"Karma" is a song by the American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift from her tenth studio album, Midnights (2022). The song was written and produced by Swift, Jack Antonoff, Sounwave, and Keanu Beats; Jahaan Sweet was a co-writer. 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.
"Karma" combines synth-pop, chillwave, disco-pop, and electroclash, with elements of alternative pop, new wave, and techno. It is instrumented by cascading synth and Omnichord notes. In the lyrics, Swift's narrator proclaims how karma helps her attain good things in life, as opposed to her detractors, who receive backlash for their wrongdoings. Music critics generally praised the production and playful lyrics of "Karma", with some selecting it as a highlight on Midnights. Although the Ice Spice remix received mixed reviews, it was nominated for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance at the 66th Annual Grammy Awards in 2024.
"Karma" peaked at number six on the Billboard Global 200, charted in the top 10 in Australia, Canada, Ireland, Latvia, New Zealand, and the Philippines, and was certified multi-platinum in Australia and New Zealand. In the US, the single peaked at number two on the Billboard Hot 100 and topped the Pop Airplay and Adult Pop Airplay charts. Swift directed the music video for "Karma", which premiered on May 26, 2023. It incorporates cosmic imagery and features her and Ice Spice in outer space. Swift performed "Karma" as the closing song of the Eras Tour (2023–2024).
