Karma is ______ <\/p>\n

a) a cat<\/p>\n

b) a bitch<\/p>\n

c) my kink<\/p>\n

We love<\/em> the idea of karma. We are addicted to it. All things considered, the current definition of karma is: \u201cWhen good things happen because you did something good,\u201d or \u201cWhen bad things happen because you definitely<\/em> didn\u2019t do anything bad\u201d. Alongside this generation\u2019s obsession with vibes, energies, and alignments, karma is revenge\u2019s best friend. It comes for everyone, apparently. The only people more obsessed with karma than the people who wholly believe in its power are\u2026musicians. <\/p>\n

According to Taylor Swift, karma is \u201ca cat,\u201d \u201cher boyfriend,\u201d and \u201ca god.\u201d In her song, \u201cKarma,\u201d Swift claims that karma is a relaxing thought, implying through the entire song that she has made it this far in her career by only doing good deeds. She thanks karma for how far she\u2019s come, for her current standing, because karma and karma alone is the reason Taylor Swift has amassed her fame. Because she kept her side of the street clean, and has learned so much from years of trials and tribulation, Taylor Swift is owed nothing but good karma. <\/p>\n

I\u2019m sorry but, why is she thanking karma? <\/p>\n

And what is karma? Is it a cat? Is it supposed<\/em> to be a cat?<\/p>\n

Karma is first referred to in the Upani\u1e63ads<\/em><\/span><\/a>, a selection of Sanskrit texts, penned between c. 800 and 300 BCE in India. Within the text, karma is referred to as a moral code of conduct, \u201cIf one should desire to live in this world a hundred years, one should live performing Karma (righteous deeds). Thus thou mayest live; there is no other way. By doing this, Karma (the fruits of thy actions) will not defile thee.\u201d In this selection, it’s easy to see where modern interpretations of what \u201ckarma\u201d is bleeds through. It implies that karma is a living, breathing force, keeping tabs on do-gooders, measuring our worth and judging us constantly. If we do righteous deeds, we can even live to be 100 years old. Sounds promising, right? <\/p>\n

Beyond this initial definition of karma from Upani\u1e63ads, <\/em>karma continues to rear its \u201cmystical\u201d head in popular culture. Karmic Justice is a rare, playable card<\/span><\/a> in Magic: The Gathering<\/em>, karma is used in movies, TV shows, music, etc, furthering the narrative that karma is everywhere. When used in song, there is an inescapable quality applied to karma, that not only is it everywhere, but it\u2019s coming for each of us in its own way. <\/p>\n

The internet has been buzzing about the upcoming release of Jojo Siwa\u2019s single, \u201cKARMA<\/span><\/a>.\u201d The general consensus is that \u201cKARMA\u201d is going to be bad, incredibly bad at that. In Siwa\u2019s attempt to rebrand as an adult artist who makes adult music, she has taken on an over-the-top, \u201cbad girl\u201d persona. \u201cKARMA\u201d is one track off of Siwa\u2019s pending album, a new era that is explicitly not suitable for children. Siwa\u2019s instagram page is being overtaken by grid posts, photos of Siwa debuting her bedazzled, \u201cdark Jojo\u201d look, and so many snippets of the single that you could listen to the whole thing just by scrolling through her recent posts. Among the waves of hate comments and criticism leveled against Siwa\u2019s singing, dancing, and general existence, there has been mild speculation over who \u201cKARMA\u201d is about. When Siwa\u2019s relationship with Avery Cyrus (famous for her hobbies and being skinny-fit), was confirmed to be over, onlookers speculated why the two had broken up. Since \u201cKARMA\u201d is all about lying, betrayal, and most importantly, cheating, any sympathy left for the TikTok famous lesbians is suddenly revoked. In the lyrics to \u201cKARMA\u201d, Siwa seems to directly confess to cheating on an unnamed ex-partner. In one of the released verses, Siwa claims, \u201cAnother late night, another crazy mood \/ And I didn’t think twice about what it would do to you\u201d as well as, \u201cThou shall not lie, thou shall not cheat \/ Thou shall not get caught or you’ll end up just like me\u201d in the refrain. She then goes on to say that karma is in fact a bitch, and that \u201cShe\u2019s with you right now.\u201d <\/p>\n

If it isn\u2019t clear already, let me say it louder. <\/p>\n

THAT\u2019S NOT KARMA!<\/p>\n

The Upani\u1e63ads <\/em>states that:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\n \u201c<\/span>Karma here means actions performed without selfish motive, for the sake of the Lord alone. When a man performs actions clinging blindly to his lower desires, then his actions bind him to the plane of ignorance or the plane of birth and death; but when the same actions are performed with surrender to God, they purify and liberate him.\u201d<\/span>\n <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/figure>\n

