Kim Kardashian’s ‘Santa Baby’ Video: A Disturbing Twist on a Classic
Kim Kardashian’s cover of “Santa Baby” has fans talking, leaving many “confused.”
On Sunday, the reality television star shared the music video for her take on the Christmas song. Kardashian, 44, was seen in home-video style filming, crawling on her hands and knees in a blonde bob wig.
Kardashian crawled past a donkey next to the Virgin Mary, Jesus raiding the refrigerator, and a woman trimming a Christmas tree. Each scene feels like a snapshot from a surreal holiday narrative, merging traditional imagery with an avant-garde twist that leaves the audience questioning its intent.
The Skims founder wore a blue top, beige leggings that exposed her underwear, socks, and heels as she crawled her way to Santa Claus. This daring choice adds an unconventional layer to her portrayal, challenging viewers to reflect on the boundaries of holiday cheer.
Eventually, Kardashian made it to the jolly old man and ran her fingers up his leg before the camera panned away, revealing another A-lister, “Home Alone” star Macaulay Culkin. The juxtaposition of innocence and the bizarre only heightens the sense of confusion.
Kardashian’s project, directed by Nadia Lee Cohen and Charlie Denis and produced by Travis Barker, set social media ablaze just before the holiday season, igniting a mix of intrigue and backlash.
“This is disturbing. And she claims she is Christian. This is absurd.”
“This is disturbing. And she claims she is Christian. This is absurd,” one user expressed on Kardashian’s Instagram post, encapsulating the sentiments of many. Among the bewildered responses, some questioned her intentions, writing, “I am so confused. Kim, what are you doing?” Another chimed in, “This is so cringe and weird. Your time has passed, honey, take a seat.”
While the commentary ranged from horror to bewilderment, several users found artistic merit in her presentation. One person declared, “Dope on all levels,” hinting at the complicated nature of art interpretation. Another remarked, “Art—those that get it, get it!” showing that some viewers appreciate the unconventional approach, hinting at the duality of public perception.
This is not the first time fans have criticized Kardashian for misusing religious objects. Just last month, she faced backlash for posing in one of her Skims bra and underwear sets while sporting a rosary prominently around her neck—a fashion choice that many found highly inappropriate. One critic argued, “Wearing a cross while being half-naked. Would you make a mockery out of other religions too?” This calls into question the balance between personal expression and cultural sensitivity.
The negative commentary continued to flood her postings, with users stating, “The Holy Rosary is NOT a fashion accessory.” Such remarks reflect a growing concern about the intersection of celebrity culture and religious symbolism, leading to introspection about the implications of public personas on faith-related narratives.
In an era where fashion and artistry often collide with the sacred, Kardashian’s provocative approach raises deeper questions about the meaning of tradition in contemporary society. Is it art, or is it disrespect? As the holiday season approaches, her attempt at redefining “Santa Baby” feels like a call to reconsider how cultural icons shape our understanding of celebration and morality.
