Earlier today, Ice Spice appeared on Today for an interview that covered a variety of topics for the rapper who had a massive breakthrough in 2023. It comes just a day after she appeared at Spotify’s Best New Artist party where she performed her divisive new song “Think U The Sh*t.” She’s one of two favorites alongside Victoria Monet to eventually take home the Best New Artist award at the Grammys this weekend.
Part of her meteoric rise to fame came from the collaborations she managed to pull last year. She dropped a pair of tracks with Nicki Minaj and a pair of singles with Pinkpantheress and Rema. But her biggest hit came on a remix of an already existing song. That song is “Karma” by Taylor Swift. It originally came out in 2022 on Taylor’s Midnights album before getting a remix on the project’s deluxe edition. The collaboration was a major score for Spice and the resulting song was one of many big hits Taylor had last year. During her recent interview Spice spoke on what it felt like to first hear that Taylor wanted to collaborate. Check out the interview clip below.

Ice Spice’s Initial Reaction To Collaborating With Taylor Swift
“I started crying when I heard about it. I was like, ‘No, you’re lying. That’s not real!’ I was so emotional, it was like tears of joy, of course. But, just grateful — iconic,” Ice Spice says in the clip. Spice has big plans in 2024 to follow up her breakthrough year. She announced that she has a new album called Y2K dropping later this year.
She didn’t just announce a new album though. She also confirmed that she has a “crazy” feature coming on the project.
