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."

MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell was mocked online after it emerged that he reportedly sobbed to a judge that he's "in ruins" and doesn't have the money to pay a court-ordered $50,000 fine to the voting software company Smartmatic, which he falsely claimed had rigged the 2020 election results in favor of former President Joe Biden.

He has recently laid off hundreds of MyPillow employees due to what he described as severe financial distress.
