Ice Spice says she 'started crying' after hearing Taylor Swift wanted to collaborate

Life is moving fast for Ice Spice amid her meteoric rise to stardom, but one life-changing moment brought her to tears of joy.

The 24-year-old star sat down with them Today show on Friday (February 2), where he thought he had a chance to collaborate with Taylor Swift on “Karma (Remix).” Ice Spice revealed that hearing T-Swift wanted to collaborate left her in tears.

“I started crying when I heard that,” Spice said. “I said, 'No, you're lying. This is not real!' I was so moved, it was like tears of joy, of course. But, just grateful – iconic.”

“Karma (Remix)” arrived last May as part of Swift's Midnight extended version. The duo debuted the collaboration days later at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey on the Eras tour, and the rework would debut at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Swift made the phone call that working with Ice Spice made sense and reached out to the budding artist soon after hearing the “Anti-Hero” singer would be interested in working with her. Spotify said last year. The pop superstar added that she was actually already a fan of Spice and had heard her music on tour.

“Working with Ice Spice on 'Karma' was one of the most natural things,” Swift said at the time. “I was listening to it non-stop, like I was getting ready for my (Eras) ​​tour, I was just listening to Ice Spice all the time.”

Elsewhere at Ice Spice's Today interview, she opened up about her upcoming Y2K debut album, due out later this year – and teases a 'crazy collaboration'.

“Yes, there will be an album this year. It is said Y2K; it's almost finished so I'm really excited. I have a crazy collaboration that just closed two days ago,” she said while remaining tight-lipped about the mega collaboration.
