Taylor Swift has surprise released a new version of her festive single Christmas Tree Farm.
Dropped without prior announcement, Christmas Tree Farm (Old Timey Version) is released exclusively to Amazon Music as part of its Amazon Originals Christmas line-up. Taylor recorded the new version of Christmas Tree Farm at Abbey Road, and it features a brand-new arrangement, accompanied by a 70-piece orchestra. produced by Jimmy Napes, arranged by Simon Hale and engineered by Abbey Road's Chris Bolster with assistance from Daniel Hayden and Neil Dawes.
“This new version is amazing because it feels like it’s that more sort of laid-back Christmas feel of doing all your shopping and relaxing by a fire,” Swift said in a behind-the-scenes clip. “It’s definitely a little bit more of that old-school Christmas song feel.”
Swift first released Christmas Tree Farm in 2019, along with a nostalgic music video that featured home video footage shot by her parents during the holidays.
