Millie Bobby Brown Defends Taylor Swift’s Album-Making Skills to Chris Pratt: ‘You Don’t Understand’
Written by djfrosty on March 6, 2025
Millie Bobby Brown isn’t standing for any misconceptions about how meticulously Taylor Swift curates her albums, not even from The Electric State costar Chris Pratt.
In a new video posted by Netflix and the Jurassic World star on Instagram Wednesday (March 5), the two actors debate who had it better: teenagers in the ’90s or modern-day adolescents. Their biggest disagreement came, however, when it came to music, with the Enola Holmes leading lady aghast to find that teens had to listen to songs in the order they appeared on albums three decades or so ago.
“If I didn’t want to listen to ‘It’s Your Thing,’ I would have to fast-forward through all of ‘It’s Your Thing’ to get to ‘Dreams to Remember’?” she said while inspecting a cassette tape loaded into a Walkman. “That’s horrible!”

Pratt then mused pointedly, “There was once a time where artists who made tapes, they curated their music into a very intentional list.”
“No, that’s not true, Chris,” the Stranger Things actress vehemently interjected. “Taylor Swift curates her album from start to finish.”
“You don’t have to listen to her album that way,” Pratt countered. “You can go on Spotify and hit shuffle and listen to it however the AI decides.”
Brown then finished the argument by insisting passionately, “A true Swiftie wouldn’t.”
“You don’t understand,” she added to the Parks & Recreation alum.
In the clip, Brown and Pratt also compared and contrasted Polaroid cameras with iPhone selfies, as well as inspected a 30-year-old answering machine. The inspiration for the video came from the 1990s setting of The Electric State, which arrives on Netflix March 14.
The spirited debate is also far from the first time Brown has demonstrated her fandom of the “Anti-Hero” singer. While on The Kelly Clarkson Show in March last year, the actress dubbed herself a “hardcore Swiftie to the point of knowing “exactly where [Swift] is at all times.”
“I went to the Eras Tour and it was just … it was the most amazing experience,” she gushed at the time. “So when I went to my show — I went to Ohio, I flew there solely for Taylor — and she played ‘Evermore’ and I collapsed to the ground. It was pretty crazy.”
