The star of [Kanye West’s steamy “Fade” video](http://time.com/4470155/kanye-west-fade-music-video-vmas-2016/) will be appearing alongside [legendary divas Mariah Carey](http://time.com/4340106/mariah-carey-jennifer-lopez-nicki-minaj/) and [Patti LaBelle](http://time.com/money/4119247/patti-labelle-sweet-potato-pie-ebay-black-market/) for the holiday show, which is being resurrected by [VH1 after a four-year hiatus](https://www.instagram.com/p/BMWOKEcBwVh/). The festive special will be Taylor’s first appearance as a part of _VH1 Divas_, but it’s not the first time that Taylor’s taken her talents to the network’s stage; this summer, she gave a stunning tribute performance to Lil’ Kim at the _VH1 Hip Hop Honors_ show. The special will air on Monday, Dec. 5, at 9 p.m. EST on VH1.
