Brown kicked off the night with a fun twist: a rap-style Season 1 recap, drawing cheers as she effortlessly summarized the series’ earliest mysteries, friendships, and Demogorgon drama. It was a callback to her iconic 2016 Fallon appearance, and fans couldn’t get enough.

She then shifted into a playful segment where she mapped Eleven’s character arc through Taylor Swift albums, comparing her own emotional evolution to the phases of Swift’s discography—from Fearless to Reputation, and finally Midnights. Between laughs, she also joked that she “loves football now because of Taylor Swift,” referencing the pop icon’s ongoing NFL cultural takeover.

One of the evening’s most touching moments came when she gifted Fallon a bracelet worn by Eleven in Season 2, a keepsake directly from the set. Fallon, visibly surprised, called it “one of the coolest gifts ever received on the show.”

For fans hungry for clues about the upcoming finale, Brown delivered a cheeky musical tease: a brief serenade with backup dancers hinting at “tears, twists, and big, big energy.” But in true Netflix fashion, she kept the real spoilers locked away, warning the audience, “They’d literally shut off my mic if I said too much.”

With Season 5 launching its first episodes on November 26 and the dramatic finale scheduled for New Year’s Eve, Brown’s appearance timed perfectly to build anticipation without revealing crucial plot details. Her effortless co-hosting chemistry with Fallon and playful callbacks to her early Stranger Things days left fans nostalgic and eager for the show’s final farewell.

As the countdown to the end of Hawkins begins, Millie Bobby Brown’s visit reaffirmed what viewers already know: Eleven’s journey may be ending, but her impact on pop culture is here to stay.
