If you wanna be Blake Lively‘s lover, you gotta get with her friends — a group that now includes Posh Spice, whom the It Ends With Us star recently met and was totally starstruck by.
In a sweet clip posted by Emma Bunton’s Heart Radio show Sunday (Aug. 11), Lively is audibly a little breathless when the former Spice Girl walks in the room. “Oh my god! This is so crazy,” the actress says as Bunton laughs. “You have no idea. This is not a bit at all. This is how I genuinely how I feel about you, and my kids are so excited I’m here.”
Another video finds the Gossip Girl alum showing off a childhood photo of herself dressed up as Baby Spice. Present-day Lively still wears the “BABY” necklace she’s had since she was 10, and, in the clip, she asks Bunton to take a selfie wearing it. Posting the photo on Instagram, the singer wrote, “Loved spending time with you today. Have an amazing night tonight lovely lady @blakelively”

Bunton also asks Lively if she knows Scary and Ginger Spice’s iconic “Wannabe” rap before the pair performs it together, to the Age of Adeline leading lady’s delight. “Do I know it? Of course I know it,” she said. “They’re gonna give me a restraining order when I live here.”
The interview came just a few days after the premiere of It Ends With Us in New York City, which Lively attended with husband Ryan Reynolds. The actor’s Deadpool & Wolverine costar Hugh Jackman also hit the red carpet with the couple.
For the event, Lively paid tribute to another Y2K pop star: Britney Spears, whose iconic pink, blue and green sparkly Versace gown the actress wore on the red carpet.
“Britney, us millennials all have a story of a moment, or of years, that you made us want to shine and inspire awe, with strength and joy and immensely hard work,” Lively wrote on her Instagram Story last week. “Thank you for your example and your contribution to women telling their stories.”

Associated Press previously reported that the main suspect in the case, a 19-year-old male, confessed that he planned to “kill as many people as possible” outside Ernst Happel Stadium, where Swift was scheduled to perform from August 8 to 10.
In a statement on Wednesday (Aug. 7), Barracuda Music, the concert promoters for the Austrian shows said, “With confirmation from government officials of a planned terrorist attack at Ernst Happel Stadium, we have no choice but to cancel the three scheduled shows for everyone’s safety. All tickets will be automatically refunded within the next 10 business days.”
The person identified as the main plotter reportedly quit his job and “conspicuously changed his appearance and adapted to IS [Islamic State] propaganda,” despite his North Macedonian roots. Omar Haijawi-Pirchner, Austria’s head of the Directorate of State Security and Intelligence, said the suspect wanted to use knives or homemade explosives to attack Swifties outside the stadium at the event, which was expected to draw more than 195,000 fans.
Authorities also said that I.S. and al-Qaida materials were found at the home of a second, 17-year-old Austrian suspect, who was reportedly recently hired by a company that provides services at the venue. Both suspects are currently in custody.
Swift is currently set to perform at London’s Wembley Stadium over five sold-out nights from August 15 to 20.
