Karma: Ultimate Easter Egg Guide!! 💎🌙 Taylor Swift ft. Ice Spice 

Also my fav scene is when they climbing the stairs, it’s such a beautiful metaphor that they are both are the height of their careers and when Taylor throws her lasso she shows ice spice kind of like showing her the ropes in the music industry and obviously the moon and Saturn referencd

I have seen around the Internet that the three grim reapers signify the three albums she still is to re-record (1989, debut, and reputation). As now they are on the dark side but eventually will be brought to the bright side :)

Ugh a sel & tay collab would be EVERYTHING 😭🫶🏻

So a couple things I noticed too- ice spice as little mermaid and it premiered the same day as live action and as well the original release date for the animated is 1989

Last month Disney announced the live action to Moana, Taylor just releases Karma mv, so she obviously looks like Te fiti so I think she might be hinting that she's going to be on the soundtrack to the live action of Moana.

I saw someone saying that the New York clock tower has IIII instead of IV, so it could be a reference for Welcome To New York. It was also the guitar surprise song at East Rutherford, night 3

The lightbulb scene I think is another nod to 1989 TV being the next release. At first we see three Taylor lightbulbs, Speak Now TV is her third album, then two more bulbs light up, making five, and 1989 is her 5th album... so maybe that's her signaling 1989 TV is coming after Speak Now TV.

Ice Spice owns her master’s and they’re on the “same boat”, Taylor is announcing to us that she’s finished re-recording all of her albums!!

idk if anyone noticed but to me the outfits of taylor and ice spice in the boat scene really reminded me of ancient indian clothing that women wore, especially taylors upper and lower garments' draping, and ice spice's head having a veil, which reminded me of a lot of art depicting indian classics. its really interesting since the concept of 'karma' or 'karm' (meaning deeds in hindi and linked to the system of cause and effect) has indian origins i'd love to hear other peoples' thoughts on this, since this is what i thought when i first saw the music video, but i havent seen anyone else say this

PLEASE SPREAD THIS GUYS!!! Hey I found this out... On the ice spice scene, it has a shell. and what movie represents shells? The little mermaid. And when was it made?? 1989!! And when did she release the mv? May 26th! The same day when little mermaid was released? Coincidence? Please spread this!!

You missed the reference "So long Daisy Mae" from YOYOK which is a reference to the earlier Daisy reference from the Lil Abner comics where Daisy just builds up the guy in the relationship as her whole personality (it was super dated) but I think she was foreshadowing Joe's breakup. I think the entire thing is a symbol for the Triad she had between Joe and Tom. While she was with Tom in Ivy, she was also seeing Joe (I once was poison ivy, now I'm your daisy) which I think is literally her saying that she was Ivy and she became Joe's Daisy, and also her saying goodbye to her identity as his daisy. Go back to classics for more clues. The horned mask is related to Hekate & Artemis (goddess of the underworld, and she ferries Ice Spice on the river of death in the video to confirm) who shared the triple-aspect goddess with Artemis (goddess of hunting, maidens, etc), and Selene (goddess of the moon); and then the Gaia (not Moana) reference. There's a lot more but if you go into classics, she's using a lot of references.

Another thing I got thinking is the yellow brick road scene that she’s not exactly dressed like Dorothy but maybe Heidi instead? Also wizard of oz had its 50th anniversary in 1989

I am pretty sure that the music video filmed in London will be Getaway Car, containing a Bonnie & Clyde theme, hence the yellow hat.

listening to all this easter eggs that you`ve found, I do realise that their marketing programm is not a year-twoo thing for sure. This is when your life is planned for nearly 5 years beforehand, that`s amazing. And that gives a room to connect the dots, to hide the eggs and give the hints to the one`s who loves her work. She is with her team are for real masterminds, wow!

Kendal, kylie and hailey those came to mind 😂

Alison and WONDERLAND. Ring a bell? 1989’s song and there's a reference to August and Seven, combine them and you got August, 7th, then this year 2023. And speak now is coming out July 7th this year. 1989 is coming out in August people!

