Brad and Mill's costume ring gets mistaken for an engagement
Viewers recognise The Summer I Turned Pretty, but others read the couple's dressed-up pose as a very different announcement.
Why this story? The video opened at a pace of 341,624 views a day, 7.8 times a normal first day on this channel (43,889).
This costume won us couples costume of the year 😆
Mill shows her hand to the camera, and the congratulations start arriving. Brad and Mill's costume throwback has created a small misunderstanding: among the viewers recognising a television reference are others asking whether the couple have got engaged.
The Short is a costume performance, rather than an engagement announcement. Mill poses in a denim dress with Brad behind her in a grey suit and black tie. The serious expressions last only briefly before he smiles, pulls her into a hug and the pair dance together.
The audio's reference to "Connie baby" gives The Summer I Turned Pretty viewers something to recognise. In the comments, people identify Belly, single out Mill's expression and discuss the ring, while a separate stream of replies offers congratulations.
The clip has drawn nearly a quarter of a million views in thirteen hours, already well beyond the channel's usual full-day Shorts audience. Its comment section is also more than four times as busy as a typical first day.
On-screen text bills the outfit as last year's best couples costume. It joins a run of costume uploads from Brad and Mill, including another titled "We won costume of the year again 🤣".
