Ice Spice’s career continues to soar. She took the stage at Saturday Night Live and left her mark on Studio 8H.
Hypebeast is reporting that the Bronx, New York, native made her SNL debut this past weekend. Hosted by alumni, and what seems to be a forever enemy to Kanye West, Pete Davidson, the episode was the launch to the iconic series’ 49th season. While the American late-night live television sketch show didn’t produce any comedic moments that have since gone viral, it seems the crowd was ready to see the “Bikini Bottom” rapper do her thing.

During her first set Ice Spice performed “In Ha Mood” while being backed by two female dancers. She breezed through the song while teasing her signature assets via a cropped t-shirt and high-cut denim shorts. For her second performance she was introduced by none other than Taylor Swift. The “I Knew You Would Be Trouble” singer was in the house to support her boyfriend Travis Kelce who contributed to an earlier sketch. From there Ice Spice brought her newest single “Pretty Girl” to life with help from Nigerian singer songwriter Rema.
Earlier this year the MC released the deluxe version to her Like..? EP. She would then go on to work with Dunkin’ for an “Ice Spice Munchkins Drink.” You can watch Ice Spice’s Saturday Night Live sets below.

“I’m Just Ken” got a funny new twist on SNL Saturday night (Oct. 14), thanks to host Pete Davidson. The former cast member performed his own version of Ken’s rock ballad from the Barbie soundtrack on the season 49 premiere, which finally arrived after the Writers Guild of America and the Alliance of Motion Picture […]
Love was in the air at the Saturday Night Live afterparty. After weeks of a rumored romance between Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce, the pair all but confirmed their budding relationship by arriving hand in hand for the post-show bash at Catch Steak in New York City early Sunday morning (Oct. 15) following the iconic […]
Travis Kelce returned to Saturday Night Live for the season 49 premiere on Oct. 14 for a hilarious cameo in a sketch poking fun at the NFL’s coverage of his rumored relationship with Taylor Swift.
The “Fox NFL Sunday” skit features SNL cast members Kenan Thompson (playing Curt Menefee), Mikey Day (Howie Long), Molly Kearney (Terry Bradshaw), James Austin Johnson (Jimmy Johnson), Devon Walker (Michael Strahan) and host Pete Davidson parodying the NFL’s obsessive coverage of Swift attending Kansas City Chiefs games in recent weeks.
“Let’s get into the game and stop yapping about Taylor and her little boyfriend,” Thompson’s Menefee says, prompting a conversation from the other broadcasters about the rumored couple’s relationship status.
“Whatever it is, I want to say to Travis Kelce, from one Super Bowl champion to another, this is a way bigger deal than the Super Bowl. You cannot mess this up. This is very delicate!” Walker’s Strahan says, pounding his finger on the desk.
After more banter about Swift’s past boyfriends and her appearances at the games, the Chiefs tight end appears when Thompson’s Menefee demands to speak to “someone who actually wants to talk football.” The camera cuts to Kelce standing on the sidelines and responding, “Yes, please!” with a big smile on his face. Kelce previously hosted SNL in March 2023.
Prior to Kelce’s surprise appearance, Swift made a cameo of her own to help introduce the evening’s musical guest, Ice Spice. “Once again, Ice Spice,” the pop superstar announced before flashing a mischievous smile and walking off the stage.
On Saturday evening, Kelce and Swift were photographed holding hands while heading to dinner at Nobu in New York City. Rumors of a romance between the pair have been swirling since Swift was seen attending sitting next to Kelce’s mother during the Chiefs-Bears game on Sept. 24.
Watch Kelce’s cameo in SNL‘s “Fox NFL Sunday” sketch below. For those without cable, the broadcast streams on Peacock, which you can sign up for at the link here. Having a Peacock account also gives fans access to previous SNL episodes as well.

Ice Spice’s stranglehold of 2023 continues.
Ice Spice will be shakin ass, but not in a deli. Instead, it will be on SNL’s stage when the show returns for its 49th season on October 14.
The iconic NBC sketch comedy show confirmed the Bronx princess and arguably one of Hip-Hop’s hottest acts will be the musical guest of the season premiere that will see OG cast member Pete Davidson return as a host.
Ironically, there was a rumor that Ice Spice joined the elite roster of women who fell for Davidson’s “charm,” but TMZ confirmed that the comedian/actor was not munching on Hip-Hop Annie.
Ice Spice continues to rise on the Hip-Hop charts with her single Deli and is coming off a colossal MTV VMAs win.
Davidson is fresh from starring in the recent films Transformers: Rise of The Beasts and Dumb Money and saw his NBC Peacock show Bupkis get a second season.
SNL’s 49th season returns after the writer’s strike-shortened season 48. According to Deadline, all of the cast, which includes Michael Che, Mikey Day, Andrew Dismukes, Chloe Fineman, Heidi Gardner, Punkie Johnson, Colin Jost, Ego Nwodim, Kenan Thompson, and Bowen Yang, are returning.
Chloe Troast has been added to the cast that also sees James Austin Johnson and Sarah Sherman earn promotions from being featured players to repertory status this season.
Ice Spice is not the only huge musical act SNL can boast for Season 49. Bad Bunny will follow up, and he will also be hosting the following week on October 21.
