Miley Cyrus Turned "Santa Baby" Into a Feminist Anthem, and Now It's My Favorite Holiday Bop

Dec 20 2018 - 4:17pm

When it comes to holiday songs that didn't age well, "Baby It's Cold Outside" has certainly been the talk of the town [1] in 2018. But that doesn't mean it's the only problematic festive bop! Case in point: "Santa Baby," which is all about flirting with Santa in hopes that he'll give you dank gifts. Luckily, Miley Cyrus [2] is here to rescue us from a future, inevitable controversy: this week on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon [3], she took it upon herself to give us the "Santa Baby" we deserve.

In this new version, Cyrus is an empowered woman who doesn't need diamonds and fancy cars from Santa . . . because she already bought them for herself! And if she were to ask for something from old St. Nick, it would be equal pay for women, and other much more useful things. We're adding this to our holiday playlist, right after the updated "Baby It's Cold Outside" [4] we got earlier this month. Thank you, next.
