  TAYLOR SWIFT KARMA LYRICS
  

  You're talking shit for the hell of it
  Addicted to betrayal, but you're relevant
  You're terrified to look down
  'Cause if you dare, you'll see the glare
  Of everyone you burned
  Just to get there
  It's coming back around
  And I keep my side of the street clean
  You wouldn't know what I mean

  'Cause karma is my boyfriend
  Karma is a god
  Karma is the breeze in my
  Hair on the weekend
  Karma's a relaxing thought
  Aren't you envious that for you it's not?
  Sweet like honey
   karma is a cat
  Purring in my lap 'cause it loves me
  Flexing like a goddamn acrobat
  Me and karma vibe like that
  
  
  Spiderboy, king of thieves
  Weave your little webs of opacity
  My pennies made your crown
  Trick me once,trick me twice
  Don't you know that cash ain't the only price?
  It's coming back around
  And I keep my side of the street clean
  You wouldn't know what I mean
  
  'Cause karma is my boyfriend
  Karma is a god
  Karma is the breeze in my
   Hair on the weekend
  Karma's a relaxing thought
  Aren't you envious that for you it's not?
  
  Sweet like honey, karma is a cat
  Purring in my lap 'cause it loves me
  Flexing like a goddamn acrobat
  Me and karma
   Vibe like that
  
  Ask me what I learned from all those years,Ask me what I earned from all those tears
  Ask me why so many fade
  But I'm still here
  (I'm still here, I'm still here)
  
  
  'Cause karma is the thunder
  Rattling your ground
  Karma's on your scent like a bounty hunter
  Karma's gonna track you down
  Step by step, from
   Town to town
  Sweet like justice, karma is a queen
  Karma takes all my friends to the summit
  Karma is the guy on the screen
  Coming straight
   Home to me
  
  'Cause karma is my boyfriend (Karma is my boyfriend)
  Karma is a god
  Karma is the breeze in my hair on the weekend
  (Weekend)
  Karma's a relaxing thought
  Aren't you envious that for you it's not?
  Sweet like honey, karma is a cat
  Purring in my lap 'cause it loves me
  Flexing like a goddamn acrobat
  Me and karma
  Vibe like that
  
  Karma is my boyfriend,Karma is a god (Ah)
  Uh-huh, mm
  Karma's a relaxing thought
  
  

  ABOUT THIS SONG

  Taylor Swift unveiled the music video for her song "Karma" on May 26, 2023, during her Eras Tour stop in East Rutherford, with a special guest appearance by Ice Spice. The video, which was released on YouTube the next day, showcases Swift's creative direction and features a blend of elaborate digital effects and symbolic imagery.

  The video is a visual feast, filled with cosmic and celestial elements that cleverly reference Swift's past albums. Swift takes on various roles and outfits, each telling a different story. She portrays a whimsical "Dorothy" on a yellow brick road, reminiscent of a Wizard of Oz-style narrative. In another scene, she is seen in turquoise attire, set against a massive image of her cat Olivia, symbolizing a dreamy, almost surreal world. Swift also transforms into a green "giantess" covered in lush landscapes, evoking a sense of nature and grandeur. Ice Spice makes a striking appearance, delivering her rap verse from a golden clamshell and appearing amidst a heavenly cloudscape.

  One of the video's standout moments is a sequence where Swift and Ice Spice ascend a staircase from opposite directions, each lassoing a celestial body—Swift grabs the Moon, while Ice Spice captures Saturn. This imagery is thought to be a nod to Swift's lyrics in "Seven." The video concludes with a symbolic scene of Swift holding a cup of coffee, where the foam forms a clock with its hands pointing to midnight, adding a mysterious and contemplative touch to the narrative.
