Did Millie Bobby Brown 'mock' Taylor Swift? Actress under fire for using singer's 'Lover' lyrics in engagement post
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Millie Bobby Brown was accused of mocking Taylor Swift after she announced her engagement with the lyrics to her song 'Lover.' After a two-year relationship, the actress, 19, announced her engagement to Jake Bongiovi, 20, on Tuesday, April 11. She posted charming black and white photos of the couple while wearing her stunning engagement ring, writing, 'I've loved you three summers now, honey, I want 'em all.'
While Millie is a self-confessed Swiftie, who has posed for photos with the singer, many were quick to attack her for utilizing the lyrics only days after Taylor announced her split from six-year boyfriend, Joe Alwyn.

As soon as the post went online, fans commented, as one of the users wrote, "TAYLOR LIKED OMG Taylor likedd sksksk." A different user commented, "Not me crying cause Taylor won't be getting those summers :((((((((((((" The last user wrote, "Right after Taylor broke up 😭⁉️"
Since Taylor Swift "liked" the social media post, it shows that she didn't find Millie's use of her song's lyrics offensive at all. Millie has previously run into Grammy-winning singer-songwriter on the sideline of events, and in 2018, while at one of her gigs, even posed for a selfie with her as a fan.
In June 2021, the Stranger Things actress introduced Jake to her 62.7M Instagram followers with a sweet photo of him, but it wasn't until she posted a picture of him kissing her cheek that they became "Instagram official." In a heartfelt post from January 2023, when she shared a number of images of the couple, Millie referred to Jake as her "partner for life."
Why did Taylor break up with Joe?
As for Taylor, she is said to have broken up with Joe after dating him for six long years. According to insiders, the couple's problems stemmed from the fact that, once the pandemic ended, the superstar's career began to eclipse her boyfriend's. According to a source, who spoke exclusively to DailyMail.com, it was due to the actor's deteriorating work prospects, stating he had struggled to get his career off the ground, causing a schism between the two, especially after Taylor returned to touring stadiums full of adoring fans.
According to the Insider, "The bottom line for the difficulties in their relationship was that Taylor's career took priority over Joe's — which can be awkward for a couple when it's not balanced. This drove them apart and ultimately, they both realized they were not on the same page anymore," as reported by Daily Mail.
