Kim Kardashian released a cover of the 1953 song by Eartha Kitt titled Santa Baby. The cover was released on December 23, 2024, on her official YouTube channel. The cover's video was directed by Nadia Lee Cohen and Charlie Dennis and was produced by Travis Barker.
The release of the cover has drawn out reactions from the internet, such as the tweet below:
"YE is 10000000% correct about everything."
Some netizens were offended by the video and the song, taking issue with its playing around with Christian themes. Others were more appreciative of the video and the song:
"Showing Jesus while the song says "Think of all the fellows that I haven't kissed" while you crawl in a thong is pretty strong disrespect for a once professing Christian." one netizen reacted.
"Absolutely brilliant. One of the most creative works of art I’ve seen in a long time. She has taken herself to the next level." another netizen stated.
"Imagine explaining to someone in 2004 that Travis Barker would produce a Christmas song for Kim Kardashian." one commenter reacted.
"Perhaps the girl crawling through that depraved landscape is looking for a way out. She believes she found salvation with Santa only to discover he’s the one filming. Therefore she’s stuck in an endless cycle of depravity without escape - a metaphor for reality today. -" one reactor tried to analyze the video
The reaction continues, criticizing the harsh attacks on the singer made by some netizens:
"Or maybe Santa decides to put the camera down after seeing her struggle and return the world to sanity. There’s a lot of depth to the piece that most people are not appreciating. They just immediately react to imagery of depravity in todays microwave instant society."
