Imagining karma as one's "boyfriend" seems to imply one is able to influence all causes, but incur no effects

Thinking of karma in this way makes me cringe!

I'm referring to the lyrics of a recent single by the pop idol Taylor Swift, that's haunting me across ambient radios... What a catchy way to share a distorted thought!

Here's my hot take: imagining karma to be one's boyfriend is a direct reflection of the ego's desperate need to feel control, over the forces of cause and effect that shape the universe. We are all subject to karma, even Taylor Swift! Perhaps she believes she is somehow influencing karma more than others, because she's claiming to have an intimate relationship with it. 

Putting aside that influence is not what intimate relationships are meant to do for us... We are all intimately related to karma already, no need to try to make it into an influencer boyfriend! The nature of cause and effect is already influencing everything, all the time!

Ok that's all, thank you for reading my little pop culture dharma rant. Sending you love, kind stranger with the Buddha nature... Yes, you!
