Taylor Swift's New Music Video for ‘Christmas Tree Farm’ Is Filled With So Many Adorable Home Videos

Taylor Swift surprised fans this week by releasing a brand new song and music video—and a Christmas-themed one, at that.

On Thursday, Swift posted about the new music with a video asking her cats—Olivia, Meredith, and Benjamin—if she should drop the single she’d just written, instead of waiting a whole year for Christmas 2020. “When in doubt, ask the itty bitty pretty kitty committee. When they shun you with silence, ambivalence, and judgmental brush offs… just put the song out anyway. NEW XMAS SONG AND VIDEO (made from home videos ?‍?‍?‍?) OUT TONIGHT #ChristmasTreeFarm ?????????????,” she wrote.

The singer also dropped a brand new music video for the song “Christmas Tree Farm,” which features a ton of adorable home video footage of Swift as a little girl with her parents and little brother, Austin. As her fans know, she did grow up on actual Christmas tree farm in Pennsylvania before moving to Nashville to begin her music career, and you can see the magical spot in the video. “I actually did grow up on a Christmas tree farm. In a gingerbread house, deep within the yummy gummy gumdrop forest,” she tweeted. “Where, funnily enough, this song is their national anthem. #ChristmasTreeFarm song and video out now .”

How cute is she? I love seeing her open up what might just be her first guitar, knowing what we know now about where that gift led. The song is lovely, too though not Swift’s first foray into holiday music. In 2007, she released the album Sounds of the Season: The Taylor Swift Holiday Collection, which included covers of songs like “Last Christmas” and “Santa Baby.”

Of course, it wouldn’t be a Taylor Swift release if her fans didn’t go deep diving for Easter eggs and clues about future projects. One fan drew attention to one of the home video’s dates. “Uhm… guys. Look at the date. November 23 1989. Taylor wasn’t born yet. 8 days until the end of the month and then 13 days later she was born… 8… 13. TS8 is coming #ChristmasTreeFarm @taylorswift13 @taylornation13,” they wrote.

Admittedly, that’s a bit of a stretch—but we do know Swift likes to hide clues in her songs and videos, so nothing is totally off the table.

People Think Miley Cyrus's New Music Video Is Filled With Nods to Liam Hemsworth

While Taylor Swift remains the indisputable queen of putting Easter eggs in music videos—I mean, have you seen the one for Lover?—it seems Miley Cyrus is taking a page out of Swift’s book, releasing a music video that fans think is chock full of nods to her relationship and subsequent breakup with Liam Hemsworth.

On Friday, September 7, Cyrus dropped the hotly-anticipated music video for her new single “Slide Away.” We’ve all agreed the song was undoubtedly a breakup anthem following her divorce from her husband of less than a year. Lyrics like, “So won’t you slide away. Back to the ocean, I’ll go back to the city lights” and “Move on, we’re not 17” seem to be nods to Hemsworth’s home of Australia and how they met and fell in love when she was 17. (RIP The Last Song.)

As if that wasn’t enough for fans, the music video contains a lot of things that could point to their relationship. In the video, a bored and unimpressed Cyrus wanders through a house as a raucous party unfolds around her. The premise itself is a clear parallel to one of her most famous videos, “We Can’t Stop,” in which the singer throws a wild house party and happily indulges in the partying. Now, as she sings lyrics like, “I want my house in the hills / Don’t want the whiskey and pills” and “I’m not who I used to be” fans can see how much she—and presumably her relationship with Hemsworth—has changed since then. Many fans also assumed the partying and shots of empty liquor and pill bottles could be a reference to Hemsworth’s alleged drug use. (Hemsworth’s reps denied those rumors.)

Eventually in the video, Cyrus heads into the pool, alone, and seems to find peace floating in the water. My interpretation: This is Cyrus letting her fans know she’s found happiness post-breakup—potentially with her rumored new girlfriend, Kaitlynn Carter.

(Can we also take a moment here to also recognize how amazing Cyrus looks in this video? She can truly pull off the wet-hair-don’t-care look, not to mention that chain metal dress that’s giving us serious Kendall Jenner/Paris Hilton 21st birthday dress vibes. And don’t even get me started on that glittery gold eyeshadow that looks straight out of Euphoria.)
