The 'Hollaback Girl' singer has spoken of her love for British culture and how she never thought that she would be able to experience it.
"It's really weird becoming a part of [British culture], because I was always such a fan," she told the UK edition of Elle.
"When I discovered music it was all about the UK... Madness, The Specials, UB40, Depeche Mode, The Cure and all of that 1980s music I worship.
"The music they wrote was so English, it was about their world. I thought it was the coolest thing ever," she added.
"When you grow up in Orange County, you never think you'll go there. The fact that I ended up with this English guy is really weird."
