Emma Stone Regrets Golden Globes Joke About Pal Taylor Swift After It Was Taken Out Of Context

Emma Stone revealed she learned her lesson after she called Taylor Swift an "a**hole."

Yes, she was joking, and also yes, the two have been friends for a very long time, but Stone definitely feels like a "dope" after the comment was blown out of proportion by multiple media outlets.

The Poor Things star made the joke after winning Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture — Musical or Comedy at the Golden Globes back in January.

A reporter asked the actor about Swift's "huge applause" after Stone was announced as the winner.

Stone quipped:

“What an a**hole, am I right?”

She walked away from the mic but then returned, adding:

“No, I’ve known her for almost 20 years, and I was very happy she was there."

"And she was also nominated tonight, which was wonderful and, yes, what an a**hole.”

On Wednesday, Stone told Variety she regrets making the joke at all after it was taken out of context.

She explained:

“I definitely won’t make a joke like that again because I saw headlines that really pulled it out of context."

Stone then pointed at herself and added:

“What a dope.”

The actor actually met Swift when she was 18 at a Young Hollywood Awards.

She said the two "kept in touch ever since and became great friends.”

Regardless, Swifties appreciated the Oscar winner speaking out about the incident.

Many, however, felt the explanation was unnecessary.
