Taylor Swift has announced her first original Christmas song in over a decade.
Christmas Tree Farm will be released tonight (December 5), as confirmed by Taylor on her Twitter account.
"I've just written a Christmas song. I feel it's weird to wait a year to put it out," Taylor said in her announcement video, which saw her ask her cats if she should release the song. In the tweet captioning the clip, Taylor then clarified that the song, and music video make from home videos, is coming this week.
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 🌲🎄🌲🎄🌲🎄🌲🎄🌲🎄🌲🎄🌲 pic.twitter.com/GdlnCAKDLF

OMG... looks like I might've found a Christmas song that I'll listen to more than AIWFCIY this year, haha! :D

Also, it'll be Taylor's 30th birthday on the same day that the chart it'll debut on gets announced.
Come on everyone, let's give her the present she deserves... a second UK #1 single! :)