Alice in wonderland vibes could go with the song wonderland from 1989 album

You always give all the information you need! Love your videos

Great analysis! Thanks so much for sharing it

saw someone point out that justicia, the roman godess of justice is also blindfolded. the greek version of that godess, dike, isn’t. (they both also carry a sword so do with that information as you please.) yellow berets were draft doders during the vietnam war, who used their profession in medicine to try to get out of fighting in vietnam. it was used derogatorily as those people were seen as not patriotic but some of them apparently got nobel prices out of it so good for them. my ‚moana scene‘ theory goes back to the whole mythology thing from the dike reference, except this time she is putting herself into the role of gaia, the earth and ice spice is the sky. there’s about a thousand different versions of who or what came first because that’s greek mythology, there’s versions where the earth emerges from the chaos, feels lonely and creates the sky, there’s versions where they come into existence at about the same time, neither is more correct than the other. that’s the only real association i have for that scene. it’s giving ‚i can reclaim the land‘ (which is a line that is very much an ick). i don’t have a theory as to what it’s supposed to mean but it’s better than the moana stuff in my opinion (no offense to the moana truthers)

Very interesting!! Thanks Ana you’re the best

Excellent analysis. 👏 I really like the new version of this song.

This was a great breakdown! My wife and I loved it. Thank you, subbed!

I feel she's making reference to so many European cities / countries that I really want to think she's telling us the cities that will be included in the European Eras tour

I think it’s more like Feb 2024 for Rep TV and August 2024 for 1989 TV. If you’re going clockwise the 2 is the first one that’s coming up. At the same time that would almost certainly mean she’d go longer than 2 years without releasing a new album and I’m not sure she’d do that…

I saw someone else's easter egg video i forgot which youtuber it was but they said that the clock hands in the coffee cup stay on 11 for a few seconds then strike twelve and that it could be a hint to TS 11.

The broom she's carrying in the wizard of oz scene is reminiscent of the broom the wicked witch of the west flew on; maybe it's a symbol of victory?

Anyone saying the mask is for Matty Healy being an Aries should watch his Chicken Shop Date 😂😂

I've predicted the order so far on the order of the rerecords I do think after speak now is 1989 then reputation I think debut will be last. But will see.

I have a very good theory, 1989 is coming out on August 7th, 2023

there is a sign of rep in the beginning. the dust looks and moves like a snake.

Anyone else think the moon and saturn with Taylor and Ice Spice hold the ropes makes it look like a cat face or Cheshire cat face in the sky? I thought it when i first watched the MV and cant unsee it, haha but idk if its just me. "Karma is a Cat"? Haha Oh also, just thought about how Karma follows you "step by step, from town to town" and she's been announcing and releasing re-recorded albums or hinting at them while on her Eras tour - meaning she is literally moving from "town to town" while on tour. Also like she is "reclaiming the land" when she is a part of the mountains at the end of this MV. In Bejeweled she said she can "reclaim the land", and Bejeweled is the mv with the clam shell that Ice Spice sits on in this mv. So Taylor is "reclaiming the land" of her previous albums as she moves from "town to town" like Karma does.

The stairs r 13 her favorate number

Wow!

@ Ana Richie I love your Videos. The light bulb scene reminded me instantly of the lyrics vom "Dress" on Reputation "if I get burned, at least we were electrified"😅

you should do easter eggs for lavender haze or folklore music videos 😉

I feel like the hourglass was also representing the time until speak now TV drops

Could the wizard of oz segment have anything to do with the movie being shot right now? Like appearing as a cameo or on the soundtrack?

