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."
