TOKYO — Chili Fujii held a ream of 500 papers outside of the Tokyo Dome on night two of the 2024 Eras Tour. The Japanese fan with a VIP lanyard planned to distribute the pieces of paper to concertgoers with floor seats. On each sheet were the words, "Karma is the queen on the stage!!"

"This is our fan project surprise for Taylor," Fujii said. "She sang, 'Karma is the guy on the Chiefs' and we changed the lyrics and we'll show these all four nights in Tokyo."

A QR code in the corner of the sheet led fans to a linktree website with instructions in Japanese and English, a printable banner and a video explainer. The mission is to hold one side of the paper up for the show closing song, "Karma," and then hold the other side up, "We'll stand by you forever," during Swift's song "Long Live."

When asked what she would say to the superstar if she had the chance, Fujii became overwhelmed with happy tears and said, "I really, really love you Taylor." She gave permission to post the emotional video on TikTok hoping Swift or her team would see it.

Swift has two more nights in Tokyo before heading to Melbourne, Australia, for stop two of the 2024 leg of the Eras Tour.
