Ice Spice defends Taylor Swift from haters
In a video clip of the incident that has been making rounds on the internet, the crowd can be seen putting up thumbs-down gestures and booing Swift’s song. Despite the disrespect from the audience, Ice Spice kept her calm and threw shade at them by blowing a kiss.
As the video clip of the incident at the music festival went viral on social media, fans praised Ice Spice for standing up for Swift. One fan wrote on X, formerly Twitter, “this is how you end haters.” One more fan said, “mother is unbothered as she should,” while another wrote, “Ice kept it classy cuz they’re weird for that..”
Karma was originally released as the third single from Swift’s 2022 album, Midnights. She teamed up with the Deli rapper for a remix version of the song, which was released a year later. “Collaborating with Ice Spice on ‘Karma’ was one of the most natural things,” Swift said at the time.
The Cruel Summer hitmaker continued, “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.’ ”
“I had been listening to her nonstop, like getting ready for my tour, I was just listening to Ice Spice constantly. 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,” she added.
