Kim Kardashian dropped the most random music video for Christmas that still has people scratching their heads days later. The reality TV star decided to give us her own version of the holiday classic “Santa Baby” and it definitely invokes some sort of spirit, I’m just not so sure it’s the festive one.
Although there is no denying that it is not the festive vibes you’d expect or necessarily want from the holidays, people are majorly hating on the whole thing and taking it quite personally, here’s why.
Imagine this: Kim, decked out in a blonde wig, crawling through a chaotic house that looks like it’s been plucked straight from a horror movie.
The video, directed by Nadia Lee Cohen and Charlie Denis, is honestly like a Christmas movie meets an acid trip. The song was produced by her brother-in-law Travis Barker.
In the clip, Kim drags herself across the floor while the background features people shouting on phones, fighting over who knows what, and even someone swimming in an aquarium. Totally normal things!
And just when you think it can’t get any weirder, a man dressed as Jesus rummages through the fridge while a woman casually chops branches off a Christmas tree.
The pièce de résistance? Macaulay Culkin makes a cameo as Santa at the end, which feels like a Home Alone themed fever dream.
You can have a watch for yourself here:
Unsurprisingly, the internet is not here for it. Fans quickly took to social media to express their confusion and horror. One viewer commented, “Am I the only one getting demonic vibes.”
Honestly, you’re not alone there; many are feeling that eerie energy.
Another user chimed in with, “I am so confused. Kim what are you doing?” A sentiment echoed by countless others who watched the video and felt their brains slowly melting away.
One particularly dramatic commenter said, “This looks like every single nightmare I’ve ever had.”
While some called the video a “humiliation ritual” or simply “in poor taste”, there were a few brave souls who attempted to defend Kim’s artistic direction.
One fan boldly stated, “This unironically being better than Kanye‘s last two albums.” LMAO the layers of shade here are everything.
Others pointed out that the general public weren’t appreciating the work and direction of Nadia Lee Cohen. “It’s not even that crazy from like a contemporary art perspective. Nadia Cohen worked on it an it reminded me a lot of her photography but like a media format,” one commenter wrote.
So maybe there’s some depth in this chaos after all?
In the end, whether you love it or loathe it, one thing is clear: Kim Kardashian knows how to stir the pot and I’ll certainly keep eating it up.
