Ice Spice Shatters Hip-Hop Streaming Record with ‘Karma (Remix)’ Featuring Taylor Swift
With her meteoric rise in the Hip-Hop scene, Ice Spice continues to conquer new heights, marking the largest streaming day of her career, thereby surpassing a previous record established by a revered rap legend.
Ice Spice, the upcoming superstar from the Bronx, engraved her name in the annals of music history with her contribution to the latest “Karma (Remix)” with none other than pop icon Taylor Swift. The track dropped last Friday (May 26), as an additional number on Swift’s album, ‘Midnights (The Til Dawn Edition).’
Chart Data reveals that Ice Spice’s latest endeavor was the most successful streaming debut for a female rapper in global Spotify history, a victory in part attributed to her collaboration with Taylor Swift. The track gathered an impressive 5.036 million streams on its launch day, earning Ice Spice the most significant single-day streaming record of her career on Spotify.
The “Karma” Remix performance even outpaced the former record set by Ice Spice’s “Princess Diana” co-artist, Nicki Minaj. Minaj’s top-charting track “Super Freaky Girl” had initially broken the record with its 3.021 million streams in its opening day in August 2022.
Sharing Chart Data’s tweet, Ice Spice expressed her gratitude to her fans, “swifties x munchkins = ♥️”.
Ice Spice’s Debut Performance of ‘Karma’ with Taylor Swift Over the weekend, Taylor Swift acknowledged Ice Spice’s noteworthy talent by inviting her to join her onstage. Their debut live performance of “Karma” was held during Swift’s concert in Jersey on Friday (May 26). The audience went into a frenzy as Swift also premiered the music video for the song featuring Ice Spice.
“Last night in Jersey was electrifying!” Swift shared on Instagram. “The roar of the stadium when Ice made her unexpected appearance was incredible.
