The story of Taylor Swift and Ice Spice’s friendship begins after the Dominican rapper saw “Miss Americana,” a revealing documentary in which Taylor Swift embraces her role as a songwriter and performer. “What I took away from Taylor’s documentary is you really do need to work hard, and not everything is going to be as easy as it seems,” Ice Spice told Variety. “My manager heard me talking about that and had reached out to her team, and then they had a song for me.”
Musical Collaboration
The duo collaborated and released their first Song together. The track, a remix of “Karma,” was accompanied by a music video. “We went to the studio, and she’s so humble and so nice. I kid you not. I pulled up to the studio, and she outside waiting for me,” Ice Spice revealed to Apple Music’s Zane Lowe. “I’m like, ‘Why is Taylor Swift outside?’ Like, ‘Taylor, what are you doing here?’ So she’s great. She’s so funny.”
