Ice Spice defended Taylor Swift after fans booed her song “Karma” at a recent festival.
Ice, 24, collaborated with Taylor, 34, on the remix of Taylor’s song “Karma” last year.
The collaboration was deemed controversial by some due to Taylor’s then-relationship with The 1975 frontman Matty Healy, who’d made offensive and racist remarks about Ice Spice on a now-deleted podcast episode.
At the time, Taylor gushed about how great it was working with Ice Spice. She said, “Collaborating with Ice Spice on ‘Karma’ was one of the most natural things. She reached out through her team, just kind of saying, ‘Hey, Ice has been a big fan of Taylor's since she was a little kid, would love to collaborate if that was ever something that came about.’”
Ever since, the pair have remained close friends, with Ice Spice joining Taylor and her BFFs at the 2024 Super Bowl back in February, and later making an appearance at the Eras Tour in May to perform “Karma.”
Over the weekend, Ice Spice performed at Rolling Loud festival in Europe.
In a viral video shared on X (formerly Twitter), Ice could be seen hitting back at audience members who booed when “Karma” started playing through the speakers.
In response, Ice Spice kept things classy and simply blew kisses to the crowd, who also made thumbs-down gestures.
