The 'Mama Do' singer told Metro that although her first music purchase was "probably a Spice Girls single", she is now a fan of a wide range of rock and pop.
When asked what she would keep in her pouch were she a kangaroo, Lott said: "My best friend, my lipstick and my iPod.
"I've got Bat For Lashes, Jason Mraz, Kings Of Leon, MGMT, Noah And The Whale, John Legend, Air Traffic, Adele and the Goo Goo Dolls on there now. I love that guitary stuff."
She added: "When I was little I listened to my mum's music. I sang all the big ballads by Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston. My speciality was 'My Heart Will Go On' by Celine Dion. All the divas inspired me.
"I met Mariah. She had a party in London and I got to meet her. I thought I'd be fine as I've met so many people but I shook her hand and started welling up.
"I had to put my head down. It was so embarrassing but I was overwhelmed, she'd been my idol since I was so young. Then she went to the toilet. She didn't give me any advice on how to be a popstar."
