Tonight is the night when two — akaEmma BuntonandEmma Stone— become one!
Ahead of taking the stage with her fellowSpice Girls—Geri Halliwell,Melanie “Mel B” BrownandMelanie “Mel C” Chisholm— for a concert stop at London’s Wembley Stadium on theirSpice World – 2019 Tour, Thursday night, the singer shared two photos of herself posing with the Oscar-winning actress (and self-admitted super fan!) in front of their stage to her Instagram.
“When Emma met Emma,” Bunton, 43, wrote in the caption of the photos, and she added the hashtag “#2become1” in reference to the group’s 1996 hit of that name.
“So that’s pretty messed up,” she jokingly added. “It wasn’t necessarily because of her. But, yes, in second grade did I go up to the teacher on the first day and ask her to call me Emma? Yes, I did. Was it because of Emma Lee Bunton from the Spice Girls? Yes, it was.”

Stone went on to say that she had seen the Spice Girls in concert in the ’90s and then again in 2008. Since the interview took place shortly after the group had announced their reunion tour, Stone said, “I will be going to that somehow.”
After traveling across the UK and Ireland since May, the Spice Girls will conclude their 13-date reunion tour on Saturday with their last performance in London.
ThoughVictoria Beckham, aka “Posh Spice,” didnot participate in the tourin order tofocus on her fashion label, that didn’t stop her from supporting her former bandmates ahead of theirfirst show in Dublin on May 24.
“Good luck to the girls today as they start their tour!” she captioneda throwback photo ofthe group performing in their heyday, adding the hashtag#FriendshipNeverEnds— a reference to their breakout hit “Wannabe” — and tagging her former bandmates.
