Dan + Shay shared a few festive throwback photos with globally-beloved megastar Taylor Swift to celebrate her birthday on Friday (December 13).
The award-winning duo, made up of Dan Smyers and Shay Mooney, shared the throwback photos on TikTok set to Swift’s “Christmas Tree Farm.” The trio posed together in front of a shimmering tinsel backdrop and Christmas trees on either side of them. Swift dons a Santa jacket, a green boa and silver antlers in the photos. Smyers smiles in the background wearing a red and white hat, and Mooney wears a Santa hat and beard decorated with Christmas ornaments. Find Dan + Shay's birthday tribute to Swift on TikTok here.
“Happy birthday [Taylor Swift]!” Dan + Shay wrote in their caption on Swift’s 35th birthday. “Hope you have the best day!”
The festive throwback photos arrive shortly after Dan + Shay released a massive double album packed with Christmas songs, a project that fans have requested for about a decade. The 21-track album blends original Dan + Shay music with renditions of Christmas classics, including “It’s The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year,” “Santa Claus Is Comin' To Town,” “Silent Night,” “Take Me Home For Christmas,” “Holiday Party,” and more.
“It’s Officially Christmas: The Double Album is a 21-song collection of brand new originals and our take on classics that you already know and love,” Dan + Shay said when they announced the double album. “This project has been a decade in the making, and we are so proud of every single note. We truly leaned into our love for the holiday season and think we found some magic in these songs. Our hope is that you are able to enjoy + share that same magic with your loved ones for years to come. As always, thank you for continuing to believe in us and allowing us to live our dream. We’re grateful for you, and we’re grateful for Christmas! 🎄”
