Thank you for addressing the actual issue. I believe that legally it depends on the contract that each individual artist agrees to contractually. Taylor Swift ( love her or not) has made it so she legally owns the rights to all of her music.

I do wonder if Sabrina’s label did license the use of the song for ICE.

Every contract to a new artist is boilerplate and contains the assignment of all copyright claims to published works. If an artist is popular and delivers on that first contract then they are in a position to negotiate. I guarantee the record company owns the rights to the songs on Taylor Swift’s very first album.
