About this listen
Ice Spice has delivered a headline-making week defined by both professional highs and viral personal drama. Just days ago, she joined Taylor Swift on stage at MetLife Stadium during the Eras Tour residency, thrilling fans with their debut live performance of the Karma remix. That collaboration—featured on Taylor’s Midnights The Til Dawn Edition—and its new video quickly trended, with fans hunting for clues about Swift’s next re-records. The cross-generational pop union immediately generated widespread acclaim, cementing Ice Spice’s status as a crossover artist able to command both rap and pop audiences. On social media, clips of their performance and behind-the-scenes moments spiked, with Ice’s following surging as Swifties adopted her as an honorary member of their fandom, according to KGSR.
While her star exploded on the stage, her love life was trending for entirely different reasons. The rumors of a romance with New York Jets cornerback Sauce Gardner hit a peak when the two made things “Instagram official” with a mirror selfie posted to her account. Their joint appearance at the 2025 Vanity Fair Oscar Party added to the buzz, with outlets like The Hollywood Gossip labeling them a new power couple blending sports and music. However, within days, Media Take Out reported the relationship had abruptly ended, with a source close to Ice claiming she dumped Gardner for being “corny”—a breakup delivered with comedic bluntness and social media proof, namely, Ice scrubbing all photos of Gardner. Speculation about a rekindling of her friendship or more with her longtime producer RiotUSA began to swirl after fans noticed more frequent collaborations and subtle online interactions, but neither side has confirmed anything beyond a working relationship.
Amidst the personal headlines, Ice Spice has also been fighting off tabloid rumors about her appearance, particularly whispers of Ozempic usage. She addressed these rumors head-on, publicly sharing workout videos that show her hitting the gym hard and dismissing speculation about weight-loss drugs, as covered by Healthspan at UC Irvine. There are currently no new headline tours or festival bookings on the calendar according to SeatPick, making these last few days a notable pause between major touring cycles.
To sum it up: Ice Spice’s week has seen her ride a wave of mainstream acceptance and musical visibility, complicated by the rapid rise and fizzle of a public romance, and capped with strategic, self-produced social media moments reinforcing both her superstar persona and personal agency.
