Ice Spice and Taylor Swift have developed quite the friendship since collaborating earlier this year.

The newcomer teamed up with Taylor in May for the latter’s record-breaking single “Karma.” Soon thereafter, the ladies performed it together when Taylor brought Ice out at one of her New Jersey tour stops. Then they then sat together at the MTV Video Music Awards.

In an interview with Variety published on September 28, Ice Spice explained how the collab happened, and what they talked about as they giggled the night away at the VMAs.

“That’s my sis. We was talking about a bunch of things,” she said. “She’s so funny. We was sipping on a little something something. Just chatting, vibing.”

As for the collab, it happened after Ice expressed her enthusiasm about Swift’s 2020 documentary Miss Americana to her team.

“What I took away from Taylor’s documentary is you really do need to work hard, and not everything is going to be as easy as it seems,” she said. “And my manager heard me talking about that and had reached out to her team, and then they had a song for me.”

Taylor Swift had nothing but kind things to say in return, telling Variety:

“I relate to Ice in many ways, but I think her dedication and focus is what blew me away from the very start,” she said. “She’s extremely professional without being cold. Playful and fun without ever taking her eye off the prize. She knows what is and isn’t ‘her’ and sets those boundaries with grace. She studies the industry and other artists’ careers but is very clear about charting her own definitive, original path. It’s her ability to carefully find that balance that impresses the hell out of me.”
