Taylor Swift – Christmas Must Be Something More (Audio)

An original song by Taylor Swift—one of today’s greatest pop stars—featured on her 2007 holiday EP, The Taylor Swift Holiday Collection.

The lyrics are striking in the way they ask whether Christmas has a true meaning even without material symbols like ribbons, wrapping paper, and mistletoe.

It’s said to be based on a song she wrote around the age of 13, conveying the message that the essence of Christmas lies not in surface decorations, but in the faith-based meaning of the Savior’s birth.

With a country-tinged sound woven from guitar, banjo, and fiddle, the track carries a spiritual atmosphere.

Highly recommended for moments when you want to reconsider the meaning of Christmas or sing a holiday song with depth!
