Joseph Quinn revealed he had a cringey first interaction with Taylor Swift.

The Stranger Things star appeared on the July 1 episode of the Happy Sad Confused podcast, where he recalled the "f**king stupid" thing he said when he met the megastar for the very first time.

He recounted:

"I met Taylor Swift once, and I said, 'You're Taylor Swift.'"
"She was very funny."

Quinn said the 14-time Grammy winner tried to continue the conversation, but he could only utter the same thought.

"She said something nice about, like, the show [Stranger Things], and I said, 'Oh, thanks. You're Taylor Swift.'"
"I meant it as a compliment."

Host Josh Horowitz agreed Quinn's comment was a compliment before Quinn added:

"It's definitely a compliment, and I remember thinking like that was f**king stupid."
"But she was very good-humored about it."

When asked by the host if all is well between the two now, the Quiet Place: Day One actor joked:

"Excellent, yeah, great terms."

He then quipped that he will be on one of her upcoming albums.

"We are just trying to figure it out."

Veterans Explain Which Things About The U.S. Military They Didn't Realize Until They Left

The saying, 'Can't see the forest for the trees' refers to a common inability to realize things about a situation a person is in while that person is in the thick of it. It's only after being removed from the situation does the person have the ability to realize where exactly they were and what was happening.

It's a similar idea to the saying 'hindsight is 20/20' which means reflection on past circumstances usually often more clarity than in the moment.
