Singer Charli XCX admits she was "obsessed" with Britney Spears and the Spice Girls when she was younger.
The 23-year-old singer credits the "Toxic" hitmaker with sparking her desire to be a pop star and she still thinks the star makes "great" music, reported Femalefirst.
"I just started making my own songs and I made so many of them that I thought I wanted to show them to people. From when I was younger, I was always fascinated by Britney Spears. I was always obsessed with her when I was a kid. I think that's what made me want to be in the music industry. I think her music is great."
The "Boom Clap" hitmaker was also a big fan of the Spice Girls.
"The Spice Girls were a big influence on me growing up, then Britney. Super, super pop stuff when I was younger, for sure.
