Kim Kardashian’s ‘Santa Baby’ Cover Divides the Internet

A Star-Studded Production

The cover was produced by none other than Travis Barker, known for his work with blink-182 and his collaborations with other high-profile artists. Adding to the glitz, the song debuted with a visually stunning short film directed by the brilliant Nadia Lee Cohen and Charlie Denis.

In true Kardashian style, the visuals are sleek, sultry, and undeniably eye-catching, blending holiday cheer with the high fashion Kim is famous for.

The Fans React

The release has sparked a flurry of reactions on social media. Some fans praised Kim for her vocals, calling the song “unexpectedly charming” and “perfect for the holidays.” However, not everyone was convinced. Critics argued her performance felt more like a branding exercise than a heartfelt musical endeavor, with comments like, “She should stick to Skims and reality TV.” Ouch!

Why Now?

The timing of this release is curious. Some speculate it’s part of a larger strategy to expand Kim’s influence beyond beauty and fashion into the entertainment world once again. Others think it’s simply a fun holiday passion project. Whatever the reason, it’s certainly got people talking.

Comparisons to Her 2010 Debut

For those who remember, Kim’s first foray into music was the single Jam (Turn It Up), which, let’s be honest, didn’t exactly top the charts. Fast forward to 2024, and this rendition of Santa Baby feels like a redemption arc—or at least an attempt at one. While her voice has improved since then, the internet isn’t quick to forget her first outing in the music world.

With Santa Baby being her only musical release in over a decade, fans are curious if this signals a new chapter in Kim’s career or if it’s a one-off. Could we see an entire holiday album in the future? Or even original music? Only time will tell, but one thing’s for sure: Kim Kardashian knows how to keep her name in the headlines.

Whether you loved it or rolled your eyes, Kim Kardashian’s take on Santa Baby has done what it needed to do: get people talking. It’s polarizing, it’s flashy, and it’s oh-so-Kardashian. For better or worse, Kim’s return to music has added a splash of drama to this year’s holiday season.
