early December, the first time American Girl’s signature 18-inch dolls have sold at that retailer.
Moroney called the collaboration a “full-circle moment,” saying American Girl was on her list of dream partners and that her childhood doll, Emily Bennett, still holds a place in her collection.
This is Moroney’s first tie-up with the brand, and one of American Girl’s first-ever celebrity collaborations, joining past partners Erin Dana Lichy, Rose Lavelle, and Shonda Rhimes.
The timing lines up with a breakout year. Moroney’s third album, Cloud 9, debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 in February, and she’s now headlining the 49-date Cloud 9 Tour, her first arena run.
The doll deal also extends a fast-growing endorsement résumé: Moroney fronted Revlon’s “Be Unforgettable” campaign and launched her debut fragrance, Calliope, with Scent Beauty, following earlier collaborations with Boys Lie and Lane Boots.
Fellow country star Dolly Parton took a similar approach in fashion with her Good American collection, underscoring how country artists are increasingly landing marquee lifestyle deals.
American Girl, celebrating its 40th anniversary in 2026, has leaned into star power this year as it looks to reach younger, digitally native fans without straying from its founding mission of empowering girls through storytelling and play.
Takeaways
This isn’t a one-off toy tie-in; it’s American Girl testing whether crossover star power can modernize a 40-year-old brand without alienating its core audience of young girls and the nostalgic parents who grew up with the dolls.
Staggering the launch (accessories now, an exclusive doll at Target for the holidays) points to a coordinated, multi-quarter rollout rather than a single splashy drop.
And stacked against Moroney’s Revlon and Scent Beauty deals, American Girl looks like the latest piece of a lifestyle-brand build-out that now spans beauty, fragrance, and childhood nostalgia, not just music merch.
Will a country-star doll resonate with American Girl’s core tween audience, or is this really aimed at millennial moms who grew up with the brand? Could this open the door for more country and pop artists to land toy and youth-brand deals the way Dolly Parton has in fashion? Does a “lifelong fan, full-circle moment” story sell better with fans than a standard celebrity product drop?
