Taylor Swift Performs New Holiday Song

Taylor Swift gave her new holiday song, “Christmas Tree Farm,” its live concert debut Sunday in London, at Capital FM’s Jingle Bell Ball.

Taylor donned a Santa hat and performed in a white romper and boots, as digital snowflakes drifted down the video screens behind her. The video, which features footage of her as a child, also played behind her.

Fans report that Swift’s set list also included “Blank Space,” “ME!” and “London Boy,” as well as “Lover,” “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together,” “22,” “You Need to Calm Down” and “Shake It Off.”

Meanwhile, Madame Tussauds London has revealed it is putting the first-ever permanent wax figure of Taylor on display starting December 13th, which also happens to be her 30th birthday.

And, Taylor is teasing the imminent release of her upcoming movie Cats by posting a photo of her first day on set. The singer, who plays a cat named Bombalurina, is pictured on a giant-sized set designed to make people seem tiny by comparison, standing by a huge door and stretching up to reach a doorknob. Cats is in theaters December 20th. Taylor received a Golden Globe nomination for “Beautiful Ghosts,” the original song she co-wrote for the movie with Cats creator Andrew Lloyd Webber.

In other news, Swift’s camp ran an ad Tuesday in a Grammy-themed edition of the Los Angeles Times’ The Envelope section. While Swift has three Grammy nominations this year, Republic Records’ ad focuses entirely on Swift’s song of the year nomination: “Vote for ‘Lover,'” the ad implores, “…Because this decade’s most prolific songwriter has never won Grammy’s song of the year.” This is Taylor’s fourth nomination in that category. The 62nd annual Grammy Awards will be presented at Staples Center in Los Angeles on January 26th.

Finally, after YouTube host and podcaster Stefan Molyneux spoke openly about Swift’s fertility now that she is turning 30 years old, Chrissy Teigen fired back hard.

Molyneux wrote, “I can’t believe Taylor Swift is about to turn 30 – she still looks so young! It’s strange to think that 90% of her eggs are already gone – 97% by the time she turns 40 – so I hope she thinks about having kids before it’s too late! She’d be a fun mom. :)”

Teigen, who has previously shared her own fertility struggles, wasted little time firing back at Molyneux. As she bluntly put it, “Uhhhh you’re a f*ckin weird ass.”
