Several of this year’s Best New Artist nominees, including Ice Spice, have been making headlines with their recent projects. In May she collaborated with Taylor Swift for a remix of Swift’s hit “Karma.”
“I am a huge fan of this brilliant artist and after meeting her I can confirm: she is THE one to keep an eye on,” Swift, 33, wrote of Ice Spice X (formerly known as Twitter) at that time.
The collaboration took place three months after the 1975s Matty Healy was accused of making fun of the rapper during a February episode of “The Adam Friedland Show.” Swift briefly dated Healy, 34, earlier this year. Us weekly confirmed the couple had parted ways in June.
