Taylor Swift revealed that Ice Spice’s music helped her prepare for her Eras Tour earlier this year. When Ice Spice reached out to Swift about collaborating, they created a remix of the song “Karma,” which they performed together as a surprise during one of Swift’s concerts.
“I want to explain how this came about because it just felt like karma or fate or something,” Swift said during her first of three nights at the MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. “I got reached out to by Ice Spice…what she didn’t know at the time is that…I was listening to pretty much exclusively just her music every single day, all day and getting in the zone to tour”- according to The Hollywood Reporters.
She continued, “I’ve been around so many artists and so many artists that are starting out, but I’ve never been around someone who is that prepared and curious and focused on what she wants. So I was absolutely blown away.”
Spice and Swift closed the show as fans screamed loudly during the performance. Spice has had a breakthrough year, recently reaching the Top 5 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart with the hits “Boy’s a Liar Pt. 2” with PinkPantheress and “Princess Diana” with Nicki Minaj.
Swift has released four albums — Lover, Folklore, Evermore and Midnights — since her last tour, which took place in 2018.
She said while she was home during the pandemic when the concert business shut down and the music industry questioned if live performances would recover, she decided to write and record a ton of music.
