Karma Was Originally a Scrapped Album Title
Fans have long theorized that an album called 'Karma' was planned between 1989 and Reputation but scrapped after the Kanye/Kim feud. When 'Karma' appeared as a Midnights track, fans saw it as Taylor finally reclaiming the concept.
Evidence
There is a gap of nearly three years between 1989 (October 2014) and Reputation (November 2017)
Taylor's friend Todrick Hall was photographed in a studio with a whiteboard that appeared to show 'Karma' as an album title
The Reputation prologue hints at plans that changed: 'When this album comes out, gossip blogs will scour the lyrics for the names of ex-boyfriends'
The Midnights track 'Karma' includes the line 'Karma is my boyfriend' — fans read this as Taylor saying karma replaced whatever the album would have been
No official confirmation from Taylor or her team
