By the release of her seventh album, "Lover," in 2019, Swift was still dropping Easter eggs for "Karma" enthusiasts. In her self-directed music video for "The Man," which was released in 2020, Swift staged a scene that lives in every Swiftie's head rent free. This infamous scene features a subway station wall covered in graffiti of all her album titles. Fans frequently reference this moment in the video, especially since they believe it tells us the order that we'll get her rerecordings. But right there in the middle of the screen (and all of her album titles) is the word "karma" written in all caps. By including this word among all her other albums, fans only became more convinced that "Karma" was real. Why else would it be there?
In addition to this, "Karma" is written on the wall twice, along with "1989." For this reason, fans think that "1989" and "Karma" could be a double-album release. "Karma" is also written in orange in its second iteration, which fans traced back to a scene in "LWYMMD" when Swift is dressed in orange and trapped in a birdcage, suggesting that there was something trapped.
