Kim Kardashian shocked the internet over the weekend, making an unexpected return to the music scene after 13 years.
Dropping a sultry cover of Eartha Kitt’s 1953 holiday classic, Santa Baby, Kim enlisted none other than Travis Barker for the production, marking the track’s release under his DTA Records in partnership with Columbia Records.
The surprise didn’t stop there. Alongside the song, Kim debuted a visually striking, slightly bizarre music video directed by Nadia Lee Cohen and Charlie Denis. Sporting a platinum blonde wig, Kim prowls through a messy, dimly lit house on all fours, evoking equal parts glam and chaos.
In a meta twist, the video includes carolers serenading Kim with her own 2011 track, Jam (Turn It Up), at her front door. The peculiar journey reaches its peak when a sinister Santa Claus—holding a video recorder—removes his mask to reveal none other than Home Alone star Macaulay Culkin.
The unexpected collaboration with Barker, coupled with the bizarre yet stylish visuals, has fans speculating: could this be just the beginning of Kim’s re-entry into music? Or is it simply a festive one-off to close out the year?