I just want to say, about the light bulb, and u mentioned 1-3-5, i was thinking of her 1st 3rd and 5th album respectively. Since we already have a date on the speak now rerelease, maybe thwres a hint somewhere in thw video abt the sequence of the release. Or maybe im just delulu 😅

I was thinking that the black nail polish pointing to the number 2 on the clock at the end of the video is kind of a confirmation that "Karma" album was replaced by reputation because the roman numeral II is kind of like the number 11 which is the track no. of Karma the song.. Which is of course just me obsessing about Karma the lost Era..

the lightbulb scene is a 1989 easter egg as a lightbulb flashes onto the screen in the premiere section of the wildest dreams music video

We already know that 1989 is being released on October 27 (10/27). If you add the numbers from the cup that correspond with her nails 2 and 8 that is 10. To be the month October. For the release of 1989. Which she originally released on October 27,2014. The black nail for Reputation is on the 2. Maybe meaning to be released after 1989?? This album was originally released on November 10, 2017. Which might explain the following: the big hand is on the the 11 which corresponds to November, and again the 8 and 2 add up to 10 to make the date of November 10. Maybe the clock strikes to midnight meaning there will be an announcement for Reputation at midnight on November 10 or a possible release at midnight without any warning. There is also a show date for her Eras tour on November 10,2023 in Argentina. So possibly an announcement date. Or just a far stretch of the imagination 🤣

I take the wizard of oz feel from the scene from ME! The hour glass where she is on the bottom I think of “clean”.

The painting looks like the red room in the lover house

Some old clocks (especially medieval ones) just have their fours like that so I don’t think it’s something cryptic

I think she probably didn’t re-record reputation yet. She was released to do that until November 2022, so I would guess it’s not coming for awhile

Heyy you know that Aries in the reputation album? Taylor has an Aries in her sixth house in astrology, reputation is her 6th album

I think something is coming out or shes announces something on August the seventh

The start scence where taylor is supposedly referring justice or something but I think she is wearing a dress very similar to the one she wore at vma s when kanye interrupted her speech

also in the like first scene with like the kama graffiti you can see on the other side of her if you look up near the corner but not that far you can see the numbers 19 so you can think 1989 i honestly just rewatched the music video and spotted this

💜💜💜

I think the music video filmed in Liverpool is for Getaway Car and not Vigilante Sh*t

😊😊😊😊😊

8/8 Her LA Sofi show! Not the last show but second to last

Me waiting for ana richie to post a deepdive into karma's music video be like: 😅

Matty didn't work on midnights

The light bulbs could be her beautiful creations trapped and breaking free. Problem is only 5 light bulbs. Mother earth scene is finally being mother to all her creations as ice spice watch's how to navigate the industry to keep her own work. The boat could be Taylor showing support to her through it. The wizard of Oz is her starting the journey as an innocent with the deamons ready on the other side of the page who take advantage. The sand is adversity which is refining her and her creations into beautiful pearls.

Anyone else thought about the light bulb scene is a metaphor for her eventually burning out and ending her career? Same with the house glass, her time is running out…

People were saying August 7th

Taylor on the boat represents Charon - the ferryman of Hades.

There's a song on 1989 called wonderland 🤷🏻‍♀️

She adopted oilvia in 2014 the same year 1989 came out she's hinting 1989tv

0:57 first*

there were five holes in the fence

I thought Taylor said that Midnights is a visual album.... meaning a MV for every song on the track? Am I wrong or did I misunderstand this?

Ice Spice sitting on the shell represents Aphrodite

I watches if Roman number 4 is usually written like that IIII

I think the 3 hooded figures are the fates.

13 steps of stairs.. ofcourse

Anyone else see an upside down man in the clock arms of the latte?

HAS NOBODY COUNTED THE APPLES ON THE TREE COUNT THEM THERE'S 19!!! :)

Lol ♋️ is ruled by the moon and ♑️ ruled by saturn this song was for me and my ex past relationship. Don't mind me I have schizophrenia😅

Did any of you guys realise that the coffee looks like her face on the reputation cover? 😅

Umm. The 1975 refer to themselves as characters in the Wizard of OZ.

She is not dating him she is recording vualt Tarcks with him

This is all about Arianna Grande Like duh....

Your deluded Ana

The boat scene reminds me of katy Perry's song Dark horse . Its such a shame that a music video like this gets a stupid poppy song like karma

The guy who has a black hair is definitely matty healy dude ..only
