Kim Kardashian has rung in the holidays with a little help from brother-in-law Travis Barker. Just a few days before Christmas, the Skims founder has shared an awful, lo-fi cover of the classic “Santa Baby” with an accompanying video more fitting for Halloween. Watch the clip below.
With her voice barely above a whisper, Kardashian purrs her way through the “Santa Baby” cover, which was produced by Barker. The low-effort rendition would be entirely unremarkable if not for the bizarre and disturbing music video.
Directed by Charlie Denis and Nadia Lee Cohen, the latter of whom has worked with Tyler, the Creator and A$AP Rocky, the clip features Kardashian crawling her way through a horrific holiday gathering, featuring menacing Santa’s helpers, a terrifying reindeer costume, and a cameo from Macaulay Culkin of Home Alone fame. Seems like Kardashian misses her days on American Horror Story.
This isn’t Kardashian’s first musical effort. Back in 2011, she released a charity single called “Jam (Turn It Up)” produced by The-Dream. Next up, she’ll team with Ryan Murphy once again for the legal drama All’s Fair, co-starring Glenn Close, Sarah Paulson, and Naomi Watts.
Outside of reuniting with the classic lineup of Blink-182, Barker has manned the boards for artists like Machine Gun Kelly and Avril Lavigne in recent years.
