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.’”
