While the world goes crazy over Millie Bobby Brown, she goes crazy over Taylor Swift and her songs. It is a well-known fact the British actor is a huge Swifty as she has been vocal about it. Moreover, when Brown got engaged, she even announced the news with Taylor Swift’s song, ‘Lover.’ However, her love for the American singer goes way back to when she chose the perfect song for her rebellious heroine Enola Holmes after the release of the second installment of the franchise.

The Stranger Things star’s Enola Holmes 2 was released after around two weeks after ‘Midnight,’ Swift’s tenth studio album’s release. During her interview with ScreenRant, Brown was asked to choose the perfect song for her powerful character, Enola. The 19-year-old actress chose a song, ‘The Man’, from Swift’s 2019 album, Lover. She did not choose the song randomly, as she had a proper explanation for her choice.

The star believed that ‘The Man’ itself explained the reality. Brown further explained Swift dressing up as a man in the video was something Enola would have also done. Set in the 19th century, Enola Holmes saw the young girl’s struggles to become a detective, emerging out of the shadows of his brother Sherlock Holmes. But because she was a girl, she had to face a lot of troubles which also made her hide her identity. Therefore, as the British actress revealed, Enola would have loved to be a man because it would lead her further in life with ease.

Although while choosing the perfect song for Enola Holmes, Brown also praised Swift’s creation. Given the film has a lot of powerful themes, the song also supports the film’s theme of sexism.

Millie Bobby Brown makes the perfect choice that also supports an important theme of the movie

Based on Nancy Springer’s book series, the Netflix Original saw Henry Cavill as Sherlock Holmes alongside the Damsel actress and Sam Clafin. The film has many themes, including sexism, which was prevalent back then and even now. Therefore, the song that the two Primetime Emmy Awards-nominee chose supported that theme. In the song, Swift talks about the idea of gender perception. If one would look closer at the lyrics, it also talks about how the world would perceive her mistakes and achievements differently if she were a man.

The same thing happens with Enola in the film. Despite being equally intelligent as her brother, Sherlock, she does not get enough recognition. She even saves the day by helping Sherlock solve a mysterious case. However, it is Sherlock who gets the credit in the public eye. While Enola becomes an example of breaking the barriers, the recently engaged actress also once sent a powerful message to all the young warriors, encouraging them to stand up for themselves.

Constantly trying to inspire women out there, Brown once applauded her friend, Taylor Swift, by choosing her powerful song over any other. What do you think about Millie Bobby Brown’s choice of song for Enola Holmes? Pour your views in the comments below.
