Christmas Tree Farm

“Christmas Tree Farm” is a Christmas song by American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift. It was produced by Swift and English musician Jimmy Napes. Swift wrote the song on December 1, 2019, inspired by her Christmas vacation, and released it four days later, on December 6. Opening with an orchestrated balladic intro, “Christmas Tree Farm” is a cheery uptempo pop song driven by swing drums, lush orchestral arrangements, jingle bells, choir harmonies, and lyrics on childhood memories of Christmas. The single charted in several countries, including Australia, Belgium, Canada, Hungary, Ireland, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Critics praised the song’s festive production and lyrics. An official music video, a compilation of home videos that capture Swift’s childhood days from the Christmas tree farm in Pennsylvania she grew up on, was also released alongside the song. The video features herself, her brother Austin Swift, and their parents. Swift performed the song live at the 2019 Capital FM Jingle Bell Ball in London and iHeartRadio Jingle Ball in New York City; the live version from the latter was released to digital music platforms in November 2020, followed by picture discs of the song. An “Old Timey Version” of the song, in which the orchestral accompaniment is more emphasized, has also been released. Taylor Swift released her seventh studio album, Lover, on August 23, 2019, to critical and commercial success. Inspired by the holiday season of 2019, “Christmas Tree Farm” was written, recorded, and released by Swift in under six days. She wrote the song during Thanksgiving weekend, and recorded it on December 1, 2019, the Sunday before its release, with English producer Jimmy Napes at London Lane Studios, United Kingdom. The day after that, a group of choral singers provided the finishing touches. The song was announced on Good Morning America on December 5, 2019, and released at midnight the same day, along with an accompanying music video made from home videos.
On November 22, 2021, Swift announced a re-recorded “Old Timey Version” of the song on Good Morning America.
