Ice Spice also took to Instagram to announce their new song. She described Taylor as the "coolest person on earth".
Their fans can't wait to hear their new single and watch them perform the song live. "Wow can’t wait for this," one fan wrote.
The pair's paths have crossed onstage before. Ice Spice presented Taylor with the 'Song Of The Year' award at the iHeartRadio Music Awards in March. T-Swift won for her his single, 'Anti-Hero'.

News of the pair's collaboration was met with some side-eye. Taylor is currently dating Matty Healy - a member of The 1975.
He came under fire earlier this year for laughing at a racist joke made about Ice Spice on 'The Adam Friedland Show' podcast.
Co-hosts, Nick Mullen and Adam Friedland, said "she's like an Inuit Spice Girl" and “this chubby Chinese lady". Matty apologised soon after the incident.

While many are surprised that Ice Spice agreed to collab with Taylor after the Matty incident, the rapper's fans are thrilled that she gets to work with one of music's biggest superstars so soon in her career.
She rose to stardom in 2022 thanks to her song, 'Munch (Feelin' U)', which became a viral hit on TikTok.
Some of her fans include Kim Kardashian and her daughter North West. Ice Spice also featured in a campaign for Kim's 'SKIMS' shapewear line.
She also recently collaborated with Nicki Minaj on 'Princess Diana'.
