The surprise moment took place yesterday afternoon (December 18) at the London train station, where the singer sat by a piano and treated onlookers to live renditions of some tracks.
Among the songs she performed was the festive classic, ‘Winter Wonderland’, which was then followed by her hit single ‘From Re Start’.
Another track she broke out was the song ‘Christmas Magic’, which is an Amazon Original and featured in the Christmas film Red One from Amazon MGM Studios.

As well as delighting fans this week by making the surprise appearance at St. Pancras, Laufey also made a debut appearance on the BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge on Tuesday (December 17).
Both events come ahead of her appearance on The Graham Norton Show as part of the Christmas Special episode. That is set to premiere on BBC One tomorrow evening (December 20). You can find the Live Lounge set below.
For Laufey, the show at St Pancras and the slot on the BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge come on the heels of her taking home the Grammy for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album for her second studio album, ‘Bewitched’, earlier this year.
In a five-star review of the record, NME described it as “confident and musically ambitious, melding jazz, pop and modern classical composition”.
“The Icelandic-Chinese star’s second record ‘Bewitched’ enchants in its own beautiful, unique way,” it read. “Richly detailed orchestral arrangements and her masterful musicality – the multi-hyphenate is an acclaimed cellist, and studied at the prestigious Berklee College of Music in Boston – support her thoroughly Gen Z ripostes.”
Speaking to NME for The Cover last year, Laufey shared her dream of bringing jazz to the masses. “I always said to my mom, I remember when I was 11 in the car, ‘I want to do for jazz music what Taylor Swift did for country music’,” she told us. “With every day, with every little achievement, I feel like I’m getting closer to that goal of bringing jazz back to my generation.”
