Later in the interview, the rapper was told that both Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce were nominees at the award show. The interviewer then asked Spice to share something about the couple that might be unknown to most fans. For the unversed, both Kelce and Swift were nominated in two categories each.
When asked about the couple, Ice Spice said:
"Well, they're really, really funny. They're probably some of my funniest friends... Yeah, they're like us."
Travis Kelce was nominated for the Favorite Male Sports Star and Favorite Podcast categories, while Taylor was nominated for Favorite Female Artist and Favorite Song.
Elsewhere in the conversation, the rapper showed off her Bikini Bottoms-inspired nails, which she said took four hours to create. When asked how she wanted to celebrate the day, Ice Spice responded:
"Well, you know, it's the Kids' Choice Awards, so we're gonna just throw some confetti in the air and do a little twirl."
During the interview, the rapper was also asked about her upcoming projects. She revealed that she is in the process of releasing new music and urged her fans to follow her on TikTok to stay updated. Ice Spice also made a reference to her upcoming film.
Ice Spice and Regina Hall have reportedly joined the voice cast of the upcoming movie The SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants. At one point during the interview, Spice shared that this was her first time attending the Kids' Choice Awards, which made the experience all the more exciting for her.
Ice Spice wore SpongeBob-inspired heels for her second look of the day at the Kids' Choice Awards
As previously mentioned, Ice Spice had reportedly joined the voice cast of the upcoming SpongeBob movie. According to Women's Wear Daily, her second look for the Kids' Choice Awards drew significant attention—particularly for her standout platform heels by Moschino.
The heels, predominantly yellow, were inspired by Spongebob and paired with a glossy yellow mini dress. This second outfit was completely different in taste from the first one that she wore.
According to the outlet, the heels were first seen back at Jeremy Scott's Moschino resort 2017 show in Los Angeles. The heels had pink, purple, and turquoise flower motifs, suggesting the underwater world of SpongeBob. The original collection was meant as a tribute to the "hippie-dippy Sixties" and the city's pop culture scene at the time.
Ice Spice's first outfit at the awards show was a corset-style Dolce & Gabbana dress from spring 2003. The outfit was made from pink silk and leather. The rapper reportedly styled the look with a pair of minimalist black sandals. However, it was her second outfit that gained more popularity and attention.
Everything to know about Ice Spice's upcoming SpongeBob movie
The voice cast of the upcoming SpongeBob movie includes not only Ice Spice and Hall but also Sherry Cola, Arturo Castro, and George Lopez. According to Billboard, the rapper is also set to release a track in December that is reportedly tied to the film's theme.
