It’s hard to believe that the Spice Girls are currently celebrating their 25th anniversary. Yep, it’s been a quarter of a century since Scary, Baby, Sporty, Ginger and Posh Spice first burst onto the scene and became the biggest-selling girl band of all time.
But it’s not just us normal folk who are celebrating. Back in the 90s, many of the A-list stars we know and love today were regular people who also loved the Spice Girls. So it’s no surprise celebrities are speaking out about how Girl Power shaped them to become who they are today.
Here are seven mega stars who were inspired by the Spice Girls.
Adele
Adele has made no secret of her love for the Spice Girls, and has often credited them for her career success. So when the band reunited in 2019, Adele was right there in the crowd, singing and dancing away, 21 years after first seeing them.
“Tonight with my nearest and dearest I cried, laughed, screamed, danced, reminisced and fell back in love with my 10-year-old self,” Adele posted online.
“It’s no secret how much I love them, how much they inspired me to run for my life and never look back. I finally got to meet Ginger, I got drunk with the girls and quite frankly I can’t believe how far I’ve come,” she added.
