Chan reacted to the grand gesture and called it "so romantic." She added, "Twenty-one years later, I can’t quite get as low, but it brings back a lot of fond memories."

After some issues with the song playing on Instagram, Meta spokesperson Sienna La Rocca confirmed to The Verge that there were no copyright issues.

People have had mixed reactions to the gesture on the internet, with some swooning over the gesture while others criticised it.

One user said summed up everyone's reactions in one sentence - “this is the most billionaire thing to do for your anniversary.”
