During her recent appearance on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,” Millie Bobby Brown used Taylor Swift‘s albums to talk about her years playing Eleven on “Stranger Things.” Brown is a dedicated Swiftie, and the moment felt very true to that idea.
From the pop icon’s “Speak Now” to the latest, “The Life of a Showgirl,” the 21-year-old explained Eleven’s journey using each album — and she did it without missing a beat.
Millie Bobby Brown uses Taylor Swift albums to talk about her character on Jimmy Fallon show
On the show, Jimmy Fallon asked if Millie Bobby Brown liked football, and she answered with a deadpan, “Yeah, I love Taylor Swift” — and the segment turned into a rundown of Swift’s albums. The crowd cheered, and Brown, for her part, did not hold back, saying, “She’s the best,” explaining how the 35-year-old’s eras help describe Eleven and her own experiences growing up on “Stranger Things.”
Brown walked Fallon and the audience through each reference, starting with, “Eleven has always been totally fearless, and that taught me to speak now.” She recalled wearing a red dress to her first SAG Award win, mentioned that “Eleven needs to save the world before 1989,” and added that the character gave her “a reputation.”
Moreover, the “Damsel” star tied in personal milestones from her early career: “I had my first kiss on the show, married my lover, and had a baby girl. Like, isn’t that the best folklore you’ve ever heard?” Near the end, she shared, “I’m so lucky to have played Eleven and will be forevermore in debt to the Duffers and Netflix,” adding that she’d be there “long past midnight” if she thanked everyone.
In her final line, the “Enola Holmes” lead admitted, “I’m so sad that the show is ending,” adding, “Like, so sad, I could teach in the Tortured Poets Department.” She finished with, “But, hey, that’s the life of a showgirl.” Fallon closed the segment by cheering her on, telling the audience, “That’s how it’s done!”
Millie Bobby Brown’s love for Taylor Swift and her albums has always been public, and her monologue on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” showed exactly why fans enjoy hearing her talk about it.
