"Karma" (feat. Ice Spice) on YouTube |
"Karma" is a song by the American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift from her tenth studio album, Midnights (2022). The song was written by Swift, Jack Antonoff, Sounwave, Keanu Beats, and Jahaan Sweet, and produced by the first four. Republic Records released "Karma" as the third and final single from Midnights on May 1, 2023. A remix featuring the rapper Ice Spice was released on May 26, 2023, as part of an extended edition of the album.
In the lyrics of "Karma", Swift proclaims how her "good karma" brought her good things in life, as opposed to her detractors. Musically, the song combines chillwave, disco, electroclash, and synth-pop with elements of techno, alternative pop, and new wave. Its production is characterized by glossy beats and quivering synthesizers. Contemporary critics regarded "Karma" as a highlight on Midnights, praising its bright production, melody, and zany lyricism. At the 66th Annual Grammy Awards in 2024, the remix received a nomination for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance.
"Karma" peaked at number six on the Billboard Global 200 and charted in the top 10 in Australia, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, and the Philippines. In the United States, it peaked at number two on the Billboard Hot 100 and became Swift's record-tying 10th and 11th number-one singles on the Adult Pop Airplay and Pop Airplay charts. Directed by Swift, the music video for "Karma" premiered on May 26, 2023; it has a high fantasy concept and features Swift and Ice Spice as cosmic entities. "Karma" was included on the set list of the Eras Tour (2023–2024) as the closing song.
