Taylor Swift’s revered lyricism, contrary to popular belief, is not just a product of a brilliant mind. What the power of memory and reminiscence could weave into the fabric of creativity might far exceed the influence of prodigal tendencies, in fact. And Swift, for one, seems to be holding a monopoly over it, as well.

Among her many creations lies a special nod to her roots, more specifically, those on a certain Christmas tree farm she has sung evocatively about.

Taylor Swift and the Christmas Tree Farm

Taylor Swift grew up on a family-owned Christmas tree farm in Pennsylvania. This did not exist only as a fosterer of Christmas trees but also molded her childhood and deeply influenced her artistry.

Her 2019 single 'Christmas Tree Farm' has celebrated exactly this part of her heritage, too. It is as if the singer bottled up the joy and warmth of the years that formed her very core.

To add to the track's tinkle, the music video for 'Christmas Tree Farm' featured genuine clips from Taylor Swift’s childhood on the farm. This design of a Christmas experience found nowhere else has cemented Swift's memory and melody as a near-literal portrait of her childhood.

Christmas is a season synonymous with gift-giving, and for Taylor Swift, it means more than just winning nominations at the Recording Academy. While her album 'Evermore' holds reflections over celebrations for December, her affection for the season was proven broader ages ago with 'The Taylor Swift Holiday Collection'.

Released in 2007, the extended play presented six tracks: four classic covers and two originals, which capture the warmth and joy of the holidays. The cover titles 'Last Christmas', 'Santa Baby', 'Silent Night', and 'White Christmas', and two originals, 'Christmases When You Were Mine' and 'Christmas Must Be Something More', adorned the collection.
