Hanging with Teen Heroes Ricarda Lang in the Heart of Monsoon
Ricarda Lang Entirely Affected by Monsoon
These days, she's a force to be reckoned with in Germany's parliament, having once led the Green Party. But Ricarda Lang was once a youngster too - and apparently, a diehard Tokio Hotel fan. And it seems she finally got the chance to meet the Kaulitz twins!
Stepping down as Green Party leader in November has given Ricarda a fresh breath of air. Now she's open about her weight loss, open about her love life, and open about her past battles.
Recently, the 31-year-old parliamentarian offered a glimpse into her musical past. Turns out, Tokio Hotel blasted through her speakers as she grew up!
"I'd Crumple on the Spot!"
Ricarda posted a selfie on her Instagram - and guess who was in it? Yup, none other than the Kaulitz twins, Bill and Tom! With a wide grin on her face, Ricarda cozied up to Bill, while Tom and Tim Jefferies (yes, Heidi Klum's husband) flexed their grins too.
She captioned the picture with the lyrics to Tokio Hotel's hit "Through the Monsoon," a banger from 2005 that she was surely too young for at the time. "Oh, my 13-year-old self would've simply crumpled on the spot if she'd seen this photo!" she admitted, sharing her teenage obsession with the band.
Fans seem to love the picture. "Whoa, didn't see that coming! That's super cool," one user gushed. Another said, "My 41-year-old self is still crumpling at the sight of these three!" And a third asked, "Is it the bigger honor here? I'm not a groupie, but I'd snatch a selfie with Ricarda Lang too. Totally get it, Bill & Tom." Looks like everybody's a winner!
