Television powerhouse and model Heidi Klum’s gloriously bonkers pop single with Snoop Dogg is a defiant shot across the bow of agesim in the entertainment and fashion industries.

Chai Tea With Heidi kicked off as a fun idea to create a new theme song for 2022 season of the long-running Next Top Model Germany.

But Klum decided to go for it. The Snoop Dogg fangirl enlisted her hip hop idol for the song and bounces alongside him as he raps about her “mean, fierce, feisty” runway walk.

“It’s always good for the ego, especially when you know the big five-o is on the horizon,” the 48-year-old entrepreneur said.

The single drops as the new NTM season debuted in Germany featuring two women in their 60s and another in their 50s.

Klum said it was overdue for older women to be represented not only in fashion modelling but skin and hair care campaigns.

“You could be a top model at any age, at any height, at any skin colour, at any size; it is about that special something someone has. That’s what I believe in, and that’s why I wanted to open a door to more people to come and audition,” she said.

“My oldest model is 68 and I have a 66 year old. There is a 51-year-old mum who is also there with her daughter, who is 18.”

Klum said the response after the first show aired last week had been wildly positive.

“They’re saying, ‘Well, finally, I feel like I’m represented’,” Klum said.

Her buddy Kylie Minogue, another pop star who has defied pop’s shelf life for female artists, is a guest judge in the series.

Klum makes no secret of her desire to get in the studio with the Australian superstar.

“We are so similar, like we hatched out of the same egg, because we were dancing non-stop together, we had so much fun,” she said.

“So I’m putting it out there with you right now. Kylie, I would love to do that.”

While Klum may not threaten the chart fortunes of Taylor Swift or Adele, she knows what makes an earworm.

Klum clocked millions of streams and a top 20 hit in Germany with her 2006 debut single Wonderland, a Christmas charity song.

Chai Tea already has more than two million streams with the sizzling official video due to premiere later this month.

The track’s chorus is from Rod Stewart’s 1983 chart-topper Baby Jane, the idea to sample the song coming to her as she sang it in the shower one morning.

Her German musician husband Tom Kaulitz, who plays guitar with rockers Tokio Hotel, helped write and produce the track with Snoop Dogg.

And even if the song performs modestly on the charts, she has already won the approval of her most prized audience – her four children Leni, 17, Henry, 16, Jonah, 15, and Lou, 12.

Chai Tea anyone? Picture: Supplied.

“I could be on the biggest TV show here in America and they couldn’t care less. But Snoop Dogg was a different story because my kids all love rap so they were like ‘How did you pull that one off?’” she said.

“Leni sings Chai Tea all the time now. I don’t know if you call it an earworm down under but Rod Stewart made an earworm with that song and that’s why he made a hit.”

Chai Time With Heidi featuring Snoop Dogg is out now.
