When did the pronunciation of ‘literally’ in the US start to change? /u/ChymChymX No such thing as stupid questions

For my entire life (40+) I have only heard people in the US pronounce literally as “lit-ur-uh-lee” and now I’m seeing a lot of gen z and other people pronounce it like “LIT-truh-lee”, almost like a British English accent to my ear. Does anyone else notice this change? When did it start happening?
