'Stranger Things' Star Shares 'F**king Stupid' 3 Words He Said To Taylor Swift
HuffPost
The actor, Joseph Quinn, said he “meant it as a compliment.”
Joseph Quinn is a classically trained actor — but admittedly not great at first impressions.
The “Stranger Things” star sat down with Josh Horowitz for an interview on Monday’s episode of the “Happy Sad Confused” podcast and, when asked about the cringiest celebrity encounter he’s had since finding fame, didn’t have to think too long to remember.
“I met Taylor Swift once and I said, ‘You’re Taylor Swift,’” answered Quinn. “And she was very funny. She said something nice about the show and I said, ‘Oh thanks! You’re Taylor Swift!’ I meant it as a compliment … I remember thinking, ‘That was fucking stupid.’”
“But she was very good-humored about it,” he continued.
Swift continues to dominate the current pop culture zeitgeist with her record-breaking “Eras Tour” and publicized relationship with Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.
