When it comes to Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce, fans have seen plenty of headlines about stadium dates, touchdown kisses, and red carpet glamour.
But there’s one side of this superstar couple that’s not often talked about, and rapper Ice Spice just gave us a rare peek behind the curtain.
At the 2025 Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards, the “Barbie World” rapper was asked to reveal something surprising about her good friend Taylor and the pop star’s NFL boyfriend. Her response? Not what anyone expected.

The Funniest Couple? Ice Spice Thinks So
In a chat with Entertainment Tonight, Ice Spice couldn’t help but gush over Swift and Kelce, calling them not just adorable but downright hilarious.
“They’re really, really funny,” she said with a knowing smile. “They’re probably some of my funniest friends. They’re funny, you guys. That’s the scoop. They’re like us.”
It’s not every day you hear someone compare Taylor Swift, one of the world’s most famous entertainers, and Travis Kelce, an NFL superstar, to everyday friends, but Ice Spice insists that’s the magic of their dynamic. Behind the scenes, they’re goofy, relatable, and absolutely down-to-earth.
How Ice Spice and Swift Became BFFs
Before spilling the tea on Taylor’s love life, Ice Spice took a moment to reflect on her own friendship with the singer. Their bond goes back to 2020 when the two connected after Ice watched Swift’s documentary Miss Americana. From there, the friendship blossomed into something more than just mutual admiration.
“That’s my sis,” Ice Spice told Variety in 2020. By 2023, they were in the studio together working on the remix of Karma, a track that blended their signature styles and made headlines across the music world.
The connection between them wasn’t just professional. They genuinely clicked.
“Why would she not want to be my friend?” Ice Spice told Rolling Stone in an interview published in July 2024. “Taylor, with me. She’s so funny. I think our personalities mesh really well.”

Swift has echoed that same affection and respect, highlighting just how real their bond is beyond the public eye.
“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 said in the same Rolling Stone piece. “Seeing Ice lean into the strategic, financial, and business aspects of her career is really exciting for me.”
She added, “I knew based on the questions she asked and the observations she made that she didn’t just want to be a passenger in her own career. She wanted to be the driver of it.”
Navigating Football, One Cheer at a Time
One of the more hilarious and relatable stories Ice Spice shared came from her experience at the 2024 Super Bowl. Swift had invited her to join her private suite to watch Kelce’s Kansas City Chiefs take on the San Francisco 49ers. And while the world was glued to the game, Ice Spice was admittedly… completely lost.
“I was incredibly confused. I’m still confused,” she said during an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon last July. “I did not have a clue what was happening.”
How did she cope? She simply watched Taylor.
“I honestly would just wait until Taylor cheered, and then I’m like, ‘Yay!’” she laughed.
Despite not knowing the difference between a touchdown and a turnover, Ice Spice has continued to support her bestie at games and events. Even when the Chiefs lost to the Philadelphia Eagles, she showed up for her bestie, proving that friendship comes before football.
The Critics Were Wrong About Their Bond
Of course, with two famous women forming a close friendship, some were quick to speculate that Ice Spice’s relationship with Swift was all about exposure. But the rapper has no time for that kind of judgment.
“Why would she not want to be my friend?” she repeated defiantly in the Rolling Stone interview. To her, the idea that their friendship could be purely strategic was not only false but also downright rude.
Both women have clearly found something special in each other, a connection that goes beyond the music or the media spotlight. Whether they’re swapping jokes, navigating Super Bowl confusion, or collaborating in the studio, their relationship feels sincere and grounded.
Taylor and Travis: Just Like Us?
So, what’s the final takeaway from Ice Spice’s sweet insight? Despite the fame, the stadium tours, and the championship rings, Taylor and Travis are just a couple of funny, down-to-earth people, at least according to someone who’s seen them up close.
They’re the kind of couple who crack jokes, cheer each other on, and make their friends feel like family. It’s the kind of genuine affection that fans love to imagine behind all the paparazzi flashes and tabloid headlines.
In a world where celebrity relationships often feel overly polished or scripted, it’s refreshing to hear that Taylor and Travis are, as Ice Spice puts it, “like us.”
