Kim Kardashian is no stranger to the spotlight, but her latest project has drawn mixed reactions. In the days leading up to Christmas, Kardashian unveiled a surprising holiday treat: her cover of the classic Christmas song “Santa Baby.” The cover, produced by her brother-in-law Travis Barker, features Kardashian’s soft, whispery vocals as she purrs her way through the lyrics. While Kardashian is known for many things, her singing is not typically one of them, and this cover doesn’t do much to change that.
Kardashian’s voice barely rises above a whisper, which gives the track an almost eerie feel. The rendition itself is unremarkable—nothing more than a low-effort attempt at a holiday classic. But what really makes this release stand out is the accompanying video, which seems more suited for Halloween than Christmas.
“Directed by Charlie Denis and Nadia Lee Cohen, the video presents a twisted version of a holiday celebration. Kardashian is seen crawling through a strange, ominous holiday gathering. The setting is filled with disturbing elements: menacing Santa’s helpers, a terrifying reindeer costume, and an unsettling atmosphere.”
The video features a cameo by Macaulay Culkin, best known for his role in Home Alone. Despite Culkin’s presence, the overall tone of the video is far from festive. Instead of spreading holiday cheer, it leaves viewers with a sense of unease.
The bizarre visuals have led many to wonder what Kardashian was thinking when she decided to release this project. The video is a stark contrast to the traditional Christmas cheer fans are used to seeing at this time of year. While it may be an attempt at artistic expression, the result feels jarring and unsettling.
This isn’t the first time Kardashian has ventured into the world of music. Back in 2011, she released a charity single called “Jam (Turn It Up),” which was produced by The-Dream. However, her musical career never really took off, and it’s safe to say that her latest release won’t change that. While Kardashian has made headlines for her ventures in fashion, business, and even acting, music has never been her primary focus.
Despite her past musical missteps, Kardashian has continued to stay involved in the entertainment world. Recently, she signed on for a role in the upcoming legal drama All’s Fair, a project co-starring Glenn Close, Sarah Paulson, and Naomi Watts. The show will be produced by Ryan Murphy, who has worked with Kardashian before. The collaboration with Murphy could potentially help boost her acting career, but her musical efforts still seem to fall flat.
As for Travis Barker, he is no stranger to working with artists across different genres. Known for his role as the drummer for Blink-182, Barker has also produced for a variety of musicians in recent years, including Machine Gun Kelly and Avril Lavigne. His involvement in Kardashian’s “Santa Baby” cover could have been an attempt to lend some credibility to the project, but it seems to have done little to improve the overall outcome.
Despite the strange reception to her holiday release, Kardashian has garnered attention, as always. Whether it’s for her business ventures, family drama, or now her musical experiments, she continues to be one of the most talked-about celebrities of the moment. However, this “Santa Baby” cover is certainly one of her more confusing and questionable moves.
As the holiday season continues, Kardashian’s eerie take on a Christmas classic will likely remain a topic of conversation. Whether it’s seen as an attempt at quirky holiday fun or a misguided creative experiment, one thing is clear: it’s certainly not your typical Christmas music video.
“I think Kim is really just doing her own thing, but this one definitely went a bit too far,” said a source close to the Kardashian family. These words reflect the overall reaction to the cover and video, which have sparked both confusion and amusement among fans.
While Kardashian may have hoped to surprise and entertain her audience with this odd holiday project, it’s clear that not everyone is a fan of her take on “Santa Baby.” The bizarre visuals, combined with her whispered vocals, have left many viewers scratching their heads. If anything, this latest release proves that Kim Kardashian continues to keep people talking—whether it’s in praise or bewilderment.
