On Friday night, Taylor Swift dropped the music video for the “Karma” remix featuring Ice Spice. Because she’s Taylor Swift, there are a bunch of hidden details and Easter eggs.

2. Butterflies then fly from out of the record player. The colors are blue, mint, and violet — which are all associated with upcoming re-recordings Debut, Speak Now, and 1989.

3. In the next scene, one fan pointed out that Taylor references Nemesis, the goddess of retribution:

Our first symbol is Nemesis, which couldn’t be a more accurate representation of Karma. Nemesis is the Greek goddess of retribution or revenge. She is the symbol of pine justice and an avenger of crime. She is often depicted holding scales. pic.twitter.com/4EEutPXQNk

4. The bottom of the golden Taylor statue has “MCMLXXXIX” in roman numerals — aka 1989!

6. Several fans, including YouTuber @ShineOnMedia, pointed out how in the back of that scene, “Karma” is written in graffiti. This is a callback to the “The Man,” video, where “Karma” was also on the wall in graffiti with the rest of her albums.

This led to a theory that Karma was a scrapped album we never got.

7. This fan pointed out how the column in the back looks like the Empire State Building, aka a 1989 reference:

11. Twitter user TSThink13 pointed out how the shell Ice Spice is in was a callback to the locket in the “Bejeweled” music video:

12. Toward the end, there are three light bulbs, then there are five, which could signify how the re-record for her fifth album, 1989, follows the confirmed re-record for her third album, Speak Now.
