Millie Bobby Brown, famous for her role as Eleven in Stranger Things, recently shared her deep admiration for Taylor Swift during an appearance on The Kelly Clarkson Show. Brown revealed her intense fandom, saying, “I am like hardcore. Like, I know exactly where she is at all times kind of thing.”
When Kelly Clarkson playfully suggested that this might be seen as stalking, Brown responded with a laugh, “It’s like loosely based.” Her admiration for Swift goes well beyond casual fandom. She described attending Swift’s Eras Tour as “the most amazing experience,” and she feels a strong connection with fellow Swifties, saying, “The fans there are the same as me. We love her that much.”
Brown’s dedication to Swift is quite detailed. She and her sister keep a meticulous record of every surprise song Swift performs during her tour. According to PEOPLE, they have a board where they mark off songs as they are performed, helping them anticipate what’s coming next. Brown recounted a memorable moment from Swift’s show in Ohio, where she was so overcome with emotion when Swift played “Evermore” that she collapsed on the ground. Brown described it as “crazy” but “incredible.”
Swift’s influence on Brown extends into her personal life as well. Turning 20 in February, Brown referred to this milestone as the start of a “new era,” echoing Swift’s own theme of transformation and personal growth.
Brown’s admiration for Swift is also apparent in significant life events. When she announced her engagement to Jake Bongiovi on Instagram in April 2023, she used lyrics from Swift’s song “Lover” for her caption: “I’ve loved you three summers now, honey. I want ’em all 🤍,” alongside a photo of the couple. Swift’s support was evident when she liked the post.
In a playful nod to her fandom, Brown later posted selfies wearing a T-shirt that read, “I’m in love with a married woman…My wife!” The selfies also featured a phone case with lyrics from Swift’s song “Anti-Hero,” saying, “It’s me, hi, I’m the problem, it’s me.”
