Taylor Swift features on Ice Spice’s new album?

When asked about the ongoing speculations by fans about Taylor’s feature on the album, Ice said, “I don’t know, let’s see, let’s see, let’s see.” She did not deny the possibility of the Lover singer’s presence in her upcoming album. The two collaborated last year and Swift has been a big supporter of the rapper since then.

Collaboration story behind the remix version of Karma
In 2023, Taylor explained, in a Spotify audio snippet, how the two came on board for the remix version of the former’s song. The conversation started when Ice’s team reached out to the Folklore singer to if she would be interested in a collaboration anytime soon. Taylor had been a fan of the Grammy-nominated rapper’s songs, so when the opportunity presented itself, the 34-year-old singer grabbed it with no second thought. “So I immediately got her number and said, ‘Hey, would you wanna do your version of ‘Karma’? Do you relate to this?’ So she jumped in headfirst”, Taylor said and the rest is history.
Ice is also preparing for her Y2K world tour ahead of her album drop.
