Taylor Swift just proved she’s not only a global pop superstar — she’s also a lifelong Spice Girls superfan. The “Anti-Hero” singer had fans swooning Friday when she sat down with Emma Bunton, better known as Baby Spice, for the Heart Breakfast show in London, co-hosted by Jamie Theakston.
The pop icon didn’t hold back, letting her fangirl flag fly as she recalled her childhood obsession with Baby Spice.
“It’s so crazy to actually get to be in the same room with you because I was telling you, I used to… I had your doll, the Baby Spice doll, and it was my favorite one,” Taylor confessed. “We would all fight over who got to be you amongst the girls that were blonde.”
The heartfelt admission had listeners glued to the broadcast. For Swift, Baby Spice wasn’t just a pop star — she was her very first celebrity crush.
“Honestly, you just mean the world to me. You were the first person I, like, freaked out over,” she gushed, leaving Bunton smiling and clearly touched by the praise.
