Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.
After Mel B confirmed that the Spice Girls would be making an appearance at Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s wedding, one question popped into everyone’s minds: Would the iconic girl group be performing at the royal wedding?
Scary Spice couldn’t confirm
Scary Spice couldn’t confirm (or deny!) that the ladies would be singing, but it got fans hyped for a possible performance. After the girls posted a reunion selfie earlier this year, fans have been itching for more Spice-related content. But which song would be the best song to play at a wedding?
Odds are good
Odds are good that “Wannabe” is not the best choice for a wedding dance — but they could make it work! There are a collection of romantic songs that could potentially work at the wedding, in addition to their biggest hits. There is the classic smooth jam “2 Become 1” from their debut album, or the lesser-known romantic ballad “Oxygen.”
Of course
Of course, there is also “Let Love Lead The Way” from their third studio album, Forever. Then there’s their powerful slow ballad “Times Go By” with the super gushy lyrics: You are the reason that my heart beats/ And no, I never thought I will ever fall so deep.”
This is an aside post.
Pop singer-songwriter MAX recently sat down with Billboard as part of the “How It Went Down” video series, to reveal how his romantic breakthrough hit song “Lights Down Low” — which he used to propose to his now-wife — was created.
The track, which appears on MAX’s third studio album Hell’s Kitchen Angel, was written while he was on tour with Fall Out Boy and Wiz Khalifa. At the time, the musician had just started dating the woman he would one day marry, and she would fly out to see him on weekends throughout the tour. “Our time was so precious,” says MAX, explaining that the lyric, “Can I stop the flow of time?/ Can I swim in your divine?” was inspired by their short, sporadic visits together.
“We would just have these weekends in different states on this tour and trying to just encapsulate them,” he adds. “I didn’t want her to leave ever. I just wanted it to be that moment, us together, and not anything else in the world.”MAX says that he had a great energy with the song’s co-writers, Liam O’Donnell and 3OH!3’s Nathaniel Motte, and that O’Donnell initially came up with the track’s hook. “The music kind of surrounded that hook, and then we wrote all the lyrics around the hook, which is rare,” MAX explains. “But for this one, it was just this encapsulated feeling… what are the things that you really soak another person up with?”
“I actually proposed to my wife with the song with a harp player and I sang it to her,” the New York-based musician continues. “Those little moments are the ones that you really remember… just laying with someone you love, and their head on your chest, and just the little tiny things that really sort of encapsulate a story.”

As every Swiftie knows, Taylor Swift has two cats with very distinctive personalities:
Olivia, the sassy but friendly weirdo, and Meredith, the cold-hearted queen. On Tuesday (Feb. 27), Swift shared a rare Instagram video of the two, showing off their unique personalities.
The video — which she captioned: “In this house, there is no correct or incorrect way to relax” — shows Meredith sitting on the bed as a normal cat would while Olivia awkwardly lies on her side on the hard floor.
