Dominican American rapper Ice Spice just gave us the ultimate scoop about her superstar friends Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce. The 25-year-old Bronx native (real name Isis Gaston) was all smiles on the orange carpet at the 2025 Kids’ Choice Awards on June 21, where she caught up with Entertainment Tonight and dished on her famous besties.
“They’re really, really funny,” Ice Spice revealed when asked what might surprise fans about the A-list couple. “They’re probably some of my funniest friends,” she added. “They’re funny, you guys. That’s the scoop. They’re like us.”
From Studio Collabs to Super Bowl Hangouts
Ice Spice knows the Swift-Kelce duo well; she’s been hanging with them on and off the stage for quite a while. The rapper famously teamed up with Swift in 2023 for the “Karma” remix, which gave fans one of the year’s hottest pop-rap crossovers.
Since then, their bond has only grown. Ice Spice has been spotted supporting her pop superstar friend at two Super Bowls — 2024 and 2025 — where Kelce’s Kansas City Chiefs took the field.
And the friendship isn’t one-sided. When Ice Spice made her Saturday Night Live debut in October 2023 as a musical guest, Swift introduced her in person. Even better? Kelce jumped into a hilarious skit, poking fun at the media frenzy around their relationship.

The Business-Savvy Bond
It’s no secret that Ice Spice and Swift have clicked on more than just a personal level. The rapper opened up about their friendship in a Rolling Stone cover story back in July 2024, saying their personalities mesh “really well.”
Swift, in turn, has praised Ice Spice’s business smarts. “I love when I meet a new artist who takes a keen interest in not just the music, but the music industry and how it works,” Swift told Rolling Stone.

And clearly, that drive is paying off. Swift even brought Ice Spice out on stage during one of her blockbuster Eras Tour stops, and the pair reunited again at Coachella 2024, where Swift and Kelce were spotted cheering her on.
They’re Just Like Us… Kinda
Sure, they’re global megastars, but according to Ice Spice, Swift and Kelce are refreshingly down-to-earth and funny.
For now, the scoop is simple: Taylor, Travis, and Ice Spice are having the time of their lives.
