Johnson previously discussed her love for the British girl group during an appearance onThe Late Late Show with James Cordenlast year, saying that she “went full Spice Girls” with her musical taste as a child.
“I met them. We went to a concert — my dad [Don Johnson] took me and one of my friends and we went backstage and met them and they were getting ready,” she recalled. “And they were all in their robes and hair and makeup, and I got a picture with them.”
But unfortunately, it was a time before digital cameras were as widely available for ease of review, and the photographic evidencedidn’t turn out the way she’d hoped.
“We got the picture developed and it was just me and all of their heads were cut off,” Johnson said, adding with a laugh, “It was just me and a bunch of boobies.”
