Today, Millie Bobby Brown welcomed her followers on Instagram and invited them to have a look at her world, the world filled with glamour, fun and family. To her post, in which she trustingly shared the pictures and captioned them “the life of a showgirl”, she trusted the pictures to do the speaking. The post was accompanied by photos that resembled a behind-the-scenes video of a life that was equally divided among the glamour, family and fun.

In the comments section, the post received a warm reception along with immediate engagement. One of the first and most quoted comments directly connected to the pop culture by stating ‘When Taylor did life of a showgirl she was speaking about you.’ It refers to a connection that has been with Brown all along, underscoring the ‘girl’-the traits of a young woman who is gradually revealing her identity, fame, and performance, personal as well as artistic growth- how her youth was characterized with the lyrics. A user with an opposite view, however, interpreted the opposite and stated the track might be referring to someone else, but the main parallel had already dominated the discussion.
The atmosphere was full of support and love even though Swift was not mentioned. “Love that she’s happy now!!” and “The coolest showgirl we know” were comments expressing a genuine appreciation of this phase of her life. Messages that referred to her as the ‘Best mama out there’ were new and one very observant user pointed out an unusual family detail— ‘The first picture being with your daughter and her grandpa (LITERALLY BONJOVI) is crazy and you should flaunt it as much as you can.’—were indicators of a very powerful current of public recognition of her motherhood. This remark exemplifies the unique blend of usual family moments and extraordinary celebrity relations that define her life.
There has always been a connection between celebrities and their characters and the very beginning of the discussion revealed this connection most clearly when one commenter so fervently proclaimed, ‘Put her on dwts NOW.’ This led to a mini-discussion in the replies about how a star of her current status would not be tempted to participate in a ‘Dancing with the Stars’ type of reality show, with some categorizing it as only for previously famous people and others, mentioning Zendaya‘s case as a younger exception. It was a non-issue but a lively tangent that revealed the high interest and engagement level of her followers about her future moves.
In terms of beauty, it was a 10/10 and she just earns her living being beautiful and clever, were replies from others. In addition, unless her next big-hit pop album is out, one of her musical ventures aside from acting was also indirectly mentioned. The overall mood that was projected by her followers was that they were all supporting Millie Bobby Brown, the very lively, confident and joyful one.

Through the character’s journey from a child artist to a producer, entrepreneur and young mother, Millie Bobby Brown has always kept the audience’s attention. It seems that such a simple post is actually a very skillful presentation of that journey. It does not deal with the red carpet or professional successes, but rather, it mirrors the personal mosaic of her days. The interaction shows that her audience is not only interested in her roles; they are emotionally attached to the person behind them. It seems that the life of this particular showgirl is one that they are very keen to witness unfold. Her business ventures, like her Florence by Mills fashion bar collection, show her entrepreneurial side. Fans also love when she rocks cozy Crocs in casual settings, and her cozy Crocs line launch was a major hit. Meanwhile, as Stranger Things nears its end, her co-stars are reflecting on their legacies.
