15 Surprising facts about Rita Ora (With Pictures)

11. She Loves The Spice Girls

Just like any other young girl who was old enough to remember the Spice Girls, Rita ended up being a huge fan. She cites them as one of her big, early musical influences, due to the huge fame that they had and the impact of their songs. She has described the excitement at hearing their music in interviews, and this is doubtless a big reason for her decision to go into pop music. She also cites Beyoncé as one of her big influences, and the superstar also functioned as a kind of mentor for Rita when she was first finding her way in the music industry.
