Famed for her versatility and reinvention, Cher's journey in the entertainment industry began as one-half of the folk-rock husband-wife duo Sonny & Cher, which rose to fame in the mid-1960s with the hit song "I Got You Babe."

She has defied the bounds of age and genre, returning to the charts across various decades and exploring styles ranging from folk to disco to rock. In her more recent endeavors, Cher has embraced the festive spirit, releasing a collection of holiday-themed music that includes collaborations with celebrated artists like Darlene Love, Tyga, Stevie Wonder, Michael Bublé, and Cyndi Lauper. Even in the latest chapter of her career, Cher continues to demonstrate her unique ability to connect with audiences, celebrate the joy of the season, and remain a beloved and influential force in the music industry.
