Ice Spice just defended Taylor Swift when her song was booed

Ice Spice’s friendship with the star blossomed when the pair collaborated on a remix of Swift’s 2022 single “Karma” in 2023. At the time, Swift raved about how great it was to work with Ice Spice. In a statement at the time, she said: “Collaborating with Ice Spice on ‘Karma’ was one of the most natural things. She reached out through her team and just said, ‘Hey, Ice has been a huge fan of Taylor’s since she was a kid and would love to collaborate if it ever happens.'”

They have remained close friends since then, and Ice Spice accompanied Swift to the 2024 Super Bowl in February, along with Blake Lively, a longtime member of Swift’s squad. Ice Spice was also invited to perform the remix of “Karma” with Swift at one of the New Jersey concerts of the Eras Tour in May 2024.
