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."

Ocasio-Cortez, speaking during a CNN town hall alongside Vermont Independent Senator Bernie Sanders, accused Republicans of refusing to work to end the government shutdown, stressing that the country’s health care system could collapse if Republicans refuse to meet Democrats’ demands in negotiations.

GOP Rep. Blames Coordinated 'Ruse' After Swastika Image Is Seen Displayed In His Office

Ohio Republican Representative Dave Taylor demanded an investigation after a swastika image was found on display in his Washington, D.C., office, and blamed it on a "targeted" "ruse."

Politico obtained a photo from a virtual meeting showing a distorted image of the American flag—its red and white lines altered into the shape of a swastika— pinned to what appears to be a cubicle wall behind Angelo Elia, a staffer for Taylor. Beside it hung a pocket Constitution and a congressional calendar. Elia’s involvement in the incident, if any, remains unclear.