\n

Jojo Siwa\u2019s actions outlined in \u201cKARMA\u201d fall in line with actions bound to a plane of ignorance, and the act of boasting about her \u201cbad karma\u201d only makes matters worse. If \u201cKARMA\u201d is Siwa\u2019s way of coping with struggling after a public break-up, that\u2019d be one thing, but that isn\u2019t the case at all. Like Teri Uktena states in her article, \u201cKarmic Justice,\u201d \u201cCurrently we struggle with the notion of justice and how to get it.\u201d We use the word karma when we describe feeling out-of-control, scorned by the universe, powerless and left to the faceless devices of elements beyond our power. Much like AAVE being referred to as \u201cinternet slang,\u201d karma has become  associated with white, secular spirituality. Used alongside other faux-spiritual vernacular that people use to justify their skepticism, not a day online (or offline) goes by without someone saying, \u201cHe has a bad vibe, I don\u2019t trust him\u201d or, \u201cPeople don\u2019t like me because they can\u2019t handle my energy\u201d. The use of karma in songwriting is yet another example of confusing a feeling for a phenomenon. <\/p>\n

Relating this back to Taylor Swift\u2019s song, \u201cKarma,\u201d Swift is guilty, not of misusing the word, but failing to understand where her success comes from. When Midnights<\/em> (2022) was released, the internet was abuzz over Swift\u2019s \u201cI\u2019m still standing\u201d mentality. Against all odds, Taylor Swift did it! She amassed a massive audience, hundreds of millions listeners, all because of one album! She did all the work herself, even though every system of oppression was against her, even though she is a multi-millionaire white woman, who once equated hating her music to homophobia. And it was all thanks to\u2026karma? <\/p>\n

I started this article with the intention of understanding why an artist like Taylor Swift would dodge the privilege bullet, instead claiming that karma is the reason for her success. Rather than her wealth, her whiteness, her preexisting, near two-decade career, (all while profiting off of re-recording massively successful albums) what does karma have to do with any of this? Again, in the Upani\u1e63ads, <\/em>\u201cAs long as we need someone to prove Truth to us, we have not found it.\u201d <\/p>\n

Taylor Swift is desperate for her fans to believe that she deserves everything she has. Through re-recording her albums, playing the \u201cautonomy\u201d card and releasing vault tracks, Swift has crafted a narrative that nobody has it harder than her, but in turn, nobody is more graceful about navigating their fame than she is. In Anika Sapra\u2019s article, \u201cTaylor Swift, White Feminism, and the Illusion of Inclusivity<\/span><\/a>,\u201d Sapra hones in on Swift\u2019s brand of selective inclusivity, \u201cOften, the issues that white women face don\u2019t overlap with the experiences of women of color, and our needs are left behind in favor of theirs.\u201d Vulture<\/em>, the DailyMail<\/em> for millennials, released an article<\/span><\/a> in collaboration with Dr. Sarah Jacoby, associate professor of religious studies, with a concentration in Buddhism at Northwestern University, over the use of karma in \u201cKarma.\u201d Jacoby and the author, Justin Curto, have nothing but good things to say about the track. While the entire article is focused on breaking down the art of \u201cKarma,\u201d and the mastermind behind lyrics such as \u201cflexing like a goddamn acrobat,\u201d there are a few moments where Jacoby expresses skepticism for the liberal use of karmic justice. Jacoby states that in the case of Taylor Swift, <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\n \u201c<\/span>Karma is actually not at all a relaxing thought […], because it means that negative acts, in that they\u2019re harmful to others, will cause you pain and suffering in return. The only way you could think that karma is a relaxing thought is if you know you haven\u2019t done anything wrong and you haven\u2019t treated anyone badly and you\u2019ve been ethical and virtuous in your dealings with people.\u201d<\/span>\n <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/figure>\n

\n

Misuse of karma aside, the implication that Taylor Swift has never done anything wrong is a pretty serious claim, even more serious when it\u2019s coming from Swift herself. <\/p>\n

The obsession with karma is habitual, and even understandable, to an extent. But according to the Upani\u1e63ads,<\/em> it\u2019s actually unhealthy. In regards to the case of Jojo Siwa versus karma, the verdict is that her obsession with her \u201cbad karma\u201d will only make matters worse. The Upani\u1e63ads <\/em>states that \u201c[…] the outside world will always be full of shadows for us; but when that light is found, the whole universe glows with its radiance. Then all the chains of Karma past, present and future are shattered, and the soul enjoys perfect freedom.\u201d Karma is a shackle. It binds the soul and the being to the past, as constantly reminiscing over what has<\/em> happened to you. Whether it\u2019s Jojo Siwa obsessing over her ex-girlfriend for press, or Taylor Swift calling her privilege something it\u2019s not, I urge you all to find your light. Try to avoid blaming karma for everything, or doing good deeds because you\u2019re hoping to get something out of it. <\/p>\n

\u201cThis self cannot be attained by one who is devoid of strength, or by one who is unmindful, or by one whose austerity is without renunciation.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
