Megan Thee Stallionis weighing in onStranger Things' series-long love triangle.
The Grammy Award winner, 27, grilledNatalia Dyerabout her character Nancy rejectingJoe Keery’s Steve and whether she’s “Team Jancy” or “Team Stancy” while co-hostingThe Tonight Showthis week withJimmy Fallon.
“I’m Team Stancy. I want Steve,” she declared on Thursday’sepisode. “Let’s talk about it though. Okay, so boom. At first, you liked Steve. You were into Steve, and then you just kind of like dumped him. No caution, he didn’t know what was happening. Poor Steve.”
Dyer, 27, who has beenromantically linkedto Jonathan actorCharlie Heatonsince the first season premiered in 2016, responded with a laugh. “I do feel bad. Honestly, I just think the way Jonathan and Nancy happened, I was like, she doesn’t always make the most morally right decisions all the time. But that’s human,” she said.

“She’s a hot girl,” Megan said, before adding, “Wait, wait, wait. ‘Cause we didn’t even get to the juicy part. So then, in this last season, you was flirting with Steve. So like, what’s it really giving, Nancy? … I feel like you like Steve still.”
“You know, I have options, I guess,” Dyer said as applause rang out from the live audience.
Fallon, 47, made the assumption that Nancy is “probably not even thinking about a love triangle” with everything else going on, to which Dyer responded, “That’s really how I feel. Everyone’s [says] ‘Stancy, Jancy’ but I think she probably just needs a little ‘me’ time after all of it. Maybe a little therapy even. Like, they’re still in high school, it’s pretty intense.”
“So much to think about,” Meg added. “Jonathan is boring. She’s so smart, she’s so pretty. She’s got things to do. Yes, we love Nancy.”
Heaton, 28, previouslytold PEOPLEabout navigating their characters’ relationship versus their offscreen dynamic when season 3 premiered in 2019. “Obviously, we have different relationships, but it’s like we both care about the character relationships as well,” he said.
