"Bro, this is not real life" — Ice Spice elaborated on her reaction when she was told about Taylor Swift's collaboration offer

Ice Spice revealed that she was in her first New Jersey apartment with her producer Riot when her manager suddenly called and gave her the news.

Initially, the rapper thought that he was calling to say something bad. When she finally got the news, the rapper tried her level best to keep calm and act "super cool." However, the moment she hung up, the rapper started shouting and crying out of jubilation.

“He’s [Ice's amanager] like, ‘Taylor Swift has a record for you to get on from her album.’ I’m playing it cool on the phone. I’m like, ‘Oh, that’s cool. Super cool.’ And then I hang up the phone, and I’m hysterically crying. I’m in my walk-in closet, and I’m like, ‘Bro, this is not real life.’ Riot definitely filmed it. That’ll probably be in a documentary one day.”

Ice Spice also took the opportunity to shut down the critics and netizens who opined that Taylor wanted to gain clout by riding on Spice's newfound popularity and therefore collaborated with her. The rapper explained that their personalities match and Taylor is her friend.

Furthermore, she was impressed by Spice's interest in diving deep into the nuances of the music industry and not just restricting herself to the creative aspect of her art.

“I’ve seen how our industry tries to convince artists that they’re better off just being creative and making music and letting the labels and the management do the rest. Seeing Ice lean into the strategic, financial, and business aspects of her career is really exciting for me."

The Midnights singer ended her comments by summarizing the rapper's professional outlook in one line. According to Taylor, Ice didn't just want to be the passenger of her career, she aspired to be the driver of it.
