Taylor Swift fans have accused Stranger Things star Millie Bobby Brown of being 'disrespectful' by adding song lyrics to her engagement post.
On Tuesday (11 April), Brown announced that she is engaged to boyfriend Jake Bongiovi after having been together for two-and-a-half-years.
The 19-year-old confirmed that she would be marrying Jake, who is the son of famous rockstar, Jon Bon Jovi, in an Instagram post, which showed them both hugging and smiling as she shows off her new ring on her left hand.

After the announcement post dropped, fans soon picked up on the fact that Brown had used lyrics from Swift's hit song 'Lover'.
She wrote: "I've loved you three summers now, honey, I want 'em all."
However, while it may have been with good intentions, some commenters questioned the timing of the caption due to recent media reports.
Swift made headlines over the Easter weekend with reports that she has split up with long-time partner, Joe Alwyn.
According to Entertainment Tonight, the split was 'amicable' and 'not dramatic'.
However, neither Swift nor Alwyn have publicly confirmed that they've called it quits.
And some fans took to social media to speak against Brown's post, with one person saying: "The way she worded is simply rude. She could've say like 'engaged' or 'mine <3' but the way she said it, it seems like 'I don't care taylor and joe broke up."
And a second added: "Not to bring my personal drama to main but I just think it's a LITTLE DISRESPECTFUL for Millie Bobby Brown to use Taylor Swift lyrics in her engagement post on this of all weeks."
Meanwhile, a third on Twitter remarked: "millie bobby brown announcing her engagement using taylor swift lyrics while the breakup rumours are going around is brutal."
Tyla has reached out to Millie Bobby Brown's representatives for comment.
However, Swift herself was seemingly not too bothered as she actually gave the engagement post a like.
And many eagle-eyed fans spotted this interaction between the pair, leaving making of them in going crazy online.
One excited fan wrote: "TAYLOR LIKED OMG," while a second added: "Not the lover reference!"
But the 'Reputations' singer wasn't the only famous face to send their congrats, as many celebrities also flocked to the comment section of the engagement post to wish the couple well.
The Only Way is Essex star Jess Wright wrote: "Ommmmggggg congratulations!!!!!!!!! @milliebobbybrown this is amazing. So so happy for you darling."
Meanwhile, Paris Hilton kept it short and sweet, saying: "Congratulations beautiful!"
And 20-year-old Bongiovi also shared the announcement on his own Instagram, simply writing: "Forever."
