Taylor Swiftgot into the spirit of the season on Sunday night.
Justdays after premiering her new holiday song, “Christmas Tree Farm,” Swift took the stage to perform the tune for the first time — singing it live to London’s O2 arena during her set at Capital FM’s Jingle Bell Ball.
For “Christmas Tree Farm,” Swift dressed up her white romper and thigh-high boots with a red Santa hat. Her stage was lit with red and green lights and snowflake graphics.

“Christmas Tree Farm” is a sentimental song for Swift, as she grew up on a 15-acre Christmas tree farm in Pennsylvania called Pine Ridge Farm. Her formative years there established her love for Christmas.
Swift’s video shows some of those sentimental family moments, including footage of Swift sweetly waving in her mother’s arms and later sledding in the snow with her father.
Perhaps the most heartwarming moment, however, is when Swift excitedly unwraps her very first guitar one Christmas morning.
Swift wrote “Christmas Tree Farm” on Dec. 1, and immediately went to the studio. She announced the song was coming four days later.
The song is the first original seasonal music Swift’s put out sinceTheTaylor SwiftHoliday Collection, her limited release Christmas EP from back in October 2007.
It’s been big 2019 for Swift, who turns 30 on Friday and whocovers PEOPLE’s most recent issue as one of the 2019 People of the Year.
In the final year of her 20s, the superstar released herrecord-shattering new albumLover(all 18 trackscharted simultaneously on the Billboard Hot 100) and embraced her voice and power more than ever.
“This is the first time I’ve been able to put out music that I feel is connecting with people, yet look back on everything I’ve made and feel a quiet sense of pride,” Swift told PEOPLE in her People of the Year cover story. “I’m proud of the things I’ve withstood, and I’ve been able to carve out a life for myself.”
