Ice Spice performed at the Rolling Loud Europe festival on July 7, 2024 in Vienna, Austria. During the performance, the singer played Taylor Swift's part of their collaborative song Karma through the loudspeakers and asked those in the audience who were Swifties to join in and 'make some noise'.

In response, the singer was booed by some audience members, to whom she responded by blowing kisses at them. This moment has since then gone viral and generated reactions on the internet by fans, as exemplified by the tweet below:

The reaction from fans online has been critical of the audience members who booed and generated support for the singer:

"men used to go war and now they show up to ice spice sets and hate on a woman 1,000,000 times out of their league," was the reaction to the incident from one fan.

"imagine going to an ice spice set then booing taylor swift when there collab plays. what losers," another fan reacted.

More on Ice Spice and Taylor Swift's collaboration

The singer and Taylor Swift collaborated on the Karma remix in May 2023, with the song being released on May 26, 2023, as part of the extended Midnights album release. The original video released at the same time also featured the singer alongside Swift as cosmic deities. The collaboration also led to the singer subsequently appearing on Swift's Eras tour.

Taylor Swift elaborated on the collaboration with Ice Spice on the single in an exclusive interview with Spotify in May 2023:

"Collaborating with Ice Spice on ‘Karma’ was one of the most natural things. She reached out through her team, just kind of saying, ‘Hey, you know, Ice has been a big fan of Taylor’s since she was a little kid, we’d love to collaborate if that was ever something that came about.’ "

The singer continued:

"And 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 want to do your version of “Karma,” do you relate to this?’ And so she jumped in headfirst."

The collaboration had drawn criticism at the time as an alleged attempt to distract from Taylor Swift's relationship with Matt Healy even after he made racist and derogatory comments against Ice Spice and others on the Adam Friedland Show podcast in February 2023.
